Student Teacher Relationships

So, that teacher that went on National television to confess his love for his 18 year old former student was arrested this week on a charge from 1998 where he was with a 17 year old girl. 
Not that much of a shocker people! 
Seriously, I was just waiting for this shit to come into light. There is no way that his preditor ass hasnt done something like this before. You are attracted to what you are attracted to and some people are just disgusting and are attracted to people you arnt suppose to be attracted to, like your students. Its just wrong. 
Its a manipulation of power, that can happen on either end. 
It is not all his fault that these jailbate girls got with him. They could have said no, they could have not gotten naked and allowed him to touch them with his pervy hands, they could have been like "eww hes my teacher." or "was my teacher". 

I would straight up chop a guys balls off and feed them to him if he tried that shit with my daughter. I have no seconds thoughts about it but I am also going to make sure to educate my daughter on the pervish behaviors of men out there. Not all guys are bad but not all guys are good either and you shouldnt just trust someone because they are your teacher, principal, or boss. That power was given to them but it can be stripped away in the blink of an eye. 

Teachers shouldnt have their students facebook accounts or hangout with them outside of a mentor/mentee setting. Once the student has graduated, is of age, and is an adult then they can persue a relationship outside of that setting. Before then isnt appropriate. 

When I was in high school I placed my trust into a teacher that I thought actually cared about me. Not in a romantic way or anything, more like an uncle or a brother. He was a wonderful mentor and meant alot to me but my senior year it all fell away. He left with out telling me. I came into orientation expecting to see him and he was gone. We had so many plans and it ruined everything. Not only was I totally on my own in my own apartment without any family but now my one ambition in school was ruined. My senior year was shit without that class. I had thrown myself fully into it. I didnt have a back up plan or a back up alternative goal. He ruined everything but what hurt the most was that all of my supposed friends in that specific class had know for months that he wasnt going to be there and instead of telling me or giving some kind of a hint to hey your world is about to be thrown through a loop, they just graduated and left me too. 
If I wouldnt have had that family-ish relationship with him then my senior year would have been more well rounded. I wouldnt have fallen into such a gigantic depression. I wouldnt be where I am today. 
So, when I see stories like this it really makes me want to throw up. Teachers are suppose to guide you not take advantage of your obvious short comings. 
I worked my ass off for that class and put it where it needed to be and then was dumped on my head without a safety net or anything.
I can only imagine how much heart break that chick is going through because she had a more intimate relationship than I had.
