Is it normal to love an older female teacher?
Hey so yes this is bona fide kid writing about a so called "teacher crush" Ok so I like this teacher like a mother, she's so wonderful and despite being over 30 years older we are so similar. Maybe my bias but she did say I'm a lot like her. I've known her for over two years and under her tuteledge we've both been through a LOT. A student died, my friend got pregnant, my mom nearly died, the teacher got in a car accident and in between all of this were weekly club meetings where I saw her or her class (had her once, then another lady, then her again). The stress of everything got to me and she was the only one to calm me down. For lack of a better word, I'm obsessed. I read every single thing she posts on facebook, I glean any new info about her from my friends, I purposely walk by her class etc. She means so much to me and she even told me that there's always that one student that really makes her year worthwhile. What to do..what to do? Similar stories, suggestions, is this normal or do I have psychological issues?
