Is it wrong for a teacher to flirt with a 18 yr old student?
My teacher is 27 and Im 18 and he always asks me do I like him if I'm alone with him. I do have a crush on him, but I never tried to do anything with him and I never will. Sometimes I blush when hes around but that's it.If I go to the restroom and Im tardy to class, he will take me to class and he acts weird, he asks weird questions, like he asked me did I love him in front of our class. He will get really close to me and ask me do I love him and if I say no he just says that he loves me. I cant tell if hes serious sometimes or if hes just playing. Sometimes he makes me go in the hall so he can talk to me about nothing that's important. He calls me his girlfriend in front of teachers and students and they just laugh at him because they think hes joking. I don't know if hes playing or what. He'll be in class teaching and put his arm around me. I don't think he'll try to do anything but sometimes he gets close to me and its really uncomfortable, even when I back away. He just stares and smiles at me a lot. Or he'll walk over to my desk and stand there for a while. I'm a pretty strait forward person, so after a while I turn around and ask him what he wants. He'll ask if I need help or something. One time he looked up my schedule and took me out of PE class because I was mad at him and someone told him that I didnt like him, he took me out of class just to ask me if I didnt like him and he looked seriously hurt.
Maybe I'm just overreacting but I just wanted to know what somebody else's opinion was about the situation. Sometimes I just can't tell if hes joking because he knows I have a crush on him or if hes being serious. He has been doing this before I turned 18. Please answer, thanks

you are right to feel uncomfortable. Report him to the school and avoid his room. if you have any classes with him dont go and explain why to your pricipal. If you dont report him he will do this to someone else when your gone. the next person may not be so headstrong and could get hurt. a crush is a crush thats it. blow him off. when he pulls you outta class tell him to leave you alone or you will report him. (do it anyway, but scaring him cold make him stop) when he stands by you for a long amount of time, touches you or hovers tell him to go away and back off. I hope you tell someone about this because its not ok whether its a joke or not. it has to stop. Too many teachers think they can do whatever they want with their students.

This is extremely in appropriate behavior on the part of your teacher. Yes, you are legally an adult at 18 but as your teacher he is in a position of authority over you. This make what he is doing with not just flirting but sexual harassment. It is also against every schools policy for a teacher to have any type of love interest with a student.
Yes you are legally an adult but I doubt the school system will see you as an adult or treat you as one while you are a student. My advice is that you tell your parents what is happening and let them go to the school authorities about this. The teacher should be immediately removed from teaching while they investigate.
What matters the most here is that you MUST speak to your parents and tell them what is happening between you and this teacher. You are not overreacting and I do not believe this is some figment of your imagination. Together you must take action to remove this teacher from your school. If necessary file a complaint with the police.
What you are experiencing from this teacher is not only morally wrong and against every school policy I know of. The sexual harassment of someone that a person has authority over, such as you a student and teacher, is wrong as well under EEOC policy, and possibly criminal action can be taken.

Your teacher is out of line, You are a student. Teacher, Student relationships are not tolerated by the school system and if he ever were to get caught he'd be fired. The school has a strict policy, As a teacher his job is to set an example not to seduce his students. Back off, The next time he makes a comment you report him. That is the smart move, You don't need to be a victim and if you feed into his wrong doing you will be just that. It's creepy, This guys actions are pedophilia, You get uncomfortable because you know it's wrong. Report him to the school and let them handle it
