started when me and my friend drew caricatures of our teacher. I was showing them to someone when he came over, so I hid them in my agenda. He kept asking to see them, but I said no. After that, he started acting differently toward me.
• He constantly brings up the drawings, even saying things like “If your friend forgets her materials again, I’ll check your agenda.” He once said he’d check it if I ever asked to use the restroom.
• One time, he said no when I asked to go, using the excuse that I’m in a bad-behavior class. But then he let me go anyway and, while writing in my agenda, asked if I’d show him the drawings at the end of the year. I said “mhmm,” and he replied, “I want words.” He said the same thing when I got my college acceptance.
• He jokes during exams, like saying I might’ve written answers in my henna or calculator. He once typed “666” in mine and left it on my desk.
• He writes hints on my exams and in my notebook, and always asks if I’ve finished my notes.
• He teases me about random things — like asking if my cup has water or coffee.
• One time I gave him a polite smile in the hallway, and now he stares at me a lot. Once, while I was tying my shoes, I noticed him watching me and shrugging.
• He also changed the class seating and put me at the front, right in front of his desk. When my friend and I panicked about being separated, he said we’d be together, then told me, “I’m choosing where I put you. Sorry, not sorry. If you had a better class, I’d let you choose.”
• He also stays behind me a lot in class, even when there’s space, and always walks behind my seat.
• My friend teases me that he “likes me,” but I’m honestly just confused. I was just being polite, and now he’s very focused on me.
Is this normal teacher behavior or is it something more? I’m not uncomfortable, I just want to understand why he’s acting like this.
