I’m a 15 year old girl and I’ve been playing the flute for 6 years now and for all that time my teacher’s been a nice woman in her 40’s. Just recently she decided to quit her job and I got a new teacher, a man in his late 20’s, and he just makes me feel really uncomfortable. I’ve only had two lessons with him but both time we’ve done a breathing exercise to improve my playing. During that exercise he always touches my ”abdomen area” and back to feel if I do it correctly. And the problem is that I don’t know if his like actually trying to help or if he wants to touch me. The second lesson he touched the lower part of my bra and my bra on the back. So that’s just making me uncomfortable. Am I just overreacting?

nope not an overreaction. i had a very very very similar situation to you. im indian so in my school we had yoga classes. and this late 20s-ish yoga teacher would be really touchy, feeling our backs and shoulders, stroking our backs and stuff. and that was never the case with our other older female teacher. but i thought maybe hes just correcting our posture or something..but it still just felt weird. when i spoke to other girls turned out he'd been touching us all and not the boys. there was def something fishy if like half the grade's girls were feeling uncomfortable. he ended up getting sacked. if something makes you uncomfortable it makes you uncomfortable period. just because a touch "isnt sexual" doesnt mean its youre supposed to be okay with it. you should tell your parents or another teacher you trust.
ReplyYou’re not overreacting at all! If some guy did that to me I swear to god the there’s gonna be dirty looks and parents involved. Ur still underage so I doesn’t matter if it’s really to teach or prove a point! I think you should tell someone and don’t be embarrassed or scared that something bad will happen to u, the teacher is at fault for doing it in the first place! 😘
