Hi, so just a disclaimer, I AM A MINOR (14) so it is completely up to you if you'll answer this. I want to clarify that I only interact with your and other sfw posts, I'm not rlly comfy with seeing nsfw post since it just makes me feel icky lmao, anyways. ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE, sorry for any wrong spellings, typos or anything incorrect.

So uh another warning, idk where this actually classifies as but to put it in simple, slightly creepy teacher. I think I'll send this to a couple of blogs, but I'm gonna start off with here since I feel most safest here.

So, I have this IT teacher. I know him since, the obvious, he teaches at my school and I was also in coding class in 7th grade, which he was the supervising teacher for that extracurricular.

In 7th grade, back when I was still in my coding class, he called the kids up one by one to sign the attendance paper to make sure the kids were all there (it's just something that my school does) and when it came to me, he asked me questions about why I decided to join, it would've been normal, but the thing is, he only asked me. No other kid in the class which already made me slightly warry of him for that.

He also would would pay more attention to me and my friend in the class (one of the few only girls in the class) and would just check in on us a lot more than he would with the guys.

Another thing is that, when I first went into 7th grade, my sister (who used to go to my school) warned me not to get too close to this IT teacher, since even when she was in school he paid "special attention" to a few kids (specially female).

Another interaction with him that made me have fucking alarms blaring was earlier in 8th grade (the grade I'm in now), we had his class and he came up to my desk, leaned into my ear with a hand on my shoulder, and whispered "you should join coding again this year, it's a good learning opportunity for you", and ofc as the logical person I am, I felt disgusted bcus why did he have to go so close??? (And I ended up joining English club lol).

The most recent one that happened was this one time after school, my parents hadn't picked me up yet, so I was waiting on the second floor of my school near the teachers lounge, playing a game. Now this IT teacher walked pass me, greeted me slightly while asking what I was doing, I told him "playing a game" as he went to the teachers lounge, after that, he came out and walked closer to me and then leaned in too close for comfort towards my face, just to look at my screen and asked what I was playing, then laughed and walked away.

The last two rlly freaked me out bcus he got rlly close, he hasnt done something extreme and just got to close a couple of times, it's not just me that he'd be way to overly comfy to, the whole of 9th and 8th grade basically label him as the "creepy teacher". Idk what I should honestly, everytime I go to school or have his class I always feel scared tbh, and I also can't rlly do bcus it's not liks I can report him. He hasn't done anything extreme and I don't have any prove of anything.

Do you think I'm just over exaggerating this whole thing? I mean he might just a be a lonely or what's ppl to have him as his favorite teacher.

Sorry it's so long, and it's completely fine if you don't wanna answer

I'm glad you're only interacting with specific posts because some of the stuff on Tumblr is definitely not suited for minors. Please never apologize for your English because it's very, very, very good. Hearing that you feel the safest here means the world to me because I've always wanted to create a safe space.

This situation is complex because on one hand, he really isn't committing a crime or anything. However, yes, it definitely is creepy and it feels gross and disgusting. I don't understand why people have a lack of personal space, especially considering that you're a minor.

If your sister warned you, maybe you might feel comfortable bringing this to her attention? You deserve some real life validation for this because it's so gross and unnerving. As an adult, I don't think you should ever put your hands on a child unless they're doing something extreme like physically fighting another student and need to be restrained.

I don't really talk about it, but I have a younger sibling who I basically parent that's around your age. If they came to me and announced a teacher was acting like this around them, I'd be livid. Could it just be an overly-friendly guy? Yes, but this could also be the beginning stages of a potential grooming scenario.

If I were you, I'd stay as far away from him as possible. I don't think you can do that because you mentioned attending his class. Stick tight to your friends and, at least, try not to end up alone with him. I know you can't prevent that like during the time he found you waiting to get home, but if I were you, I'd keep your answers as simple as possible and seem disinterested. Groomers often attempt to try to gain trust from their victims.

It's unfortunate that the school hasn't investigated. If I was in charge and found out that there were rumors of a creepy teacher, I'd investigate that. Maybe you could bring it to the attention of staff members, anonymously? Perhaps an email or anonymous letters of people that have had weird experiences. If there's a teacher you trust and really like, maybe you could start there?

If there are multiple instances of other kids having issues with this man, if he's being creepy and touching them, saying weird things, etc, maybe the school would be forced to investigate if there were multiple complaints.

Whether you choose to try to bring it to their attention or not, it's a very scary and concerning situation. I'm sorry you have to go through that because no child deserves to feel unsafe at school. Please be careful, darling. If it escalates, please, please, please tell an adult that you trust in your life. I can only do so much over the internet because I'm not physically there. Please be safe <3

so like... i realized i think i actually made another friend???????? like we were just venting to each other about how high fees have become in india recently for college for oci card holders and then we were discussing future plans and realized we had quite a lot in common in that department (science research, moving abroad, travelling, etc). our conversations were more directed in that direction but hey it's been two days and our energies do match. it started ystd really when me, my closest friend in class (a), another girl (also a??) who i had talked for hours with on the one field trip where we didn't know anyone else, and herrrr (my new friend(?) r)

and im like wow i just admire these classmates and you know when you feel that sense of belonging when you're sorta huddled up in a group with other classmates and just being chill and vibing with each other... that sense of community yk.. it felt like thattttt. i've been lucky to experience these a couple of times, always in times when school routines are lightly disrupted (usually when school is ending, especially at a time most ppl are leaving) and i talk with ppl i don't usually talk with. being self aware about these interactions makes me think about how im rapidly growing up and the next 1.5(?) years are gonna pass in a blink of an eye and soon im gonna be off to college (hopefully in a dif state tho) and looking back on my school days fondly. while i would never wanna repeat them (i don't think so at least) im gonna be another person being like, 'oh.. back then...' sounds quite absurd now that i think about it cuz only a few years ago when i was much younger i used to think about how silly adults would be when they said that and here i am, just a few years older, still that same girl but with more life experience (*gag* i sound weird). funny how life works smtimes

now here i am, yet again, typing out my thoughts for the entire internet to bear witness instead of picking up my journal and pen

Cass and Steph Top 3 Team ups

Been thinking a lot about teams up I'd want to see for Cassandra Cain. I believe due to how Batgirls is, most of the cool teams up can't happen in that book so these are specific for outside Batgirls. Maybe in Urban Legends idk. Cause I tend to talk Cass I think Steph gets forgotten by me too often so I'm gonna do a top 3 teams ups I'd love to see for Cass and Steph

Cass team ups:

Jessica Cruz - I've wanted a Cass in Space story forever and Jess is my fav Green Lantern (I think she's Yellow now, idk I'm not reading Thorne's GL stuff) and I'd love to see how these two would interact.

Dolphin - Admittedly my only real knowledge of Dolphin is from the Rebirth Aquaman run, but I loved her in that. And also again, I want a Cass in Atlantis story so this seems like a dope time to do that.

Chaos Kitten - This is a new character that caught my eye during Taylor's Suicide Squad run and despite most of those characters getting some sort of depth Taylor did nothing with her. And now she's playing second fiddle to Jon Kent's boyfriend so the odds we get anything more with her is low. I want to know the type of fighter she is, why she fights, who taught her, why is she the way she is, and I think a cool story with Cass could bring a lot of that out.

Steph Team ups:

Zatanna - To me Steph should be seen as resourceful as Batman when it comes to having knowledge about random things within the DCU. First up is Zatanna, I wanna see Steph dabble into the magical realm. I think this would be such a cool thing for Steph to get into.

Supergirl - This is probably the most popular pick in this whole post, but let's be real Steph and Kara together work better than most team ups and they deserve to team up again. I've seen ppl say they should have a World's Finest book and I couldn't agree more.

Talia Al-Ghul - I'm taking this idea directly from DCeased where Tallia has gone off with a recently dead Steph to, most likely, revive her. Now in the main canon Talia seems to be getting a hero turn and is gonna be in Batman's life for a while so I think it'd be cool for Steph to sneak in some Talia time and team up with her. Damian can even be there and we can get the Steph/Damian sibling relationship back.

EXTRA!!! Team ups for the Batgirls:

Wonder Woman - I think the Batgirls NEED a "Batgirls visit Themyscira" story. I would love to see them get training, make friends, and just all in all get out of Gotham and see the world and this is something both of them could use to improve in ways that can surprise Babs and Batman.

Lois Lane - Another story I think would be great. Again a way for the Batgirls to improve in their knowledge that is different. Lois is an investigative reporter, her detective skills might not be Batmanesque but unique perspective on how to read people and see evidence and patterns made her discover the multiverse so she can't be *that* bad. Let the Batgirls learn from her.
