writes:Ok I have this friend. She wanted to play a harmless joke on some of the teachers at my school. So before christmas break she left different male teachers candy canes in their lockers asking were they naughty or nice? It was funny at first but now as I think of it I really think that those teachers were probably creeped out by it or embarrassed. I don't know, it was just a joke and she dosen't feel anything towards them. So my question is becasue of what she did, do you think the teachers will feel awkward towards her now or will she be reported to our Dean?

 Na dont worry about it. Its Christmas, they will know its just a joke, and if they were mad, they have had the christmas holidays to cool off and I doubt they will bother reporting it. Dont worry! :) xox

I think its important to know that you and her are your own people. She wanted to play the joke, not you and if she does not feel bad for what she has done, then you most certainly should not. Of course, you could frown upon her immaturity and talk to her about it. However, in her mind it was just a harmless joke and I'm sure as time goes on it will blow over. I am an assistant teacher and if one of my male students left me a candy cane like that, it would have definitely given me a few chuckles, however, I wouldn't have reported it. Then again though, it depends on the person.
Your friend did it, and I highly doubt she will get caught of reported to the dean, especially if it was anonymous.
Some situations are meant to be funny and laughed about, may be cruel to some, but to the doer it could just be another silly day for them.
Don't sweat it and most certainly do not lose sleep over it. It was just a joke, a harmless joke.

 I personally don't think it's a big deal, but I don't know how strict your school is. Chances are, if anything does happen, she'll probably just be scolded and have to apologize. However, her chances of not being reprimanded would have been a lot better had she sent the female staff something funny as well. I wouldn't worry about it.
