I know it's wrong to fall in love with your teacher, but I mean, I can't help my heart can I? Recently I've caught a lot of feelings for one of my teachers, who is by the way only in his early or mid 20's (i'm 16). I tried to make myself not like him, but as days go by and I have to see him everyday, there's nothing I can do except like him even more. It's getting to the serious point where, I think about him almost all day and at times I get really depressed just for the simple fact that I know I'll never have him. Plus, he's one of these strict teachers who is very conscious that he is handsome, so he keeps a barrier btw him & his students, which only makes him less attainable....i have problems i know, but It's really not my fault...I'd appreciate the help & concern...</3
Having feelings for a teacher is something that happens to many so don't think you are weird or anything like that because you're the only one it has happen to. It's perfectly normal for it to happen and I'm notreally sure why it does. My only real concern is that it turn from a crush into an obsession.
You are right with it never going anywhere and him being as strict as he is, it's proabably because he knows it could put his career in risk to become involved with one of his students (although at this point for all you know he may have a girlfriend or a wife - who knows).
I think you need torealise this and although you can't change how you feel about him because as you said you can't control who you fall for, you shouldn't lock everything else out of your life because of it. For starters depression can be a very dangerous thing so you need to avoid that as best you can. Go out with friends, meet other people - you never know, you may even find someone else who is equally as good looking and such (there's always someone better out there). You already seem to have accepted that nothing will come of this so all you need to really do now is get over it which is a very hard thing to do and it will just take time. :[ So give yourself time to do so but as I said, in the process don't completelylock yourself out.
