Is it normal to develop feelings for your children's teacher?

You didn’t give nearly enough information for any of us here to understand your position or form an opinion but from what I did gather, I do believe some professional counseling would help. Not the school counselor for gods sake, but someone far away from the school.

“My friends advised me I should get legal advice because of what they are doing can be classed as discrimination…”

If the teachers have this big of an issue, it sounds like one conversation saying how you felt two years ago hasn’t been the only thing…so perhaps what YOU are doing could be classified as sexual harassment?!

I think you need to elaborate before anyone can give any type of actual advice here. How are they discriminating against you? You can like anyone you want, they may not reciprocate it and if that’s the case then you need to be okay with that and figure it out. If it’s been 2 years, there’s a good chance the other party isn’t interested and you need to move on.

That sentence ran on forever! Sorry though no advice here.

I guess in my opinion from what I’m gathering…if the teacher is single and you are single I don’t see why it matters the profession of a person to have feelings for them. Teachers date and marry just like anyone else. If the feelings are mutual and you’re both single, there is NOTHING wrong with pursuing. If teacher is married or you are…you need to not move any farther in this matter. I don’t see why anyone would “discriminate” you or treat you poorly for this unless there are other relationships involved.

First, are you married. If yes, then those feelings are misplaced. If no, then the teacher is like any other person. The mistake you made was discussing it with anyone. By the reaction, it seems you talked to people other than the teacher. There is very little you can do to change people’s opinion once it has been established. Start by staying as far away from that teacher as possible. Walk on the other side of the street if you need to. Don’t talk to them unless it’s absolutely necessary, and never alone. It’s going to take time for this to pass. Start dating someone else even if it’s just coffee. You need to get past this. Obviously the feelings are not reciprocated, so you’ve got to move on. Once you do, things will get better.

You need a teacher to teach you punctuation and not to write a runon sentence

So is she ever gonna “fill in the blanks” or is she not happy with the answers she got? Like helloooo we have questions here? You let us keep guessing and it’s making you look like a weirdo/stalker/attention seeker/childish/etc… one thing we can all agree on is… WE FEEL BAD FOR THE CHILD AT THIS POINT! Sorry, you gave us nothing left to go on and we had to go on what we did have.

Lorelei Gilmore didn’t think it was bad

Here’s so much missing information here.
