My gym teacher did something weird

[Calig66]

I guess since this involves an adult, you guys would know best.
This is really embarrassing to talk about.
I was in gym, and one of the gym teachers (a younger male one) started tickling me, I just couldn't do anything but laugh and beg him to stop, but he just kept doing it for what seemed like forever, everyone was laughing at me and it was SO humiliating. Especially since we're both guys.
Was he just goofing around or do you think something fishy is going on?
What do I do? I don't want this to happen again
What do you think?

[Desuetude]

Urm in front of everyone else? Yeah I'd say something fishy was going on. You should tell someone you trust about it if you're not comfortable with the way he's acting I know I wouldn't be. Has he ever shown an interest to you or someone else in the school above everyone else because that isn't a suitable way for a teacher to act.

VTHQ :arrow: Abuse

[Clawhammer]

Honestly, I doubt it. He could just be friendly. Unless he's actually hitting on you, not abuse. He could just be friendly and be messing around. Don't go accusing someone of abusing you just for tickling. That's a big accusation for something that's really not a big deal.

[HandheldOutlaw]

I agree with Clawhammer, but I also think that it would cross the line into abuse if you talk to him about it, tell him that you don't like it, and he does it again. He needs to respect your space and your wishes.
Wishing you the best. xx

If he did it in front of others, I think he may just have been goofy.

[CuriousDestruction]

Hard to tell if it was goofy or fishy in my opinion. I highly recommend that you go up to him one on one and tell him you are not comfortable with that and ask him not to do it again. If he does it again or tells you he doesn't care or anything like that, take it to the administration. A teacher should never put hands on a student unless they are totally okay with it.

I agree was prob just goofing off but I would let him know you didn't like it ask him not to do it anymore. if it happens again then definately go to the office and let them know whats going on.

uh, in my opinion it's uh... dodgy....

He was probably just fooling around. If you're uncomfortable then tell him and then if he doesn't stop you can go to someone else.

I'm going to talk to him about it one on one and only report things if he ignores me.

As for teachers that I trust, I'm lucky enough to have quite a few I'm very close to (however there is an equal amount who are very mean)

The problem with reporting things is that last year I had a male art teacher who was flirting and hitting on me making overt sexual comments (like "you look handsome/cute/sexy today" "you look sexy in that shirt", asked if I had a girlfriend and more) one time he was walking toward me like he was going to put his hand on my shoulder (or somewhere worse)
My friend Casey tripped him, lol (she was like "oh, I'm so sorry! " hehe).

Well I decided having a discussion with him saying "you're acting inappropriately" he was like " oh Tom you're so funny"
So I went directly to his boss (the assistant principal of the Art department) and told him what happened. He seemed annoyed but said he'd look into it. Well he got back to me only to admonish me for being "homophobic", which couldn't be further from the truth as I accept all people regardless of their sexuality (except pedophiles/child molesters). I never told my parents as I didn't want him to end up dead.

I ended up failing art.
