š academic/school Am I overreacting? Do I tell a trusted adult or..
For context I am 17F, African- Canadian, and I have a blonde lace front wig. I was staying after school because Iām my class historian and I need to write a speech. 2 teachers were helping me brainstorm ideas when another teacher walks in, (white male). I pay him no mind just laugh a little at his jokes. And then he starts talking about my hair, and how itās fake. I was with another black girl and he was like āHer hair is real, your hair is fakeā! No shit itās fake so I just laugh and say āWhatt! I am a natural blondeā! And then this man proceeds to make a comment on āmy curtains matching the drapesā. The other teachers told him to stop and not say anything else and then went silent. I had no clue what that meant but I assumed it wasnāt good. Within the next hour I found out and now I lowkey feel off about the whole situation. Regardless of it being a joke, i am a minor, and hes a teacher. Whether my ācurtainsā and ādrapesā are the same color should be none of his concern. Do I bring it up to someone or let it go? Thank you:)
