Hi, I’m a high school freshman and need advice. If a teacher at school is making me very uncomfortable (making in inappropriate comments on my physical appearance, randomly touching me on my back/shoulder/waist, playing with my hair, etc) what do I do? Everyone in the school believes he’s a pervert. We have tried to tell the administration, but when confronted he excused himself by saying he’s “just a touchy person.” Do I just put up with it? I’m scared it will get worse.

Tell someone! It is inappropriate. If the school doesn’t do anything, call the police.
