"Um, hi...so...this is my first time doing this O////O And I really hope I can get some help...
I'm homeschooled online, but my school has a building you can go to if you cant work at home or if you need help from the teachers. My Chemistry teacher had me come in on Tuesday, so I did. And this guy in my virtual Chemistry class decided to stand over my shoulder and watch everything I was doing and ask me personal questions..." (continued in comments)

(continued from description) "...then he started to go through my bag without asking! He flipped through everything and started asking me random questions like 'So you like TMNT' and 'Do you like to draw'...and theres nothing wrong with that but when it got personal ('Who are you talking to' and 'Do you have social media') then it got weird...I then finally got to go to my tutoring session, but the same guy was in it along with another girl...which is fine! ^o^ (Im glad to see Im not struggling alone!) But the thing is, as soon as I come in, the guy starts asking me questions again (most of which I cant remember and dont care to) but they were personal again. I asked him nicely if he could be quiet so I could finish my quiz but he kept going till the teacher told him to hush. Eventually, the teacher goes 'So you like ninja turtles?' -INNOCENT QUESTION- And I said 'Yes, yes I do. ^o^' ...And all three of them burst out laughing...LOUD." (cont)

"The guy said 'It looks like she has ninja turtle everything!' and they kept laughing. I didnt know what to do so I said 'Yes. You should see my bedroom.' Then they were quiet...but the guy went and started tormenting my little brother, asking him personal questions and saying 'Are you talking to Turtle-Girl?' Q///m///Q I walked over to my brother but the guy was gone when I got there...
I dont know what to do now. Ive been tormented for what I like for years whether it be Japanese songs or TMNT...through middleschool even. I thought this was all over but I guess not, so I need to figure out what to do to get this guy to leave me (AND MY LITTLE BROTHER) alone... Especially my little brother. I told the teacher about this but she told me she wasnt going to do anything about it...plus even she was laughing at me, so Im not surprised.
Please help me...this guy is there every time I go, and I dont want to have to deal with this again...
Thanks QuQ

"PS: Yes, my shirt did have TMNT on it along with my bag and watterbottle. I do collect TMNT, but he took it too far when they started laughing at me for it....and it hurt deep. Especially since this has been happening since 3rd grade, and Im in 11th now. (I should probably just grow up and move on, but this bugs me and it most likely always will.)"

There are many creepy jerks in this world, and there always will be. Don't ignore him--he might take is as a sign that you don't care, which you obviously do. What I would reccomend is to say to him in a calm, responsible tone of voice, "Can you please give me and my brother some space?" If he keeps doing it, then take it to someone higher in status than your teacher, because he needs to STOP. Good luck!

Well knowing almost exactly what you're going through, as I was homeschooled my whole life and did 11-12 online I too needed to go in and do quizes at the school. This guy does sound a bit TOO curious and I would politely ask him to quit bothering me, and if need be put him in his place by firmly to stop or you will report him to whomever you'd report him to. I know my parents would have taken care of anyone who did that to me and then approached my little brother. I say talk to your parents, then they (or you ) talk to the school authorities about him. I know how nerve wracking it is to be homeschooled for your whole life to be dropped straight into a college/school campus.

If this guy is homeschooled, maybe he's lonely and wants to have people to talk to. It's hard for outgoing people who are homeschooled and he may not know where to draw the line about contact or personal boundaries, especially if there are none at his home. So, be firm and direct, meaning look him in the eyes and tell him what you mean. As for the teacher, you just need to be more direct, as in, "This needs to stop." while looking her in the eyes. There's nothing wrong with having interests, even if they're different than others. Everyone is different and that's a good thing because it means that the world has variety, not boring sameness. Imagine if everyone were the same. Lose a friend? It wouldn't matter because they're all the same. In fact, why talk since it'd all be the same? Fortunately we don't live in that world. So, embrace what you like. Also, if you have issues with the teacher, you can go to another school authority, either in person or online and file a complaint.

Try not to be too scared and instead focus on what you're going there for. No matter how you are treated, don't let anyone make you feel ashamed. They're just people, like you, no more or less important.
