Question: I need your opinion on a problem. .?
Hey, guys.
Here's the deal. At the school I went to my whole elementary school career, there was a Biology teacher who was a tad more...touchy-feely than others. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just mean he was a very hand-on-the-shouldery, lots-of-hugs kind of guy. Now this alone, not too bad. Here's the thing though. He seemed to take a special interest in me, and again, I don't mean that in a sexual way. He would always call on me, ask me to do favors (alone with him), help me on tests, he favored me, you know.? Again, so I was the teacher's pet, so what.? Something just wasn't right. The tone he talked to me in, the way he said "hello" to only me before class, the trying to help me while taking tests, it was just abnormal. Another time, after a got a C on a test, something I never do, and something that got me very upset, he got me alone and told me, "I think you are actually a very bright girl", or something to that affect, and again, in just an unusual tone. Now, perhaps I am just being paranoid, or searching for drama, but it has stayed with me now a few years after I left that school. I know you are probably wondering why I am asking you, instead of a family member, and the answer is, I know they will imediatly over-react. I have been in a situation before when someone asked to take my picture, very inoccently, and he was fired because I told someone. He had a family, and really needed the money, and it has bothered me ever since. I didn't want that to happen again. I guess my ultimate question is, should I make it a bigger deal, or let it go. The unltimate concern is that I would kick myself repeatedly if I didn't say something, and he acted on another student. But I do not want to over-react and cause a scene for something that was no big deal either.
I was not an exceptionally interested student. His teaching was bad, and no one could really pay attention too long, but I was one of the few who pretended to act interested. I was, however, not the only one.
Again, he never actually did or said a thing directly sexual, nor did he imply it, but you know how you can sort of just tell when something isn't right.?
Thanks for the help, and feel free to tell me I am over-reacting, I won't be insulted.
Oh, and I asked this in this particular section because I really like the people here, and they are generally women. Thanks!
I understand that the danger of anything happening is gone for ME, my concern is that in the future, he would act on it.
Okay, another thing I forgot to mention, he is late forties, early fiftees maybe, is not married, no kids, another red flag if you ask me. Perhaps, though, maybe I am just paranoid.
Oh, and yes, I did ask this last night, but people weren't too helpful, hoping for better advice. Health Question & Answer
