Here's what always mystifies me. As a teacher at both the high school and college levels I can honestly say I never considered any of my students as anything but students. I became friends with some after I had taught them, and our relationship could be on more even ground. I certainly never thought of them sexually. Ew. I just can't understand how teachers - male or female - can't understand that even if you DO find yourself attracted to a student that is a line you do not cross.
How sad and pathetic a person must you be to, in your 40s, look to a teen for a romantic relationship. The poor girl hasn't had a chance to figure out who she is. How many people here would want to be 16 again? And, how many here would feel able to decide to marry at that age. Good Lord! I feel so sorry for her parents (although I still would never have given permission for them to marry). Has the coach been married before, I wonder?
