im in 8th grade.
everybody has a fav. teacher in every grade. but the teacher i think is my fav. i thik i might be a lill obsessed over. i see her as a friend but still as a teacher i tell her almost everything, and sometimes she interested and nice to me and some other days she wont listen to me and tell me im annoying. and once she told me that if she looked at me for too long she would throw up. and im not ugly and she said it in front of the whole class.
i totally see her more as a friend or like an aunt or sumthing.
since she told me i was annoying and insulted should i just leave her alone and treat her like anyother teacher?? it will be like losing a friend thow.

Thats no way to talk to a student, its downright rude and not to mention mean. Teachers are supposed to help you, be your friend, not put you down, and tear you apart.
As for your relationship, after that mishap I would hang back a little bit. Just let her be the teacher, and you be the student. If she apologizes, then I guess you could explain to her that you find her more as an Aunt or an older friend then a teacher, and that you trusted her with what you tell her. Hopefully, she'll understand you somewhat look up to her, and that she's important to you, thus ruining any chances of the insulting again.
Try to keep yourself occupied with friends your own age for a bit. Maybe your teacher just wanted you to realize that she is your teacher, not another gal pal.

While it's important to trust your teachers and be able to communicate openly with them, they're there to insruct and educate you, not be your best friend. If your teacher feels "friendly" enough with you to call you annoying and ugly in front of the whole class, there's a problem. My advice is to let this "friendship" go, as hard as it may be at first. If she continues to talk badly about about you, talk to your parents or principle about the problem. In the end, this will make it much easier for you to learn in her class and make it easier for her to be a professional and teach. Good luck!

If she was saying it in a joking way (I know my history teacher jokes a lot) then you might be fine, otherwise, it sounds like you should talk to an administrator because things like that are not right to be said, especially in middle school. Right now, it seems like, she might be having some of her own issues and i think you should just back off. I know there are some teachers that are amazing to talk to, but she doesn't seem to be one of them. See what happens in the future and then make a final decision, but this just doesn't sound right to me, though i had an abusive teacher in 6th grade, so that could be why.
Hope I helped!
