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!)

If you don't go to the school where he teaches and you're of legal age then what's the issue?
