Student/Teacher relationship

[jessie3]

Is it wrong for me ( A student) to date a teacher from another school district?

We haven't gone out on a date yet but we are just talking right now. Getting to know each other a little more. He's a really nice guy. He teaches one of my favorite subjects and we have alot of things in common.

It's kinda wrong, and possibly illegal. I wouldn't suggest you continue with it. But being friends is ok. It's not really a good idea to date a teacher.

[CosmicNoodle]

Yes, very wrong, and likely illegal, don't do it, obviously.

[Melodic]

It already stands that it's illegal and it's a high chance his morals are probably wrong. I'd get out of that as quickly as you can.

[Cognizant]

I don't really feel that the relationship you want to have is very appropriate. If caught he could easily be arrested and never be allowed to teach again.

This.

Who knows what ulterior motives he has.

Plus, if he was caught he could lose his job and never teach again.

[fast8]

Yea it's illegal

[SethfromMI]

it is illegal and as Vulkan says he could lose his job as a teacher forever if caught. possibly end up on the sex offenders list depending how far he went

[Lost in the Echo]

To be honest, that is extremely weird that he has interest in you to begin with. You should be very leery of him. I'd highly suggest just staying away from him completely, though.

Doesn't it just seem a little sketchy that he, a teacher, has interest in you, an underage student?
Seriously, nothing good can come of this.

[James Dean]

In my opinion it would be. It's fine to have crushes and things of that sort, but I worry about your safety in this situation buddy. I would probably stay far away from opening yourself up to this. :(

1.) age gaps are trouble
2.) age gaps are even more trouble when the elder of the two is an authority figure to the younger
3.) interesting career choice this guy made. I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with keeping a cadre of naïve and vulnerable underage twinks within easy reach!

[Semi_IronMan]

Isn't that wrong?... And ILLEGAL?

[ImCoolBeans]

Reeeeally bad idea. This never ends well. This is the kind of thing you hear people getting busted for in the news. Be careful, you could land yourself in a very bad situation if caught.

[Emerald Dream]

This is horribly unprofessional by the teacher - who is an adult, and most definitely knows better than to get involved with a 16 year old student. I understand that you may have feelings in this situation, but he is taking advantage of someone a lot younger than him by having this kind of contact with a minor.

I would advise not pursuing this any further that it already has. Chances are that you will end up with very hurt feelings and he will be in very serious trouble.

[jessie3]

What would happen to the both of us if we we're to get caught with each other?

[James Dean]

Again, I understand you being attracted to and having a crush on him, but this is just a world of trouble waiting to happen. Even in college, the instructors can't date the students in some schools. So with the sake of your safety and just so you won't get yourself in trouble, just be careful and don't get too involved with this. Stay safe. :)

[Ryhanna]

Nope, not a good idea. At all. Sorry.

It can be really easy to start crushing on a teacher, but relationships with a teacher aren't appropriate. He could get into a lot of trouble, and it's just not a good idea at all for you. Sorry mate.

[Zachary G]

yeah, i am on the same page here as everyone else, dont do it, not only is it illegal for him to be dating you, but its just not a relationship that you would want to be involved in...not right now, anyway. its one thing to have a crush, but something totally different to be in a relationship. let it go and move on.

[kay_jay]

That sounds very wrong and your parents would probably be upset if they found out you're dating your teacher.

[Luminous]

What would happen to the both of us if we we're to get caught with each other?

Probably nothing for you, but he could end up with jail time and on the sex offender's list. He'd never be able to teach or at all be around minors again.

[maniamsmart]

I agree with everyone else. Even though I don't follow the whole "age difference" rule, and I think people can date at any age, as long as it's within a certain amount of years, a student-teacher relationship doesn't sound right to me. You can google this, and you'll see that almost always this ends wrong, and bad things happen afterwards. Please reconsider your situation and make the right and safe choice.

Do what you wanna do and do what you feel is right
