writes: I used to student teach at a local high school. While there, i fell head over heels for a junior (now an upcoming senior) in one of my classes. Over the past month, after my internship finished, i found myself falling more and more for her, and i found her on one of the social networking sites. I really want to talk to her, so i could see if she harbors similar feelings. On a side note, i am religious, and taking advantage of her sexually goes against everything i stand for. Would it be wrong of me to contact her, considering my position as a teacher/adult in her life? Thank you Reworded for approval. Reply to this Question Share |

If you have to ask this question you are in the wrong profession. No one, who is a position of authority over a child should be allowed to teach.
Stay away from her. You stand to break the law and hurt an innocent young person in the process.

What are you crazy! She is too young to even be considered for a relationship. I don't care what religion you are. You will be costing your career that you have worked so hard for. Don't make that mistake. She is not worth it.

Here in England, a teacher has just been jailed for 5 years for running off with a student. I think it's inappropriate for you to make contact with her because it breaks teaching codes and could cost you your career and much more.
Saying you don't want to be sexual with her is naive. You are 'head over heels' for her and are pursuing her through social networking, sexual contact is a natural progression and if you cannot distinguish the boundaries between a student/teacher relationship, I doubt you could distinguish the difference between befriending a young girl and wanting to have sex with her.
You may be fooling yourself...but to me, it's clear you won't fool anyone else.
