I need help and advice
My friend saw my gym teacher taking pictures of her and my chests. Mind you i am in 7th grade and a girl. We told a teacher but he said there’s not much he can do.
when i said i wanted a more exiting life this isn’t what i meant!!!!!

I'm sorry that this happened and I honestly cannot understand why another teacher would say there's nothing they can do.
This is not acceptable.
Tell the principal and get it documented at the very least 🩷

First, a gym teacher taking pictures of you and your friend's chests is wrong. It's not normal. Not harmless. You shouldn't just "deal with" it.
It was right to tell a teacher. What you've done makes me proud.
If the teacher said “not much he can do,” go higher. Incredibly serious. You should:
- Inform your parents immediately.
- Inform the principal.
- Tell the school counselor if you feel safe.
- If needed, have an adult call the school district.
A staff member who sexually photographs students' bodies must be investigated. Schools must take this seriously. You are in 7th grade. You're a juvenile. Adults should protect you, not ignore you.
I must also stress that if you feel unsafe, call or text 988 (in the U.S.) for help or notify a trusted adult. Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger.
What about your last line? I realize you were probably joking because this is overwhelming. That’s normal. Neither drama nor “excitement.” This boundary violation needs to be addressed.
- Your reaction is understandable.
- You are not being dramatic.
- You're right to say something.

@JerseyGirl55305 thank you so much. about the last line, it was a joke because my life was super boring, and some people make jokes to deal with stuff I’m one of those people.
