Teacher disapproves of me "online dating"
I was telling my teacher about how I met a guy who lives in the UK. She interpreted it as I MET somebody (like dating way) Then she went on a long speech about how online dating is unsafe and not something that should be. Then three other teachers joined in with her on it. They all were like telling me something bad is going to happen to me if i online date. (which im not even doing!) What the heck bro.

I'm sure they were just concerned for your safety but yeah that's a bit annoying. Always be safe on the internet, especially if you're a minor but don't be discouraged from talking online sometimes as long as you're 99% certain that they are safe. I'm only being so adamant because I had a horrible experience when I was 11 and I thought (naively because I was a child) that they were safe to talk to. Hope this helps 
How old are you?

That's why they're teachers. And not multi-millionaire business owners. They're timid and wedded to the safe, comfortable options in life.
When you leave school, there are multiple paths to you earning more than your teachers in 12 to 36 months.
I bet that if you looked at the romantic partners of your teachers, you'd see that they're not all that.
And that there are other areas in their lives where they are socially conditioned and behave and think like good little drones.
You deserve a better life than your teachers. And better romantic partners than them.
Being proactive in social networking beats being passive.
You're not an idiot. You know how to do a risk assessment when it comes to online dating. And how to manage and minimise the risks.
You can just smile and nod and feel superior to your teachers and other people when they are giving you advice that isn't appropriate for you. There's no point in arguing with people that know next to nothing about what they're talking about.
On the other hand, it's really good practise if you can seek out and follow the advice of mentors in particular areas. People that have a proven track record of success in whichever endeavours you're looking to get in to...

Okie dokie, that helps with a bit of context.
I can see why an adult would be concerned about a 14 y old girl telling me they met a man online. Can you see that?
Yes perhaps three colleagues crowding you would feel quite unpleasant, I understand that, I suspect I might feel the same there.
Could you explain for us a bit more about your connection with this man if it wasn't in terms of dating?
