If you want to fuck him, reply him.
If you dont want to fuck him, block him.
He is trying to get under your pants.
Look its entirely on you what you want to do in such situation. If you are not feeling safe, you can discuss this situation with your family members. But you need to careful in such situations. Just my 2 cents.
Honestly, this is a little weird. A teacher sliding into your DMs on a personal platform like Instagram is crossing some professional boundaries. Since you’re already ignoring the messages, I’d say keep doing that if you’re not comfortable responding. You don’t owe him a reply. If it keeps happening or starts to feel intrusive, you could mention it to someone in your college administration, like a student advisor or counselor. Boundaries matter, and it’s okay to maintain yours.
I don’t think it’s necessary to reply. Teachers messaging students on social media, especially for non-school stuff, is just not it. Since it’s mostly small talk like “Hi” or “How are you,” it seems like he’s trying to open the door to a conversation. If you don’t feel comfortable, ignoring it is totally valid. If it keeps happening and you’re feeling awkward, you could block him or limit him on Instagram (so he doesn’t even know you’ve seen the message). Your comfort comes first here.
This sounds awkward as heck. It’s not your job to respond to his messages, especially since it’s your personal Instagram and not a school-related channel. Honestly, I’d just let the messages sit there and not engage. If he’s messaging you about things that aren’t related to class or assignments, it’s not really appropriate. If it keeps going or escalates, don’t be afraid to set a boundary like blocking him or reporting it. Trust your gut—it’s probably telling you that this feels off for a reason.
If it were me, I’d feel pretty uneasy about this. Teachers don’t really need to be chatting with students on Instagram unless it’s for school-related stuff. Ignoring him is a good first step, and you’re not doing anything wrong by choosing not to respond. If he doesn’t get the hint and keeps messaging, you could address it more directly by saying something like, “I prefer to keep conversations about school on official platforms like email.” And if it still continues or feels inappropriate, don’t hesitate to report it.
