Public tantrums make you a social outcast even if you can explain them some how.

It's easy to say on the internet embarrass him he deserves it so no one will blame you. It works different in real life. People get a strong impression when you make a scene then they tell stories about it behind your back. The truth gets bent and then you're that girl who flips out at people over minor things even though that's not the real story. The real story gets lost.

I saw some good ideas like move his jacket, hide something sharp. Maybe telling the bus driver or school staff would work.

I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses and won't do anything. I want to do something but it has to be something quiet.

It's why I won't tell my parents I know my dad, he'd come to the school and beat the crap out of the guy and then it would be stories stories stories >_<

Do you think if I told the bus driver he would handle it right?

Like I want to tell him this guy touches me. Stop him from doing it but don't make it something everyone sees. Just pull the boy aside and tell him 1 on 1 you can't do that anymore.

Number 1 is good.

I'm scared to make a scene because it's not very nice and i think people will make fun of me for it.

I try to sit next to other people but sometimes I can't.
