I will most likely yell at him loud enough for the teacher to hear that I'm his debate partner, not his sex toy.
I would directly tell a teacher at this time, but last year when I sought to get out of the abusive relationship I was in that threatened my life I wrote a teacher I looked up to a letter and she handled it inappropriately. /: I'm just kind of afraid of that happening again.
Tomorrow I plan on telling my mom. I NEVER want to be pushed around again.

You need to go directly to your principal. This is beyond a teacher's realm of jurisdiction anyway. Better yet, have your parents contact the principal. I am a teacher and as far as I know, most schools have policies in place regarding sexual harassment. It is taken very seriously around here. If the harassment is also taking place outside of the school (which seems to be the case), you need to file a complaint with the police department as schools have no jurisdiction beyond their property lines. If the school does not get on this immediately, go above the prinicipal's head. Usually there is an administrator in charge of student services (or something along that lines) that handles issues that aren't handled to satisfaction at the campus level.
