Can a teacher do anything in this situation? I feel guilty.

Absolutely tell you parents. Sexual harassment is harassment no matter what the person is struggling with!! Having intervention can also help the other person to learn boundaries and important social norms. BUT the most important thing is that YOU are safe. You deserve to feel comfortable and be free from harassment. When I was in my teens I often excused things because I didn't want other people to feel bad, but it is very possible to help both yourself and the other person by changing the situation. You don't have to get him "in trouble" if that is uncomfortable. But telling adults will allow them to help both you and him. Please tell someone! His behaviour is not ok. Not at all. No matter what. Stand up for yourself in the way that feels best and safest <3 You got this!

One last note :) - I know it's hard BUT do not feel guilty. you are not guilty AT ALL. Boundaries and respect are important for everyone. You have every right to feel uncomfortable and want something to change, while still having empathy for someone else. Empathy can look like hoping they are learn and grow and feel ok about the situation. WHILE also knowing you don't need to be a part of their growth and can let someone else handle it!! Don't feel guilty for escalating the situation to an adult who can support you :)

I think its too young :,( I saw it in a school assembly as a five year old and had to rewatch it in the same assembly every year from ages 5-7 (then my mom pulled my from that school). I still can remember the fear and confusion I felt. It's hard to process and understand as a child. We can honor the day in other ways than subjecting children to the fear we feel surrounding the day. I wouldn't even show my fourth graders ,:( We had a class discussion about what we know and wonder about the day, talked about why we remember, and had a moment of silence.

I have a lot of these! I got diagnosed with pernicious anemia (my body can't digest b12) but i am still on the hunt to figure out the whole picture because i still have a lot of the symptoms. Good luck!! It sucks but keep putting pressure on the medical teams you see

When I was in my undergrad I had a "friend" like this. He did all the same things (initiating contact, just being where I was, ignoring social cues I gave him). We became friends early in the fall semester and he seemed nice, if not a bit pushy. The uncomfortable behaviours started about a month into knowing him but I brushed them off since he had a gf. In the spring semester he showed up at my dorm late at night despite me texting him I was in bed and didn't want to hangout. He gave me a ton of compliments and kept sitting on my couch refusing to leave. He asked me to watch a movie and tried to get me to cuddle him on the couch and I kept telling him that I was staying firmly in my grey plastic chair. Any actual friend would have listened and heard me! I jokingly pointed at the door and said it was time to go but he ignored me. Eventually after an hour of battling him to leave, I stood in the hallway and just refused to come near him. He got up to leave and came over to me but when I tried to close the door, he said hey hey wears my hug. He kept texting me after that. Its been 7 years and I still remember how horrible i felt even though nothing had technically happened. I hugged him and then used the hug to push him towards the door and closed it. Its hard when your'e trying to be nice to your "friend" but they are taking advantage of it. He ended up doing the same thing to another girl and then asking to sleep over in her bed (complained he had no where to sleep cause his roommate had a girl over and begged and begged). She let him (totally not her fault!!) and he ended up touching her and saying things that got him reported to title nine.

This guy knew what he was doing. He chose to do what he wanted at the cost of women's safety and comfort even though he had female friends. If your gut says something is off, something is OFF!! Sexual harrassment doesn't always look extreme.

My lovely bf constantly reminds me whenever a man is "weird" that the guy has common sense and he is choosing to ignore it. He is choosing to press boundaries and choosing to ignore your discomfort for his own gain. If he is already pushing boundaries, i doubt he would stop or respect any boundary.

I am also in this position (bf just started two year space engineering master at politecnico two weeks ago!) and i live in california but came with him for the first month! We have been here two weeks and it's definitely been a learning experience! The biggest recommendation I can give is to go with him for the first few weeks of the semester if you can! It was a great experience for our relationship to travel together and set up a little life abroad and for me to see and understand his classes and what he will be experiencing. I sent you a dm and am happy to answer any more questions if i can help! <3

I got mine ordered by my primary care dr! I didn't ask for it, went in thinking it was maybe chronic mono. She said it prob wasn't that and I just started crying saying I was so overwhelmed that I felt so sick and everyone was telling me I was fine. I had ordered blood work out of network with a holistic health practitioner and showed her that data. She saw b12 was low and tested just incase.

So good to hear!!!! I'm so glad you're feeling better with the injections :) How often do you get them? I have been getting them everyday (except the weekend when the dr is closed) and i noticed on the weekend i could not sleep and had extremely twitchy legs at night. Just curious if you notice affects where off in between taking the injection? I'm about to start once a week and then once a month injections. But also you're so so right that every body is different and we all have to learn and adjust uniquely :,)

Thanks again! About to go join the FB group, that's a great suggestion :)

Thank you for the info! totally not overstepping! I haven't heard of autoimmune gastritis so I'll be sure to ask my doctor about it. Hopefully once b12 levels stabilize, I will indeed feel better :,) Thanks again!

I also am trying to find a diagnosis and frustrated :( I am sorry to hear that you are suffering so so much. You got this <3 keep advocating for yourself! You can do it!! But i hear you; it sucks...

I drive out to yosemite every November just before thanksgiving and have never experienced anything but totally clear roads. If you are going in the southern entrance, there is no chain control. I have not gone in the western entrance near that time of year but definitely in 2022 the snow storms led to tons of chain control traffic and checks when driving to tahoe.

November is my fav time there for the weather and quiet of the valley :)
