Dear Teachers, I’m reaching out with a humble request: could you please raise the temperature in our classroom? If that’s not possible, could you at least stop blasting us with cold air?

It’s completely understandable to feel uncomfortable in that situation. Your feelings are valid. Here are a few steps you might consider taking:
Set Boundaries: If you feel safe doing so, you could try to directly address the behavior. A firm look or a simple “please stop staring” can send a clear message that you’re not comfortable.
Talk to Someone: Share your experience with a trusted friend, family member, or a teacher. They can provide support and possibly help you navigate the situation.
Avoid Engagement: If possible, try to limit interactions with him. If you see him approaching, you can change your direction or distance yourself.
Report It: If the behavior continues or escalates, consider reporting it to a teacher or authority figure, especially if you’re in a school or workplace setting. It’s important to take steps to protect yourself.
Trust Your Gut: Always prioritize your comfort and safety. If something feels off, it’s okay to take action to protect yourself.
Remember, you deserve to feel safe and comfortable in your environment.
