She now tries to ignore me and we make way less eye contact than before, when we use to find ourselves staring into each others eyes intensely. I don't know how to act infront of her and there is always some tension between us...Help!! What should i do?

reader, anonymous, writes (7 December 2010): first can i say its totally normal to have feelings about a teacher :) so many people have feelings for their teacher but it cant go anywhere and yes teachers are someimes to blame for these i know from experience how flirty some teachers can be (even married ones) but you ahve to put these feelings aside the best way i found was to remind myself they had a family and how people would see me if a relationship did begin but after a while you'll both act normally and you'll like someone else im not gonna tell you about the whole legal thing im pretty sure you already know it

 Get on with your schoolwork and try to ignore it. The tension is probably her being terrified that she's going to lose her job. And she's right.
Ask to be transferred to another class if you are having problems with this and I think it's a good idea to talk to your parents about this. Parents can be remarkably supportive and helpful, if given half a chance.
Good luck.

 Be mature about this. Wait until you are 18, then talk to her about
your feelings, but keep in mind that she IS married and has a
family. Also think about this too. You are 17 years old, that is still
pretty young. Where do you want to be in 5 years, 10 years, 20?
Do you see yourself with someone like her that far into the future?
There is nothing wrong with having feelings like you are having,
but considering that she is your teacher, married, and has a family
is a lot of reasons not to pursue the matter. Good luck in whatever
you choose.

If your teacher were ever to express romantic feelings for you, she could be arrested and charged with sexual misconduct with a minor, whether or not you consented.
She's doing herself a favor and staying out of trouble. Plus, I'm pretty sure an adult woman does not feel the same way you do about her. Sorry, kid.
Focus on your education, or look at girls your own age.
