Thank you for contacting Ask Pat.
In your email you express concerns about your teacher’s behavior towards one of your classmates. You state that you can tell that the girl is uncomfortable when he gets too close.
You have a right to talk to an adult about your concerns. That might be a parent, family member or a friend. It sounds like you are very worried about this so you have a right to get support around it.
