How do I tell them enough is enough?

Question

Okay, for the past two days I have been going into another teacher's class to work on a project. These two guys who I don't know very well keep prodding, poking, and throwing paper at me. They have even started touching me and squeezing my sides and stuff. I have asked them to stop, but they don't! The teacher gets angry at me I I talk, but he has no problem if they do. Can anybody help?

Answer 1

Listen, if you have gone to the teacher & told her the situation & they still won't do it then they aren't doing their job. What the boys are doing is harassment & teachers are obligated to do what is necessary to make it stop. The next step would be to go to the guidance counselor or go to the person above your teacher, such as the principal. Tell them & if they don't do anything about, tell your parents. If they act like they don't care, write a letter to the editor of your local paper about how aggravated you are about the situation "no ones listening" and then once they publish it, cut out the article & stick it in your teachers/principals box. I guarantee you they'll do something then.

You definitely need to put your foot down confront the teacher when you are alone and really sound sincere. After you have done that make a formal complaint with the counselor principal. It is sexual harassment and young children really don't understand what they are doing. You will not get a bad rep because everything you say is kept confidential. by the way if you don't say anything there will be so many people doing the same thing whether it is because they like you or they don't like you meaning boys and girls don't become abused! Take it from some one who knows

She is exhibiting behavior she should have outgrown by the age of 12. I have a 14-year old and a 16 year old. They get themselves up in the morning, get themselves ready, school stuff packed, lunches packed (or they go hungry), and off to the bus stop without help. They are happy well-adjusted kids. Your mom is not helping your sister by encouraging her to rely on others for things she herself should be doing. When your mom lets this happen day after day, the underlying message is actually, "I don't think you're capable of doing this yourself so I'll help you." If you and your mother abruptly quit helping her out in this way, she'd learn pretty quickly. The underlying message of NOT helping her is this: "I believe you are a capable and responsible person and you can do it!" Tell her in a loving manner that this isn't happening anymore; your mom must agree to it. And be positive when your sister begins to manage on her own and is successful. It's seems strange that she requires techniques you'd normally use on a very young child, but in the long run it will benefit everyone in the family. Your sister will grow in her success at managing her own affairs; you will no longer live angry and resentful with her; and your mom can stop babying her daughter (she probably resents it, too). It will be difficult at first; if you can, try to get your sister to see that she is, at 27 years old, required to do this herself and to want to do it herself. Not easy. Stick to your guns. She will no doubted make some mistakes in the process (getting up late and being late for work, etc.), but the consequences will teach her. She has a choice to learn the hard way or the easy way. Unfortunately some people have to learn the hard way to "get it". Hope it helps and good luck to you.

This is harassment, not allowed in any public school. Go to your school consular and file a complaint both against the guys and the teacher. It is the teacher's job to protect the students. The only other thing to do is to involve your parents, have them take it up with the school board (against the teacher and students), involve the principal and ask for a change of class.

Answer 5

I would say go to a guidance counselor, but that doesn't seem to be what young people want to do, so, Have you told the teacher that they keep bothering you? Can you move to the other side of the room? Can you work on the project in another room?
You are being harassed that's for sure, so I would just keep letting them know that you don't like it.
Maybe you should start bothering them.

Answer 6

okay so the teacher wont listen, now go to a school counselor or the principals office and make acomplaint. keep a paper trail of who and when you have been in contact with as far as school officials(keep office slips or slips to see your counselor as documentation). if nothin has been done there then you have no choice but to go to the police and make a report. dont be worried about being a tattle tell. make a complaint as many times as you need to. make sure your parents are aware of whats going on at all times. hopefully they are helping you when you are making the reports. witnesses are good.

Answer 7

Go to the teacher BEFORE the next class starts. Tell him you want to apologize for talking but ....(and then tell him WHY you were talking to these guys.) Hopefully he will keep a closer eye on them and stop them if they bother you. However, if he doesn't, don't be afraid to stop them yourself. This time, don't "ask" them to stop; TELL them in very plain language that you've had more than enough of their harassment.

Answer 8

Ok I don't know if you are a boy or a girl.. If your a boy it sounds like they are in need of a butt kicking. If you are a girl.. you need to talk to the teacher.. it the teacher seems buddy buddy with them, then talk to the counselor at your school. They need to leave you alone.

Answer 9

Well from the sound of that it is sexual harrassment and enough is enough!!! Put an end to it now. If you have to tell the teacher or go to the principal's office. DO NOT let it go on anymore!

Answer 10

Hmmm...have you already asked them to back off? If so then get aggressive. Yell at them like a freaking mad woman and get your point across. Bullies understand power so with an outburst of anger, they'll see what you're about. As for your teacher, tell him to stop being a sexist pansy and tell him to learn how to control his class.
