In the beginning of the year, my teacher was.... well, basically fired. So we were teacherless for about 1 month and then the school found another one. She started October 31. She's really young, 24. But the thing is... she has a Myspace. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal for some people - but it kinda is. At my school, it's pretty much forbidden (even though it still happens) and it's being hypocritical if my teacher has one but a student can't have one. She has inappropriate pictures of her all over the internet... But when my principal found out, she defended my teacher instead of us. She told us to stay out of her business and all that stupid crap. But it wouldn't be so hard for us to do that if all these things weren't practically plastered all over and in our faces. So... I'm wondering.... what should I do? Oh, and I forgot to mention that she looks hung over all the time. She's not a competent teacher and I don't think that she is enthusiastic about anything.

Well she's an adult and you're still a minor, so I don't think it's hypocritical for an ADULT to have a myspace page. When you're 18 you can call your own shots. It's normal not to love everything about your teachers, but you also shouldn't overstep your boundaries as a student and a child.

My guess is you are around 13. Even if you are 17 years 364 days you are still a minor. Your teacher is an adult. I bet you can't vote yet, is that fair? Can you buy a gun? Can you get a loan for a house? Can you go to a bar and buy a drink?
It completely blows me away that children consider themselves to be "Just small adults". You are not a small adult, you are a child and as such you don't have the same privileges or responsibilities that come with adulthood.
Sorry, I will be 60 (that's years old) in a few weeks, there is a difference between my two year old grandson and me. Get used to it.

What you do is precisely nothing. It is none of your business. Your teacher's an adult and you are a kid. Plastered in your face? What does that mean? You have to access her profile, it is not on every billboard. And just consider that she may not be hung over, but exhausted from all the marking and admin involved in doing her job.

Seems you've done all you could do for now. Your teacher is over 21 and is a responsible adult. Her authorities are aware of the situation, and I'm sure they are monitoring it and discussing how to handle it from their perspective. Im sure there are some legal issues they have to deal with. You've done your part and Im sure, in the long run, they are grateful for you bringing it to their attention.

I think the best thing is to ignore her. Trying to change her might not be a very practical idea given your experience with the Principal.

She's your teacher, not your mom.
What she does on her own time is none of your business.
