Feelings for a teacher


Question Posted Friday May 18 2007, 8:40 pm

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. Sometimes I catch him looking at me, & I also understand before a teacher he's a man, but I also get paranoid because he knows embarrassing and/or personal things about me that no one else does...i have problems i know, but It's really not my fault...I'd appreciate the help & concern...Thankz <3

Loving your teacher and knowing that you can't have him will just depress you, as you already know. Therefore, you need to try as hard as you can to take your mind off this teacher, and focus on the things in your life that you enjoy the most. Perhaps a sport, or a club that you regularly attend. Although some age in the 20s and 16 are not TOO far apart, it's the fact that he is your teacher, and that is just not okay. So hunnie, have fun with your life, and smile. (:

Although you have feelings for your teacher -- understand that you can't! Not only is that bad on his part, but it's bad on yours too. You can get this man into tons of trouble & ruin his career. Not only that, but he could be sent to jail if he does anything with you, or if you do anything with him. If anything happens & people find out, your rep will go down the drain. People will think of you as the skanky girl who had an affair with her teacher. I'm not saying you're a skank, but that's how people will look at you if things were to happen. It's alright to think he's gorgeous, but it's wrong to actually love him.

I was very much in love with a teacher at 13, but he was 43... I pretty much forgot about him in a matter of months after the 7th grade year ended. I'm sure that this same thing will happen to you, after you stop seeing this teacher. Trust me. But, at this point in your life he is unattainable because he probably is engaged/married/in a relationship. There's always the chance that, once you're 18 and if you still have these deep feelings for him that you can find him again and maybe he'd call you? or you could call him.

It is perfectly normal to be in love with a teacher. I know everyone goes through it at least once.


He won't want to be considered a pedophile by dating you, i mean, think of the reputation he would have if he was dating a 16-yr-old girl!

He's probably looking at you becuase you're pretty, or because he can tell that you have feelings for him, or because he thinks you're not paying attention. But who knows?

For the time being, involve yourself in something you enjoy- or let yourself fall for someone closer to your age. Then you'll be happy because you'll have a relationship with someone who returns your feelings.


I hope I helped.
