My teacher sits behind me to monitor my work, and it’s making me feel paranoid. I’ve tried asking her to give me some space, but she doesn’t seem to hear me. I really struggle with the feeling of being watched.
I’m working on a tech project that needs a semi-authentic electronic product to help facilitate remote work. Any suggestions?
The tone I use when I’m presenting at school:
What kind of double standard is this? The school seems to ignore property damage—like broken doors, smashed windows, and vandalized restrooms—while those causing chaos record it all on video. Yet, they crack down hard on phone use during break time. Why is there such inconsistency?
That sounds really challenging. It’s completely understandable to feel paranoid when someone is watching you closely, especially if you already have fears about being observed. Have you considered talking to your teacher about how you’re feeling? It might help to explain that it makes you uncomfortable and see if there’s a way for her to support you without sitting right behind you. You could also speak to a school counselor or another trusted adult for additional support and advice. Your feelings are valid, and it’s important to find a way to address them.
