This teacher really creeps me out. She's, like, overly obsessed with me. I dunno why, though.
It all started when she caught me talking to a friend in the hall. She was "surprised" that I'm really outgoing. I'm not that shy as I was a couple years ago, but I'm still "a little" shy. Like, I don't like to participate a lot, but I try to.
Anyway, the day after she caught me talking in the hall, she came up to me after class and asked me to participate more in her class.
Then after that, she always "analyses" me when I'm talking to my friends, or just being loud in general. And what really bugs me is when she always tries to talk to me and smiles really weirdly.
And another thing: Every time I answer a question in her class, she goes "over board" on praising me. She's make a really big deal if I participate. It's so annoying!!!!!!!! And she's the only on of my teachers who does that.
I have NO clue what to do. Any advice? Were you ever in a situation like this before?

She probably wants you to be a role model in the class. Since you answered a question in her class, she wants more students to do the same, too. Don't worry about it, just be cool.
I was never in a situation like this before. But a few times, teachers told me that I'm loud at recess but quiet in class. And then, they started calling on me to answer questions. None of my teachers talked to me or smiled weirdly, if I remembered correctly.
Anyways, your teacher isn't trying to do anything creepy. She just wants you to talk in class more. (It's probably a part of your grade, too)

Sounds like the Teacher has taken you on as her very own "Project". She might think you have emotional problems or something and is happy that you are "coming out of yourself". She probably fancies herself as a bit of an Amateur Psychologist and thinks she is having great success with you. If you think the other students around you are noticing weird attitudes from your Teacher towards you then that is not good and you don't want to look like you are standing out too much do you. I actually think you could have a word with the Teacher and tell her you appreciate she is obviously being nice to you in a helpful way but that some of your friends are commenting that it is a bit over done and thanks for your concern but maybe tone it down a bit as you really don't like being centre of attention but that you are not as shy as you used to be thanks to her you could say????

She's probably just trying to encourage you to participate. She thought you were shy and that's why you weren't participating, but now she knows you talk.
Teachers are encouraged to connect with their students and find their learning styles.
I agree with those who say if you feel uncomfortable by it, then you should talk to an adult BUT make sure you are clear with your complaint and don't insinuate things that aren't happening. It doesn't sound like harrassment, just a teacher trying to do her job.

Well, it sounds to me like she is a good teacher who is trying to get you involved in class because she sees that you have potential. but if it's really bothering you i would talk to her after class and ask her to tone it down a little bit, explain to her that it's making you feel weird and that it's embarrising you in front of your friends. If she doesn't stop i would suggest talking to your parents about it so they know whats going on and if they can't help talk to the principal and tell them this teacher is bothering you.

If you are uncomfortable in any situation with an adult, go to someone you can trust, like a parent, church leader, another teacher or the principal and share your concerns with them. You should not have to feel uncomfortable in school and you have the right to feel safe.
It is better to error on the side of being overly cautious, than to error on the side of not being cautious enough.

She is trying to help unlike the other teachers who let you do whatever it is you normally do.
