I'm just 15.. Not in a serious relationship.. But urgghh.. I have this confusing and hurting obsession towards my teacher, who happens to be a woman.

She's aged 40, married..there's no sexual attraction duh..however, I love her so much, like my own mother..and it hurts when she's ignoring me.

I think about her all the time! Omg, I'm not a lesbian am I?

Don't be too concerned about your sexual orientation over this situation. I would look further into your home situation and more specifically your relationship to your parents/care providers. Perhaps she is filling a void you are wanting with a parent. It sound more like a nurturing need, not a sexual desire or what is likely a signal to being a lesbian. Sexual orientation is a complex and ever unfolding area for many, you are way too young to know that for sure yet but this situation is not about that in my opinion. Maybe talk about this with your school counselor. Good Luck.

giddygiddyfreak agony aunthey. just because you admire your teacher doesn't mean your a lesbian. You could just really love her as a teacher...I'm a lesbain and i love this one guy teacher he's amazing but obviously i don't fancy him..! lol. So, nah i don't think you are unless you have a crush on her as if she were male..! You could just love her because she's good to you..? I don't no. But you don't have to be gay to love a woman teacher. Dunno wether it helps..!! xx

You are not bisexual or lesbian, you would know if you were, you would not be interested in boys at all, and you would have sexual urges towards women.

You simply think highly of this woman, she is older, she is your teacher and she cares about you and is there to make you feel good about yourself and motivate you to learn. You want to please her because you like and admire her, this is a great thing, kids need heroes, even if they are teachers who are in their lives to help them to become young adults.

You might be bisexual, attracted to men and women. Accept you have an crush on this woman and try to get over it! One little crush dosen't mean your a lesbian!

Loving other women does not make you a lesbian. Wanting to have sex with women instead of men is what makes a lesbian.

Wait a few years and see how you feel.

Lila agony auntIs your teacher younger,cooler,or more understanding than Mom? Alot of young girls get a "mom crush" on someone who somehow seems better or more easily accessable than their mom. Plus if it's not sexual you are probably not gay. Maybe you could spend time with your mom more.

just-ask-xx agony auntWell, if you're only 15, you won't really know, you might just feel close to her because, as you said, you love her like a mother. And if there isn't any sexual attraction at all? I wouldn't say you love her, well it's not likely anyways :) reply if you want to :) love just-ask-xx
