A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I met my social studies teacher in 6th grade and since that day I've never stopped liking himm. On a personal level him nd I are best of friends on a professional level we're still best of friends and its because we get each other I get him he gets me.now I'm in the eighth grade and me and my teacher are almost as close as me and my best friend are. We talk about my life and we talk about his life personal and school wise. Yeah sometimes we have our issues but we always talk it out and by the next day everythings back to normal.

The thing is sometimes I want it to be more than what it is but I don't want to ruin my relationship with him. I know I don't love him but I like him I find him very attractive and smart and very mature way more mature than the boys in my grade or in any grade in my school (6th through 8th). My teacher is also married and has a son. I've never seen his wife but I've seen his son and he's so cute and whenever my teacher has new pictures of his son he allways shows us the pictures. Sometimes I can be difficult with my teacher and sometimes he's difficult with me but nobodys perfict or can come close to it either. The weirdest thing about my teacher is that he like has super sonic hearing and it bothers me because I have to really whisper around him or watch what I say in fear that he might hear me its actually quite infuriating lolsz. my teacher is amazing he's like superman he's incrediable.

What really makes me happy though is that he puts up with my rude sassy side and that shows true compassion and care which makes me happy and then I'm not so bothered by the fact he won't like me the way I like him. What I think is important though what I know is important is that if I want to keep this friendship with him the same I can never tell him I like like him or we'll never be the same things won't be the same between us. I value our friendship more than I do my feelings for him and that's the important thing to remember and stick by.

I dont think you need to grow up.. ur only 14 for gods sake! lol. I would worry if this guy likes you.. you are far far too young for him to consider you in that way. You are a child, and if he is attracted to you that makes him a paedophile. You say you are not interested in a relationship.. but you are. You are seeking and wanting one, this isnt a vindictive or selfish thing, your far too young to try and comprehend how a relationship between you and him could possibly work with a child and a wife.. etc. etc. Please look after yourself in this situation, if he is interested in you, think danger! You will never have a relationship with this man, he would use you to his ends. There is no equality.

Also-- i think you need to be clearer on what ur actually asking for advice on-

aliyahnangelo agony auntAre you kidding me?? You are an eigth grader and you are thinking of trying to pursue a physical relationship with your teacher, who is also a married man? Ok let me eplain something to you. YOU ARE A CHILD STILL! If a man that age wants a physical relationship with a child, than there is something mentally wrong with him. Maybe you don't get that now but when you grow up, hopefully, you will. Also, he is married. If you had a child with a man and he had an affair with his underaged student, I'm pretty sure you would be pretty upset and also, possibly take his parental rights away because, that would make him mentally ill and unfit to be around minors. He can go to jail if he touches you and it could ruin his family and his life. Just think about that. If you care about a person the last thing you would want to do is ruin their life. Stop trying to act older than you are. Try to enjoy being a kid. If you want a boyfriend find someone your age who won't go to jail for being with you. I'm only 25 and i'm telling you this. It wasn't that long ago when i was your age so i know what i'm saying. Leave that man alone.

If you are a eight grader than I am...mother Theresa. If you really are a eight grader, congratulation! Your writing aptitudes are amazing!Who is your English Teacher? ;)

If all this is not a joke, then take a break. Forget about men that are twenty years older than you and who would go to jail should they put their hands on you. You're going to school to learn, not to learn you're teacher's personal life! Or maybe you are interested in his son?

Uh.. in eighth grade I'm pretty sure if he DID share your feelings it would be illegal. Anyway, he's a married man, teachers can be great friends but becoming more than that can be a complex and dangerous thing. I wouldn't suggest being anything more than friends especially if he's married. Cool your jets for a while. 8th grade is a bit early to be looking for a mature man. You wont find one of those for a loooong time lol.
