A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

You all are probably so bored of hearing this topic!

I am in love with my teacher!

But before you Scream out in anger, its not in the way you think.

A teacher at my school who has been here for about a year and a half maybe two years, taught me maths last year. Since then he's "adopted me" in school as his daughter, I call him Dad. Its awesome. I genuinely love him as a member of my own family. He has two young children and I have met them in school and looked after them whilst he had been teaching, I even fetched him lunch for a few weeks because he gave me ten pounds and I had to pay him back somehow so i bought him lunch. I just feel like I have a great family now, we have so much fun and always have the best jokes. Nothing happens between the two of use we genuinely are like family, he has only hugged me once because he is professional unlike some other teachers mentioned on here.

The only thing is, he said he is moving to a school closer to him, and I'm worried when he's gone I'll be sad, he was already off for about 4 weeks with an injury and people told me he had already left, when i saw him the other day i realised how much i missed him. What can I do to make sure the time I have left with him is happy and when he goes I am still happy???

Extra info- if needed- I'm 15, he's in his early 30's. I do not have any sexual feelings towards him. He does not act like he fancies me. Just to clear the water.

Laura1318 agony auntThis teacher is an extension of your father's personality and that's why you have such close rapport with him.

Friends come and go in our life. Those who are good will leave footprints in our heart.

Enjoy each day as it comes and leave as much memory as you can of those happy days and days that you spend together.

When the time comes to bid goodbye, you will not feel sad anymore as your mind is filled with all those sweet memories of him.

It is absolutely normal to admire an authority figure in a father-like way, especially a male teacher whom you are around quite frequently. You said you have no sexual feelings for him, which is definitely a positive foot forward.

Don't let the knowing he is leaving ruin the time you have left with him. explain to him that you will be deeply upset when he leaves, and possibly suggest meeting for lunch one day. you can also email him and keep in touch virtually. Make sure you make your point very clear so he doesn't think you are sexually interested in him. I'm sure everything will work out... don't be too distressed!!
