My high school social studies teacher is a male. We talk, smile, and laugh together. I stay after school with him some days, and he will help me study. I'm close to him very well,unlike me and my real father is, and we have very much in common. I want to tell him I think of him as a father figure. First off, he never puts me down like my real father. My teacher inspires me, and he said he will never give up on me. Even when I did wrong in my pass, he never gave up on me, and now I'm doing excellent in school. Thanks is not enough to tell him how much he made a positive impact in my life. It's just hard holding this back.

    some parents nowadays are more into themselves and others are stressed with keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table as well as paying the other bills and do forget that the kids sometimes need more than this , but kids have no common frame of reference to understand what they HAVE to deal with also. if you are not helping to make things easier on him his reaction maybe to not care about somethings involving you. which is not good for either, it will only generate more resentment and regrets later in life.

    How incredibly tiring it must be to be a teacher these days. All those little girls who crush on them, or want them to be their mother or lover, and all those little boys who seek to replace their fathers with this fictitious idea of the perfect parent.
    Get a grip kid, if he WAS your father you'd be out finding someone else to fill the position, just as quickly.
    Being a parent is a tough job and having an ungrateful kid can't make it any easier.
