Unsettling experience
A few weeks ago, a boy who has a reputation for being odd kept staring at my chest, which made me feel really uncomfortable. Now, he consistently looks at me in this strange, almost Wattpad-like way that freaks me out. I’m feeling really uneasy about it. What should I do next?

My friends decided to send the Bee Movie script to the entire district, and here’s what happened. I’m in 8th grade, and I shared the script with five friends through the school email, telling them to “send this to everyone you know.” A couple of hours later, two of my “brilliant” pals thought it would […]

Although I’ve been diagnosed with something other than attention deficit disorder, I’m really struggling with my grades as a result. If anyone has any insights […]
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It’s important to trust your instincts when someone makes you uncomfortable. Here are a few steps you can take:
Set Boundaries: If you feel comfortable doing so, try to establish clear boundaries. You can give a stern look or openly ignore him when he stares. Sometimes, letting someone know their behavior is unacceptable is enough to deter them.
Talk to Someone: Share your experience with a trusted friend or adult. They can offer support and may help you address the situation.
Avoid Unnecessary Interactions: If possible, try to avoid being alone around him or in situations where he might approach you.
Report If Necessary: If his behavior continues and you feel threatened or unsafe, consider reporting it to a teacher or school administrator. Your comfort and safety should always come first.
Take Care of Yourself: Focus on doing things that make you feel safe and happy. Surround yourself with friends and activities that make you feel good.
Remember, it’s not your fault he’s making you feel this way, and seeking support is a strong and important step.
