I really like my history teacher. We talk sometimes and he always looks at me in class and barely makes eye contact with some students. He even looks at me while I'm working on something. I really like him. Is this normal?
I agree with Pooltoy it depends on the difference in your age. I know when I was in school, I had crushes on several of my teachers, but I don't believe they felt the same you might think he has a thing for you when in actuality, he don't.
I had an english teacher (college) who I wondered if he had some kind of crush on me, whenever we had a minute to talk he would shy away from me, it was like he never wanted me to know, but I could tell. Even on the last day of school he put up his address and number and told us we could come by his beach house anytime, and he particularly looked at me, but of course I wasn't interested, he had to have been atleast 40 years old!!!
If you have a crush on him, wait until you finish your class before you flirt with him. He will almost certainly be flattered. However, wait until you are 18 before you even think about making love to him. It is probably legal for him to hold your hand, hug you, and kiss you before you are 18, but anything more than that would be illegal, and he might have to register for the rest of his life as a sex offender, even if you take the initiative.
Hold up, see this is a case of double standard. You can't pin this all on the teenager, even if she does flirt with him and seduce him in an innocent fashion. He is the adult, she is the child, it is he who chooses what decisions should be made in a mature manner and if he fails to choose the right path, he then screwed his own life, not her.
He'd both screw his life up and screw her. Plus if she's 18 then it's legal. The teacher does have a choice in it and he shouldn't do anything until she's 18, but after that it's completely alright.
I'm saying hypothetically if he was to have sex with her while she is underage that it is not her fault, and he should be held accountable, and not her, because he is supposed to be the responsible adult.
but then again, he isn't the writing this post, she is.
In my opinion, it's bad advice to tell a young person that they aren't responsible for their actions, and to depend on others, even "adults" to do the right thing.
As the saying goes - "if not you, who?..."
Ok, again, sermon over, leave the donation in the tin can.
Yeah however old this poster she is old enough to make the decision for herself. If the guy doesnt want to fuck her anyway, then oh well, itd be kinda awkward.
agreed, since she is essentially asking for advice and so has some awareness in this matter.
the "awkwardness" that might occur in the event that the teacher doesn't want to fuck her is probably the most trivial problem arising from this situation, though. LOL.
umm.. i guess it depends on how old you are if you want to be in a relationship with him..
i mean if your like 13-17 then thats just fuckin creepy obviously hes a pervert..but if your in college and whatnot then i guess thats fine?..hey you'll an A ha
NO if shes in elementary-7th grade, its a problem. But after that shes old enough to make her own mind up on what she wants, its just hopin the teacher feels the same way.
Nah, she wants to get laid and if the guy does too then good for both of them. If the guy doesn't it would be REALLY awkward, and embarrassing, and Id have to do the awkward turtle thing.
If she is old enough to realize there could be a problem here then she is old enough to know what she wants. If she has sex with her teacher then they should both be held responsible not just the teacher.
I'm not saying she shouldn't be responsible for her own actions, I'm just saying most people blame the child instead of the adult, kind of like you know it's "always" the woman's fault if she gets raped. Even if they do have to register as a sex offender I don't care, adults have to think of the consequence of their actions, and they never think would they want som freak trying to screw them at 12? "The girl lied and said she was 18" is the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Most of the time the adult is the one who seduces them first so I say if the child doesn't make the first move then it is entirely the adult's fault.
i see your point, and i'm sure the scenario you describe is common. It was probably more common in the past, and is probably more common in rural areas, but I know it is still prevailant.
but in this case, the poster is obviously interested in pursuing the relationship. I don't even think in terms of fault or blame here, but more in terms of a stupid kid getting into a bad situation because she isn't thinking about consequence.
think about those girls who beat up the other girl on video in florida a few months back.
they were more than stupid, of course, they were mean and, in my opinion, deserve what came or will come to them. but what also strikes you is how oblivious they were to consequences. They committed felony assault, filmed it, planned on putting it on youtube, and it never occured to them they would get in serious trouble for any of it!
That's the kind of thinking I'm addressing. In that case, many people excused the girls actions because they were just "kids". But does being young excuse you from all responsibility? What if an adult had goaded those girls(in Florida) into committing the beating? would it have made them less responsible?
I see what you are saying, and you are right. I remember watching part of that video, and I could not believe what they did to her, I hope all those girls get sent to jail for 10 years or more.
I remember when I was a teen and when men would try to hit on me sometimes their friends would leave, and I would think wow they are smart to try to avoid temptation.
I doubt this teacher even thinks of her that way anyway, it's just an innocent school girl crush.
It doesnt matter if an adult told anyone to do something, if you do a crime you get punished no matter who told you to do it, sure the adult should get punished too for telling them to do something, but most of the punishment should be on whoever commits the crime.
uhhh yea they kept hitting her in her face, and she cried and begged them to just let her leave. As I watched I thought why didn't she just try to get out of the door? I suppose they would have stopped her either way, one of the girls kept saying watch out for her mother's china cabinet, she cared more about a fucking cabinet instead of a human life, it was awful.
In the end the victim lost hearing in one of her ears and vision in one of her eyes so it was pretty brutal. I think the main girl who kept hitting her over and over again is still awaiting trial, I hope to find out what happens to that bitch!
Ouch, I just watched the vid, it was a news one though so censored and not full, plus commentary, but it looked pretty brutal and apparently before the video started they rammed her head into a wall then she lost consciousness and then the people moved her somewhere and started the video.
Really? Is that what the article said or what you think might have happened? If I was the judge I would sentence her to 20 years and I would make the charge a felony that would never be cleared even though she is a minor, infact I would do it to all of those girls. Never in my short life have I ever heard of people doing this to someone without the intention to kill, but to just get famous on a website? People are crazy, I thought we had to look out for all the weirdos who try to steal our kids, now we have to look at for the kids too.
Thats what the article said. He was like "Just before this video was made the teens slammed the girls head into a wall, she then lost consciousness and woke later on the sofa, where they started hitting her and filmed it."
Sometimes the eye for an eye works. Like not the whole "you strike your father your hand gets cut off" but "if you beat the shit out of someone and deafen them in one ear and blind in one eye, then the shit will be kicked out of you and at least be deafened in one ear and blinded in one eye, maybe even completely deaf or completely blind." I think that would work.
Also 2 guys were on guard outside and the girl did go to the door but the main bitch was like "Oh no your not going anywhere" and apparently the victim pissed them off on myspace and was actually expecting a fight, but a fair fight not them doing that.
I wuldnt kill them, if I don't think the courts would punish them enough I'd find them myself and cut out their eyes. Maybe deafen them too. Depends what they do.
I've seen a lot of violence, in real life growing up in nyc and newark new jersey.
But I found that florida teen beating video and that whole story really disturbing. And I usually like watching girls fight.
What is it about that video and that whole story that riles you up so much and makes you hope those girls get the book thrown at them? I mean, i feel that way too, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that.
Okay, maybe my wording was a bit harsh but I was just really upset after I watched the video. I myself have seen a lot of violence too.
However, it's the fact that she was basically defenseless and overwhelmed that really made me so mad. If it was a fair fight I would have felt differently.
Now, that I've cooled down a bit I've changed my view a bit. These kids need to have the book thrown at them. Because they took her away against her will, I hope they really fuck them on the kidnapping charge. If I'm not mistaken they can put you away for a while with that.
I'm also hoping the girl's parents sue the shit out of the other kids' families.
She said on the video I watched "I thought you wanted a real fight" so she was expecting a fight to break out because apparently she pissed them off, though I didn't hear how, they said something about one of her comments still being up on myspace, thats all I heard from that.
But she did try to leave and beg them to stop, after they knocked her out and attacked her straight after she became conscious which isn't really a fair fight, and those bitches refused to stop hitting her.
Main cunt should lose an eye, for the eye she destroyed, an ear, same for the ear, then jail time for kidnap and severe emotional pain. Sound fair? if not then kidnap and rape her for the emotional pain. Whatever happens it should be worse than what she did to the girl.
All the other people- Jail time for helping to kidnap her and stuff like that.
Anything that will cause as much or more emotional pain that what she caused plus all physical pains that she caused. I believe in an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, only that part of Hammurabi's Code though. Plus if it stays with you for a long time then you do even more like, if you punch me I then can punch you equally as hard, thats the end of it, but if you blind and deafen me your punishment shall be being blind deafened plus an extra punishment, anything really.
I remember seeing something on that where the main cunt asked to be allowed to go to "sunday school" I assume she is either in juvenile hall, or on house arrest. Obviously her lawyer gave her the idea to make her look like she was trying to be a "better" person. No word on the case lately, I hope they put out the info soon.
Maybe your just imagining things. Not to ruin anything for you, just that it is rare for that to happen; i mean, your his student!! A couple of things to consider:
1. Maybe get your friend to observe your teacher's behavior once in class. She or he will tell you if this is actually happening.
2. Your age. that is a big deal in this situation.
3. Also, you are in slight danger. If you end up strongly falling for this teacher, and it ends up effecting your grade s in his class, or becoming obsessive about him, everyone around you will start to drift away from you,, thinking your weird, and especially your friends, they will get tired of it.
Good Luck!
No decent teacher would ever let something like that get in the way of his job, and I say this as a teacher. You're probably imagining it because you like him.
Yes it is normal love is found in strange places sometimes. You should show your feeling to your teacher, as it would get it off your chest and you would feel better about the situation.
And could let him know you feel the same way. It could be the blossom of a beautiful budding relationship. To break the ice tell him you want to talk about his favorite president.
It is okay to like him. A lot of people have experienced that during their school years.
As long as you don't go off with the teacher and do things you shouldn't be doing, then your fine.
basically it's like this....even if you're 18, you shouldn't do anything w/ your teacher until they're not your teacher anymore or in the same school you attend anymore because they can & will lose their jobs. it's true that you can't pin it all on the student, but both people would screw everything up. it always takes two people, doesn't it? recently an awesome teacher from my school was fired for a teacher/student relationship. you never think it can happen at your school, but it does.
Barnum---> hahaa no it's not creepy, he's flattered and hell might be interested. and even if she's underage and he IS interested, it still may not be creepy because she could be very mature (not just physically =P )
OP--->
It's so normal it's laughable. I've fallen for half a dozen teacher hahaa it's a thing of convenience, you see them nearly daily, they are older than the other guys your around, (big one for me, I'm very mature, and dig older guys hahaa) and hot damn sometimes they either are adorable, or have killer personalities, or better yet, both!
But seriously, even if he IS interested, experience has taught me don't get your hopes up.
Under 18: yes it's legal to hold your hand maybe even kiss you (depends on school's policies) but don't count on it. He's more worried about his rep and future careers than being interested in a student, no matter how lovely or mature.
Over 18: Slightly more likely, but don't hope for anything real. It happens, I've seen it happen twice. But rarely.
So go ahead, shake yer tush, flirt away, and smile when you think of him, but don't get our hopes up for anything real. Just enjoy the looks of lust! [[what I do]]
Totally normal for you to like him. Don't sweat it. As for him liking you it depends on how old you are. If you are 16/17/18 then naturally he might be attracted to you, it's biology and he can't help it. However what he musn't do it act on it. Not only is that immoral (I don't think its strictly illegal, not here in the UK) and not only could he (and should) be told to leave your school but it messes up the whole ethos of schools.
So as long as your not really young and you both just think about it then fair enough I reckon.
Crushing on some teacher was all I did through high school! It's totally normal. Like everyone else is saying, it's perfectly fine to admire from a distance, but don't try to actually initiate anything. Yes, it's possible that he may be attracted to you because you're a young woman and men are men, but it would be unspeakably inappropriate for him to act on this. So admire from a distance but remember that that's all it can be.
