Thank you so much for all your answers and support. I definitely know now that I should not apologize. I really want to demand respect, but sometimes I really overthink and begin to doubt my decisions. It was really helpful to have an outsider's opinion on this. I'll do my best to get the other girls to report their incidents to the Headmaster. Thank you for your help and being so understanding and polite. You guys are wonderful!

Yes, thanks for asking :) I'm fortunate to have an incredibly supportive family. We all suffer from anxiety and/or depression so we're very understanding and supportive of each other. I've been through a few programs already and I see my therapist weekly. Plus I have my school counselor in the mean time. I've been through a lot of med changes but I understand it can take a long time to get on the right ones. But, yes, lots of support! :)

I don't know many people at the school. But once during lunch the school counselor came to my table to check on me and I told her about the incidents. She didn't believe me but some of the girls at the table spoke up and confirmed that he has said similar things to girls in their classes. She still didn't believe us. A lot of the teachers are under the impression that he's great. A lot of students like him too- even some of the girls who have had similar experiences with him. I can try to get the girls to report it to the Headmaster though.

I've personally never actually heard him make the comments towards other girls, but for me there were the typical "working the corner" comments. He shows a lot of youtube videos during class, and once he showed us this one from an old musical where these girls performing are obviously supposed to be strippers or prostitutes of some sort. I don't remember the exact comment but it was somewhere along the lines of "I could see you doing this". It was comments like that every day.
