There's a kid at my school. I'd prefer not to say what grade this is, or where, for the sake of my privacy. He makes weird faces like a kindergartener, he yells in class, he steals pens. He's the kind of guy who eats pencil erasers and sticks the graphite through the top layer of his skin. I catch him trying to flirt with me. He's made physical contact with several people in the three years he's been around. And people tent to group him and I because "Oh, she's about the most patient girl here. I don't want to deal with him." It's not shipping or anything, but for three years I've been getting more and more frustrated. I want to tell him, in a *very* polite and smart-sounding way that he's got problems and he needs to deal with them somewhere else. Please... If he recognizes what I'm telling him he'll probably accuse me of verbal assault.
