Student-teacher relationships

I’m 16 years old and I’m my 5th year at secondary school. Just over a year ago a teacher left my school that I was very close with. He used to give me a lot of advice and helped me through a lot of bad times in my life. He knew me better than anyone and I always felt safe with him. As I said it’s been over a year since he left my school and since then we’ve spoken briefly over email but not much. I have very strong feelings for him that are only deepening with time despite not being able to see him or speak to him. I miss him deeply and I’ve been thinking about reaching out once I finish school and have started university to talk about how I’ve felt because I simply don’t see myself moving on any time soon. We never said a real goodbye after all the time we’d spent together which was very upsetting.

So I just don’t know if I should reach out or not in the future

It’s unlikely he feels the same way about you. Please do not message him.

Wait until you’re 18, then he’ll be allowed to reply to you

No, please dont.
There are so many people in the world that arent your teachers

Unless you want pure awkwardness, don’t.

Would it not be okay for us to be friends after I’ve left school?

It would honestly be kinda weird.

Its good that you are choosing to wait a few years before reaching out to the ex-teacher. You have a lot of things to think about in the coming years - A level, Univerisity choices, driving lessons etc. If - by the time you are 18 y- you are still thinking about your teacher then do reach out to him but now whilst you are 16 and still developing as an adult. Give yourself time.

Bruh don’t even...

I piss on my teacher desk

Weird in what way?

I suggest you tell him about how u feel, get it over and done with. Hiding from your feeling won’t help at all. If it works out then great! But if it doesn’t you are still young and I’m sure you will find someone in the future
