I started ‘dating’ my English teacher a while ago. I had him as a teacher last year and he will be teaching me this year too. It’s been two weeks since we started seeing each other romantically. We kissed once and met few times outside of school but nothing more has happened between us since then. I don’t know what to do, but I’m sure don’t want to get him in trouble. He keeps me at a distance now, but wants to meet me on a break on Tuesday. I’m 17 and he’s 28. What should I do?

Do not meet him.  He is an adult who knows better.  I know you don’t want to get him in trouble, but what he is doing is illegal.  Even though you are 17 and nearly an adult, in the eyes of the law, he is manipulating a child for his own means.  Please tell a caring adult you trust, whether it’s another teacher, guidance counsellor, principal, parent or the police.  This cannot happen.  The very fact that you are asking about this shows that you have concerns, so do not go through with anything with him.
