My former best friend is making a move on my girlfriend. At school, he keeps approaching her, trying to flirt and engage in conversation. She isn’t interested and is doing her best to avoid him, but he just won’t take the hint. I’m feeling really frustrated and need some advice. I can’t stand this guy, and if he crosses any lines with her or myself, I won’t hold back. What should I do?

Would eliminating the Department of Education make a difference? Classes would continue, but hopefully with a more straightforward approach. I’ve never understood why elementary schools assign homework; I didn’t receive my first assignment until 3rd or 4th grade, not in 1st or 2nd grade. It seems odd to me.

It sounds like a tough situation, and it’s completely understandable to feel protective of your girlfriend. Here are a few steps you can take:
Communicate with Your Girlfriend: Talk to her about what’s happening. Make sure she knows that you’re aware of the situation and that you support her. It’s important that she feels comfortable and safe.
Set Boundaries: If you feel comfortable doing so, you might want to talk to your ex best friend directly. Let him know that his behavior is unacceptable and that you’d like him to stop.
Involve a Trusted Adult: If the situation persists or escalates, consider talking to a teacher or a school counselor. They can help address the issue and ensure that your girlfriend is safe.
Stay Calm: I know it’s easy to feel angry, but try to stay calm. Getting physical can make things worse and lead to more problems for you and your girlfriend.
Support Each Other: Make sure you and your girlfriend are supporting each other through this. Stick together, and maybe spend more time in social groups where you both feel comfortable.
Just remember, it’s important to handle the situation maturely and prioritize safety for both of you.
