teacher love


Question Posted Wednesday May 30 2007, 2:56 pm

my friend has feelings for her female teacher, it is definately not me. but my friend has been coming to me for advice and i dont really know what to say to her. her teacher is more like a close friend. she gives her lifts home and they talk outside of school hours. my friend recently tried to commit suicide and the teacher was there for her then. but she still feels low and confused because of the age difference and the whole situation. any ideas what i can say to her? thanks

I wouldn't suggest having a relationship with a teacher, it's a very risky subject- there have been kid's at my school who have& the teacher was fired& senteced to 8 years in prision.

I personally think that a 1O year age difference isn't bad, I mean my boyfriend& I have 3 years& my dad& step-mom have 1O.
But pursuing it wouldn't be good because the fact that she could get in trouble.

If they both want to wait until she's 16& consent to having a relationship with a adult then that's fine.

True love is blind, it does not see age/race or gender.

From an adult point of view noting will ever come of this relationship and if it does the teacher would be very very wrong and it will end up being a really big mess. The best thing for your friend would be to seek some professional help perhaps a school guidance counselor or another adult that she feels comfortable with. I really hope she does because trying suicide is not good. Perhaps she is looking for an adult role model and that is where the attraction for the teacher is coming from.

Well, I think you need to tell your friend to back off. In a gentler way, of course.

It seems like the teacher is just trying to go above and beyond and be a good friend, NOT be a boyfriend.

The thing is, nothing could ever happen between these two, until your friend turns 18. It's completely illegal for them to have any form of relationship, even if they're not sleeping together. On another note, does she really want to bring that stigma to herself AND to the teacher, and risk him losing his job and reputation? I don't think so.

If she cares about this teacher, then she will value his reputation and let him live his life, without a romantic relationship with a student.
