Is it normal to miss your teacher? He was my CCD teacher for two years and now I have received Confirmation. I still see him because he is in the church choir with me, but he's leaving. He will be going to Europe for 27 months in the Peace Corps. I won't be able to see him every weekend and talk to him whenever I want. I feel like he is abandoning me. I feel like a baby because he is leaving and it has nothing at all to do with me, but yet I feel I can do something to change his mind. Even though I know this is for the best and he wants to go, I still feel that he is leaving me all alone in this world. It's not that I love him, it's just that I think of him as always being there for me, and now he's leaving. I just fear that once he leaves, he'll forget all about me and leave me in his past. Is that normal?

    I have felt the same way about people who have left me behind or who I have moved away from. I considered these people role models and part of my family, and each time, it tore me apart to be taken away from them. It is normal. Time will heal your heart and hopefully you can stay in touch.

    awww, i dont know if ur male or female, but maybe u have a crush? or u may just look up to him alot and consider him a hero. ive done this with 3 of my professors, lol but i do get crushes on people who teach me alot. its not even sexual, its just like i'll want to talk to them more and try to be extra attentive in class to catch every word. i think its normal to miss people who help you learn and grow... lol i actually googled my computer science prof from my first term in college in 06-07, to see where he moved to and emailed him! lol but he was happy to hear from me, and get an update. ive since became muslim (like he is) so i even spoke to his wife and she was crying and being so nice. :-) just try and keep contact maybe by letters or email if possible if you are that close. and it will get easier. it always sucks to be separated from ppl u care about

      That's how I feel! I don't feel like I love him, but I do join things he does such as the church choir. I listen to him more intently than I do anyone else in my life. I really look up to him and he let me down big time.
