Are they trained to be prepared that some of their students can be attracted to them? Can teachers be attached to their students? Why it's so difficult to see them like us, humans?

1st question: Yes, they can, they can't help it, and they are not supposed to act on it. If they do that is a crime in most countries2nd Question: Possibly. But if not Teachers are adults and should know to just ignore it and it is wrong to show interest back. It is also bad for teachers if kids flirt with them and Teachers can report it if it gets too bad3rd Question: Yes they can, but not in an intimate way. I have many teachers who are my friends, and who I go out with. BUT they are all my gender, and if I were to go with a male teacher anywhere I would bring another FEMALE adultI don't really understand your fourth questionHope I helped!Cheers!

 It's hard for you to see them as humans because you're very young and don't have life experience.To answer your question, yes, teachers most certainly do become attracted to their students and it's of all ages, not just the older ones. And yes, some most certainly do become attached to a particular student but if they are a good teacher and an honorable person they will fight this and not let it intervene with their work.As far as I know, teachers do not undergo much formal training when it comes to dealing with students who have crushes on them. Obviously they are told to discourage it and that under no circumstances should they show that they reciprocate any feelings. However, teachers are trained to deal with being desired simply through experiencing life. As you get older it becomes fairly easy to recognise that someone is attracted to you and even easier to dismiss those feelings and be unaffected by them.
