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?
Title: Is Our School’s New Bathroom Policy Even Legal? A Student’s Perspective As a junior in high school in southern Washington state, I recently found myself grappling with a new bathroom policy that seems more absurd than reasonable.

I’m looking for assistance with my engineering class. Does anyone have the sheet or paper that our instructor is using for the plan? I need it for measurements and to understand how to apply it. Thanks!
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.
