I am dating a teacher.

A disclaimer: I am of legal age in the US.

Why not confess your secrets to the internet?

I suppose I wanted to vent about this recent relationship I’ve involved myself in.

He is an AP Physics teacher occupying a nearby school district. Under the policy he is supposed to follow, despite me being 18, he’s technically not allowed to date a fellow student. Not sure if that applies to all surrounding districts. We met online (I won’t specify the source. Haha.)

I’d like to express a few of my worries.

I fear that the times we do occupy the public, we will likely be stared at. Despite our connection, I still feel it’ll be looked down upon. In fact, I know it will be. Haha.

I also have no clue how to explain this relationship to my mother if it were to last, or to any of my friends, as this is a touchy subject in itself. I plan on keeping this relationship hidden for as long as I possibly can. I’ve been visiting him secretly, and the thought of getting caught is mortifying. I’ve been out and about with him recently, and I still feel as if I’m doing something wrong... I can’t even bare to occupy a drive-through with him, as I also fear I’ll be seen with him and harshly judged. I can’t shake the pit that remains in my stomach, yknow?

(Please, no mean or judgmental comments! I am simply venting!)

What brainwashed dumbshits see: Law and policy breaking, possible 'pedophilia'.

What I see: A couple in love.

Age is based upon a flawed (beyond flawed) system of time that's been changed more times than I can count on both hands, is also some stupid magic-gate bullshit that's attached to maturity as if they're one and the same which only fools, statists, and legalists believe.

I honestly wish I could help; I'd even offer my services as a hired sword.

@ssunmhaley I’m thinking more of him. The school prohibits relationships with students because in terms of power it’s not an equal relationship, and easy for a teacher to take advantage.

@SW-User Horrible, your ill wishes.
@bijouxbroussard Maturity, not magic number bullshit is what matters.

Thank you. I honestly cannot understand the amount of hate already being projected toward him, as I am LEGAL. I specified this in my post, yet I am still seeing those who still don’t seem to understand. As of right now, I am legal. In the court of law, I am legal. I would be prosecuted just the same as an adult.

I do not encourage manipulation, predatory relationships, all of the above! My goodness. Haha. Although I am thankful that users among this website are concerned, they should not go as far as to state that he deserves to lose his career. @Amyrakunejo

@ssunmhaley Back home, time is an abstraction. It's not really measured by any precise form because there's no need. Closest is lunar phases and seasons.

So, when I say maturity is all that matters, it comes from experience where that is all THAT I KNOW. Maturity by numbers, how silly. Makes no damn sense.
