I am female,13 and my male Technology teacher walked past me and some other people in my class and told us to come with him into the other room to get our work. He got hold of the top of my arm (as to lead me in the other room) and slid his hand right down my arm and then let go! He didn't get hold of my arm with a hard grip, he was gentle but I wondered why he did it and what it really meant??
Thanks..X

You probably were delaying when he told you students to come with him, so it was meant as a gentle way to disengage you from what you were doing and pull you along.
And people don't make you feel a certain way, you choose to feel a certain way about them and what they do. If you feel a certain way about their actions that doesn't then mean you are justified in feeling that way. Their intentions may have had nothing at all to do with how you chose to feel about them.
Oh, and if it was a female teacher who did the same thing to you, then would you have felt the same way about it? This is something you should consider so that you don't become sexist.

I'm a teacher and have seen colleagues being accused of doing things they've never done and this can totally destroy their lives. Be very careful. By that I mean, ignore what happened (unless something more sinister happens) and forget it. He was probably just trying to be nice and lead you into the room - his hand could have slipped or anything. Students read things into the smallest of happenings.

I think he was just showing the urgency in which he wanted you to come. So when he said to come to the room to get your work he didnt mean later, he wanted you to move now and since you were the closest person there he slightly grabbed your arm to direct you in that direction.
I would not read into it. It is common for teens to fall for or have crushes on their teachers. However it is not appropriate to act on those feelings at all. You could get yourself and your teacher in trouble.

It doesn't sound like much the way you described it. But if anything happens like that, or more detailed, leave and talk to the principle as soon as you can. It's serious, bad, and can never be good. That's all there is to it. Report it if it happens again. You don't have to put up with a teacher even laying a finger on you if you don't want to.

Just be careful which way you see it! If this is the only occurance of something then its nothing. If its not, you need to inform the police!

nothing. as you already said he was leading a group of you into another room to get your work. don't you make physical contact with people sometimes when you're asking them stuff?

I would suggest you to stay away from him cause this behavior doesn't match with a teacher.On the other hand it could mean nothing but i wouldn't want to find out.

why, you looking for a sob story to tell the guidance councilor, or perhaps someone to sue, it meant nothing, unless he keeps touching you. Its good to be aware, but don't go looking for stuff like that, whats wrong with you child?

Was he leading you all to the room? He may have just brushed you to get you moving.

Sounds like he was just looking for an excuse to touch you. Guys do it all the time. But from a teacher, I don't really think that's appropriate.
