  Case: Inappropriate behaviors
There is a student who is going around telling other students that I am his girlfriend. It makes me uncomfortable teaching him, what should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
How old is the student? If elementary, the student may be naive and not know any better...still, it shouldn't be ignored. Contact administration or a counselor to help explain to the student why this is not acceptable.

If high school, Contact administration before talking directly with the student. The student may take the chance to all but deny it, or make up a story (if he's telling students this already). Try to schedule a conference with yourself and other admin along with the student to explain the situation. You may also want to contact the student's parents. This sounds like a 0-tolerance situation. It should not be handled lightly, or simply between the student and teacher.

Comments: it does not matter how big or old the student is. The point that the student says you are his girlfriend, that needs to end regardless how old.
