Tell your science teacher - dont talk to the helper just your science teacher. It may be difficult, but be mature about it and say you wouldn't come here and say anything unless there was a serious problem and tell him your concerns.

If that doesn't work go to the head of science, and then follow up the ladder. You need to get it sorted before anything may happen - not suggesting anything will, because I wouldn't know what would happen.

Also, about this other boy that likes you. For one that is unrelated to your first question I am assuming. Secondly, it's a bit shallow to say he's not good looking and not someone you would go for, and that you don't want them to get the wrong idea.

Be a bit more authentic, as in, be a bit more stronger about your own character. If you don't mind, and your happy and obviously this other boy is, then you won't be excluded. You only get excluded if you shy away about it and show it is an issue - then they 'pounce on you' and take the oppurtunity to take the p**s.

You could of course, going back to your first question, talk to your parents but if your like me then you probably wouldn't and want to do things on your own - we're similar in age so there isn't that big a situation in the problems that we would face.

I suggest you talk to your parents about it as soon as possible. They can take it up with the school headmaster and or governingbody.

Please do not ignore this, for your own safety and those of other students!

Susan Strict agony auntStart by discussing it with your parents. Tell them exactly what he does, when he does it, and why it's making you uncomfortable.

Take it slowly. Make sure you pick a time when your parents are able to give you their full attention, and make sure they understand your concerns fully.

What you most definitely do NOT do in these circumstances is either to try and discuss it with him OR discuss it with your classmates OR go and make direct accusations UNLESS he actually tries to touch you or anything like that, in which case you go straight to the nearest adult and tell them. It's quite possible that you have misunderstood his actions - and telling your parents of your worries is by far the best move whether you have got it wrong or whether there is something not right with him.

Don't ignore it, and don't make accusations either. Just make sure your parents know and understand.

You need to talk to your parents about this situation and talk with your principal. There is a chance that he is a sexual predator and he has become fully attracted to you. You did the right thing to not pay attention to that helper. Again, you have to talk to your parents and tell them now. They will be with you when you go to the principal and he'll straighten things out.

Uncle Sneaker agony auntIf anyone - him or any other adult - tries to touch you in any way, then go straight to the nearest teacher and report it.

Otherwise, the usual rules apply: Don't get into a car with anyone without your parent's knowledge and permission. Don't go anywhere out of the ordinary with anyone. Don't accept gifts, presents, sweets etc from any adult except family and those close to your family. Etc. You know them.

Other than that ignore it. Focus on your schoolwork. I'm fairly sure you don't have a real problem, and the important word here is "real".

x..BabyGirl..x agony auntFirstly this isn't right. Tell your teacher and tell them everything. Tell them about the staring, the tapping of the shoulder and him saying that he's your favourite teacher.

Do not let him get away with this, I know for a fact that it's absolutely illegal for a teacher to give their students a lift home, so he shouldn't have offered at all.

Tell a teacher and the head teacher, they'll take action and it's likely that you'll never see him again. Also tell your mum as she can then ring the school and make a formal complaint about him and his behaviour.
