writes:I miss my teacher. He has been gone for a month and i feel like i lost my best friend. How do i move on from someone who'd been like a father or brother to me? Who had encouraged and almost spent every free available time with me? He almost became my inspiration for doing well and now I feel so empty and unmotivated. I know the logical thing to do is realize that I have to do well for me but i cant. I miss him so much that i feel like ill never look up to someone as much as i did him. Everyday i feel like someone should be here and they arent. So my question is... how do you move on from someone who has almost always been there when no one was? I dont know how to explain it but i need to tell someone how empty i feel so i'll tell you, my agony aunts (uncles). Any suggestions?

 It's sad when teachers get that close to you (they really shouldn't) enough to become your best friend. Whatever he encouraged you to do with your life, go ahead and do it, and send him a thank you note later in life for being your mentor. In order to do this, you might have to ask around to see where he went. Just be cool about doing this, though, and let a couple of years pass before you do it. When you get in a really bad rut, fantasize about what positive things he would say to you at that particular moment, and use it to build yourself up. There's nothing wrong with doing this. I do it all the time. Find some other people who will inspire you and support you. Go on to college; there will be people like that there. You might even find a boyfriend there that will be somebody you can openly share your feelings with. Life is cruel and hard sometimes, but when one door closes another one eventually opens. You won't ever forget him, but there will be others in your life who will also make a big difference as you go after your dreams.Remember he wouldn't want his memory to hold you back. He would want you to go out and accomplish great things because of your friendship together.Go volunteer at a local school. Be to others what he was to you.Good luck reaching your goals, and I hope this advice helped you.

I dont feel it might be appropriate to email or contact him since i did not ask for his information before he left.
