Creepy behaviour

[Qwenzo]

My DD (15) is being creeped out by a boy in her class, who won’t stop staring at her. He actively turns around in lessons and just continues staring even when he’s told not to. She has tried telling him not to and her teacher suggested she makes a joke of it but I don’t think this is the answer - why should she make a joke of something to cover up her discomfort?

Can anyone suggest what I can say to school and also give her some strategies to deal with this. She’s becoming very self conscious.

This sounds horrible! This behaviour needs to be dealt with seriously by the teachers. If this boy doesn't learn it's NOT okay to treat people like this then he could end up doing something even worse to another girl later in life.

I also don't think your daughter should have to do anything about the situation directly, often engaging with people who harrass like this actually encourages them to do it more. The school needs to deal with this quickly and effectively.

Can she go directly to the headteacher about it? He obviously needs a good talking too must be horrible for your daughter and make her really uncomfortable

I’d stare right back. Right into his eyes. For as long as it takes, every single time

Ugh. Your poor daughter. Raise it in writing with the school as pp have suggested.

How did it go today?
