No no no and no! Talk to your mom and/or principal about it. She had no right to say that to you. If she had said something along the lines of 'that shirt is inappropriate for school' that's one thing. The comment she made to you however was demeaning and (probably) embarrassing for you! That could be considered sexual harrassment. What she did was inappropriate and I hope she's reprimanded for it.

Have you told your mother what happened? If not it is important that you mother knows what is going on at school and how you felt when this teacher made you feel very awkward. If the teacher had a problem with the clothes you were wearing she should have talked to your mother. Sounds like to me that this woman needs to talk to an adult and not try to embarrass you in front of the other students. Maybe you mother and this teacher should sit down and talk about why she did this? Maybe the guidance counselor, your mother, the teacher and yourself should sit down and talk about how you felt when she did that and how it can be construed as sexual harrassment. Anyone who makes a remark about your body parts can be sexual harrassment. I can almost guarantee if sexual harrassment is brought up she might change her tune and if other students heard what she said then there is your proof if she tries to deny it. Your guidance counselor is right it is her opinion but you are a student and she is an adult, she should keep her opinions to herself. Look up sexual harrassment on the web there is alot of things you may not know. Good luck!

There are two issues here. Are you upset that the teacher talked to you, or are you upset that she did it in front of so many people?
Your counselor was correct, it was that teacher's opinion. I'm sure that she thought she was doing the correct thing.
However, this should have been said privately. To announce it in a busy hallway is embarrassing and humiliating for you. Did you talk this over with your mom? Perhaps mom can call your counselor and explain that this was not the way to enforce the school's policy.

No I dont think the teacher had a right to do that to you especially in the hall. If she did have a concern like that a more private setting would have been more appropiate so that it was not over heard by other students and done in a different manner.

Some schools have dress codes where this type of clothing is not permitted. Maybe she was warning you about the code? Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. She shouldn't get in trouble, she is allowed to say what she thinks of what people wear... freedom of speech. If she wasn't acting rude or belligerent then she wasn't acting outside of what is allowed. Teachers have done much worse and been within the rules.
If you try to sue for lible like someone above suggested, you'd be laughed out of court, I wouldn't suggest it.

Yep -- maybe you should take her advice. I know it isn't an easy thing to hear, but there were probably a lot of other people around who thought the same thing, but weren't kind enough to tell you. How she told you might not have been very tactful, but the message was in your best interest.

Your mother should contact the school and the school board and complain. If she had something to say to you, she should have said it privately and someone needs to explain this to her.
Some teachers are on a power trip. They think picking on kids makes them hot stuff. In enhances their ego. They should not be teaching school.
Please have an adult complain on your behalf.

The school will probably not do anything. Go to the school and demand an apology or you will sue for libel since you were were embarrassed in front of everybody. If she apologizes, accept it and don't sue, since the object is to get her to say it's not her business.
