How to Handle a Crush on Your Teacher

-
-

Everyone's had one. It's how you deal with it that makes a difference.

Step 1: Don't beat yourself up
Know that your feelings are perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of.

Step 2: Don't tempt fate
Don't flirt with your teacher or confess your crush to them. That will just make things awkward for both of you.

Step 3: Realize it will fade
Realize that your feelings won't be this intense forever. One day you'll probably flip through your yearbook and wonder what you ever saw in your teacher.

Tip
Instead of trying to make your teacher fall in love with you, gain their respect and admiration by working hard in their class.

Step 4: Realize the implications
Realize what your fantasy could cost the teacher if it became a reality: Their job, their career, and possibly their freedom if they're charged with a crime.

Step 5: Don't let them encourage it
If your teacher makes a move on you, do not get involved with them. In fact, you should report them to your parents or the principal immediately.

Did You Know?
Did you know? In the 1999 black comedy Election, a teacher's career is ruined after he becomes involved with a high-school student played by Reese Witherspoon.

The "Did you know" should have been something like "Did you know surveys say that kids who have crushes on their teachers tend to do better in class?"

It's totally true.

It's not bad to have crush on one of your most favorite teacher.
She/he also understands your feeling and they also know that loving teacher and someone else is different.
People usually think LOVING means same in every situation ...but it is not.
When you love your teacher you feel more comfortable and friendly in school.
I have one teacher whom I liked a lot and now also I talk to her every single day. I just love (special)her.

falling in love with my botany teacher. gosh, I seriously cant tell anybody because then they will start reacting whenever he is around and I dont want that.
He gives me some quick glances in class when I am not noticing. He hears every freakin thing I say, though he doesnt listen to my friends. Idk what is happening!
