(21,431 posts)when I was in 7th grade. I turned around to confront the boy behind me who did it and the (male) teacher reprimanded ME for being out of line. So it happened a few more times because the boys felt free to do it. When I reacted to it again, the teacher sent me to the counselor's office with a note that said I was "incorrigible" and was acting inappropriately with boys in class, as if I had led them on.
Fortunately for me, the counselor's cousin was a social studies teacher at the school, whose kids I babysat for, so I knew him. (All in my neighborhood, which was 2 blocks from the school.) He asked what the problem was and I was too embarrassed at first to say. When I did tell him, he asked which boys were the problem. The main one was also from my neighborhood. The counselor said he would take care of it. Don't know exactly what he did, but I think he spoke to the kid or his parents because it stopped aftet that.
