My teacher was very pleased with my exam results ?
My teacher was very pleased with my exam results.
If I use "be pleased with", I mean "pleased with a person". for example, I am pleased with John who is good at studying.
So, should I use "pleased about or for" instead of " Pleased with" in the first sentence? That means:
A. My teacher was very pleased about my exam results.
B. My teacher was very pleased for my exam results.
