Is an affair between a student and a teacher acceptable to the society?

It is absolutely not acceptable. Parents send their children to school to learn, not to be romanced. It is supposed to be a safe place for kids, not a place to be manhandled by an adult who can't control herself. It's disgusting on the part of the teacher. You didn't say how old your friend is, but I would hope he would have known better as well. It is, in my opinion, mostly the teachers mistake and she should lose her job. I'm not really sure what you should do, except tell your friend he was being stupid.

Unfortunately there are certain positions in life that we must always put aside any personal feelings and remain professional. A teacher's position is one of those. It's not ethical at all to have an affair with a student and in today's society there are prices to pay for doing so. You haven't commented on how old your friend is but I'm assuming not 18. If this is the case not only is it wrong for the teacher to allow it to happen but it's illegal in most every state I know of. I would say that yes, perhaps they were in love but SHE, as the older and supposedly more wiser adult should have had the sense to say no. If that meant when he turns 18 they still have feelings, then fine. But as a student/teacher relationship it's just not right. You can be there for him as a friend and I think you should be but really, taking a side as to right or wrong will make no difference anyways. It's done and over with. Help him move on.

I don't know what country you live in, but here in America it is against the law, even if a student is of age to consent. It is against the law because a teacher and student are not on a level playing field. A teacher always has the dominant role in the relationship. And why is a 29 year old interested in a high school student?

well personally they are adults and it seems liek everyone should mind there own business. the only prob andyone should have is that maybe grades are not being done the way that they should. i think personally that people should mind there own business when it comes to adult relationships unless they are asked by the adults involved. as for your involvement it is up to you. i live my life as it is my life and if others dont agree with me ok fine i repsect your thoughts but at the same time i want them to respect mine. i speak my mind even if i will get flack from it it is just me. it just depends on you. you need to figure out if it is more important to you to stand up for your thoughts if asked or to keep quite to keep peace in your life. we dont pick who we fall in love with many times it just happens and it is a great gift to have that. it is there battle though it is up to you if you will stand in back , in front, to the side, or run.

First of all, how old is your friend?? If he is a minor this is most certainly wrong!!! Now if you are in college and your friend is an adult, yes it is still wrong because teachers are not suppose to have relations with their students, with that being said. I think there would be nothing wrong with the relationship ending until he is done with his schooling and then they could pick up from there if they are still interested, that is unless she is married. The it is completely wrong..so I guess I need some more information..lol Is she married?? How old is he?? Thanks, have a great day.

Hmmm you're right, there's no wrong when you love but this thing needs to be in its right place & time. It's pretty serious on the thing that's happening between your friend and his girlfriend. If they really do love each other, they can surpass all of those amidst those difficulties they are having right now. All you can do is to be there for your friend no matter what, that's the only thing that he needs and someone who will understand both of them.. =)

If you want to find out if this kind of stuff is acceptable in today's society, just go and ask all the teachers who went to prison for it!

The society takes it very wrongly when a teacher has an affair with his/her student and then all the problems starts. But really can't about it, if it is wrong or right to have an affair with your students or your teacher...

thsoe kind of relationships are not allowed in school..and the teacher knows that..its the call of the teacher to accept him or not...but if they think they are meant for each other one must sacrifice and resign from the job...

if im the student and i like or love a teacher i will really profess my good intention to her and i will study more to be able to pass and have a career of my own that she will be proud of me..i know its not tolerated or not acceptable but i prefer to make it secret in the meantime...well since it was been known of all the affair of the two then one must be gone in the school for decency reasons to avoid any controversies that will arises then...maybe the teacher can go..

This is really a bit of a gray area. Society likes to put up some very narrowly defined "boxes" around what's appropriate, and what's not... but it's not always so clear. At first, I thought this was an issue of an adult and a child, which clearly would be wrong, but you say your friend is 20, so this is really a relationship between two ADULTS (assuming "adult" means 18, in your part of the world). The reasons I say it is a "gray area" is that let's say your friend was in love with this teacher, but not in her CLASS. Would there be as much of a "stir" going on? Probably not. Sure, people would perhaps give them funny looks on account of the age difference... but nine years is really NOT a huge age difference. The issue really becomes about "ethics" and the appropriateness of the relationship IN THE CONTEXT of "authority/dependent." It's just a variation on "dating your boss." There's nothing "wrong" with it, from a relationship standpoint, but you have LOST any objectivity in the "professional" relationship between a TEACHER and a STUDENT. In this case, I think both of them just made an unwise CHOICE. If the teacher valued her JOB, she could at least have said "this is not going to happen until you are no longer my student." But love makes people do strange things....

It is absloutely not accepted in the society that a student is going sround with his teacher. Teachers are only supposed to teach and guide the students they are not supposed to go on dates with their students. That would be a strange thing to do. I am completely against it.

i think it depends on the country whether it is acceptable.at 1st i wanted to say maybe we do not have the right to comment on that because its really none of our business.but after hearing that she got fiance but still wanna involve with her students in affair then definitely it is wrong & non-acceptable.if she have a fiance why she wanna involve in affair??she should have just stick to that guy having a good job & get married later on.but now she do not left anything since she's in the process of losing her job & losing her fiance as well.i am sure her parents would be so ashame about her too.while for your friend i do not think its a love.its more to a crush.so he shouldn't get so over & now this is causing him a lot of problem as well.if he reali love her he would find out first whether that girl is having another guy in her life or not??he should finish his studies first then only continue after tat if he really love that girl

Imagine, first parents have to worry about their kids being bullied or being a bully. Now that next problem, their kids falling in love with their teacher. IT's like before they leave for school,the parents say,"remember kid, it's not right to fall in love with your teacher."

well i understandyour situation,,,if we analyze theres no wrong about it,,,as much as they love and single,,,its normal,,because they are humen,,,but we need to accept that in our society its notacceptable coz we treat our teacher as our second parent,yah its hard to decide what you have to do,,,all i can say is just pray for them that lighten their mind,,,and i hope they can solve it....good luck,,,

half plus 7 she is 29, lets say 30 your friend must be 22 then if he gets in the other Economics class its ok for them to date, if he is 21, its illegal and he must wait

The way I see it is.. if they want to have a public affair then either he should drop out of that school or she should find a new job. I don't see a problem with a relationship between two adults, but when they know that it is something that will bring them troubles (disciplinary action/possibly being fired) then they should be adult about it and fix the situation so that it can work. Other than that, there is probably nothing anyone can do as people will just do what they want and not listen anyway. They will learn their lessons!

If it was just love,we should do nothing but bless them.Love is the most important thing in this world.

well this is strange and i think childish and it is not acceptable in our society

well it is little bit strange and i think it is not acceptable to our society
