writes: I'm the uncle of a 19 yr old girl that is a college student. From childhood, I've been like a best friend to her. However, her recent behaviour's disturbing me. She's apparently head over heels over this prof of hers that is EIGHTEEN years her senior and married. She keeps asking me for tips to impress him. I don't want to report her parents since I don't want to break her trust, but this bothers me. Please tell me how I could whack some sense into her.

 Teh closest you can come to "whacking some sense in to her.." is to tell her that her infatuation is silly, childish and ill-fated.... and that you don't wish to partake of discussing it with her any more....
Good luck....

look it's probably just harmless fun and just a passing crush on her part, so I think you're overreacting. And even if she did try to impress him, so what? let her try, there's nothing wrong with it. it's the professor's responsibility not to behave inappropriately since he is married and in the position of authority.
