  • I have a similar experience sorry This is going to be long.

    When I first saw mrs.... she was the coordinator for my yr level when I first started high school. Not many students including myself liked her b coz she was very strict and you knew not to cross her. It wasn't until my second yr in high school that I first spoke to her. I had been going through a rough time that yr with my home life (i ran away from home coz it got so bad) and my performance at school was dropping drastically) teachers must have noticed and that's when mrs... pulled me aside one afternoon to ask how things were for me at home. In that moment i saw a different side to her. She was very caring and i was able to open up to her easily. She also disclosed to me some of her past that related to what I was going through at that time. When she told me the things that happened to her I could see tears welling up in her eyes and All I wanted to do was hug her at that moment and tell her it's ok. It felt good tho for me to know that I wasn't the only one to go through what was happening to me. Honestly from that afternoon I loved her and cared for her so much. Almost like i wanted to protect her from what had happend coz id been through it. the love i felt for her only got stronger from there. Over the next yr our relationship grew stronger also. She built me up and believed I could do anything I set my mind to. I was not used to this as I had no role model in my life at the time that ever believed in me. Once a week I had a free period and she organized for me to come and spend time with her. She helped me discover I had a natural talent for art (the subject she taught) we'd sit and do art and chat about problems or what I did during the week or she'd chat about what she's done and some of her life. She told me often that she loved me and wished she was my mother. And when she would say this I always felt like crying coz I wished so much it was true. She would also hug me or hold my hand or touch my face. She bought me birthday and christmas presents and i also fid the same for her. When I found some permanent accommodation through a youth service she would visit me and At the end of That yr she offered me around her place for Christmas but I didn't go. I wish I had have tho.
    Anyways
    She is the strongest most amazing person I've ever met and still to this day she has a special place in my heart. She made a huge impact on my life. And I really hope she knows that.

    • Same here, my teacher is my achievement coordinator of my year.

      I still am really fond of my teacher. She's just really laid back and unlike other teachers, she's extremely fair and friendly. When I leave for the weekend after 5 days of school, I sometimes cry over being parted from her. It makes my heart break madly. In fact, I have sent her a note saying some nice stuff about her, but I don't know what she's done with it... I don't know how to tell her about my feelings because it's just...well, it's just embarrassing.

      I don't have any abuse at home. My parents are quite nice, especially my mum, but sometimes I just feel worthless. I want to talk to my parents about my feelings but it just doesn't feel right to do so. I'd feel more comfortable to tell my teacher and other teachers about my feelings, because it feels much more secure and less embarrassing. My teachers in primary school were actually worried about me because I told my parents nothing about my troubles.

      I still really adore my teacher and im not sure how I should approach her and spill my feelings to her. I have an itch that tells me she should be my mum too...
