I am a girl of 16 and I think I am in love with my teacher who is a lot older. Is this just a stupid crush and if so how can I stop thinking about him? We hardly talk anymore and he has never said outright that he likes me, but I read to much into his actions and am now a girl obsessed. Help me.

smartazngirl agony auntYes, it probably is just a little crush. I suggest you get over it before you become emotionally scarred, like I am.

I liked my teacher too... Well, let's say things happened and I still can't get over what happened.

petina1 agony auntThis is so common, pupils in love with teachers. Teachers can be moved to other schools or even lose their jobs over this. It is not professional to enter into a relationship with a pupil at all and not allowed. Your teacher may already have guessed that you have a crush on him and that is why he is keeping his distance. I know a few of my mates who used to like their teachers that way and trust me when they got a bit older they say 'I can't believe I used to fancy him' It must be some kind of pedestal that only teachers are allowed to sit on because it is so common. You must be strong and break away from these feelings you will not get anywhere with them so it is in your best interests to not even go there at all. hope this helps.

Here, take a look at this post, this is an example of how teachers really behave and feel about the situation of students in love...

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/a-student-is-in-love-with-me-how.html

You notice, you don't talk anymore. That's because he is trying not to make this get out of hand. Study hard, pass your exams, that will make him happy. Love means doing hard things sometimes. If you love him, you won't do anything to hurt him or his job, and you'll do things to make him proud.

And here is a good post where students like you give some very good advice on how to deal with the love/obsession feelings... If you check on the Dear Cupid board, you'll find thousands of students that feel the way you do. These feelings usually stop once you finish school.

1) He is your teacher, he's job is to help you get an education so you can get a good job

2) You are a student, your job is to pass exams and learn everything you can

3) He is older than you, he has a life outside school and probably a girlfriend or a wife... This is just he's daytime job, you know nothing about him at all..

4) There can be no relationship between you. Relationships between students and teachers are forbidden. He probably only sees you as one of his students, there will be tons of girls in love with him, and when you move on, there will be another girl crying about him and thinking she's in love.

This is a common hazard of a teaching job. Your infatuated with an older man who helps you and seems nice, when you leave school you'll forget all about it and fall in love with somebody else....

Beybii_Boo agony auntWow! this is quite bad. you do reliese if anything was to happen between you both he would lose his job and not be allowed to work with children again. Also you need to get over it because nothing serious can happen with this relationship - for obvious reasons. You need to act your age and think seriously. You need to move on this is not going to work. Sorry if i seem a bit horrible but im 16 in 2 weeks. If i was your friend i would say what the hell are you thinking. If he has told you he likes you - something not right. A 16 year old and a older man? He shouldnt be thinking this darlin..

Email me if you need any help at all.
