O. My. God. I don't know what the hell to do! I'm 13f and I just discovered I like my teacher (he's a guy). This is sooooooooooo embarassing! And he senses it, too, which is even worse. Because every time I see him I blush and I can't make direct eye contact. I should not be liking him. What can I do to NOT like him? How can I control blushing?
karenR answered Wednesday August 24 2005, 6:30 pm: Its natural to have a crush on a teacher. I don't know many girls who haven't had one at one time or another. Its normal. Nothing will come of it and it will fade away soon. I don't think much can be done about the blushing. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
HyperactiveMiss answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 7:42 pm: I'm sure lots of girls (and guys) have been there. Liking an old person old enough to be your parent or grandparent? EWWW. But nevertheless you still have a crush on them anyway! Weird how that works.
Just don't worry about it. Even if this year turns out to be the most embarrassing ever...guess what? Next year will be a new year and you will have new teachers.
I'm sure your teacher understands, and is maybe even flattered. I'm pretty sure he won't try to embarrass you about it.
Just remind yourself he's old. He's a teacher. And you both have waaay different lives. I think the best way to deal with this is to look him in the eye. Don't avoid him. Don't have any thoughts about crushing on him. Just think of it as "Oh. There's my teacher." Then you can concentrate on something else or concentrate on your teacher's bad traits. I hope this works for you! [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]

Althea_the_sexy_Beast answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 3:40 pm: WOW. And I thought that this only happened on lifetime soaps.. but here we go...
You can't control who you like at what time or where. So your just going to have to persevere. Dont let your teacher distract you. When he's teaching concentrate on your notes and whats on the board and try to ignore him (obviously not what hes saying, but his presence). When he walks by, look into your notebook. This a good way to perservere through this.
There are no real ways to STOP liking a person, you can't control how you feel. However, there are ways of yeilding your feelings. So in class if you do look at him try your best to find the least attractive feature about him. His clothes, a mole, hair cut.. anything even imagine up something like nose hair or a lot of ear wax and if youre not in love with him, this will probably help you to tone down how you feel.
The only other way I can think of to help this problem is to try placing your feelings with someone else closer to your age and focus on being with them. It is perferable that they be in your class so that you can focus on them and not the teacher. Eventually (hopefully) the liking for your teacher will fade and your feelings for this other boy will increase.
Just remember to focus on your studies and getting a good grade- that is most important.
