But after the course ended, would you date an age-appropriate former student? Many people do, and marry them as well.

If it were real love, it would be selfless toward such a young person. They'd at the very least wait for the young person to graduate and turn 18 before approaching them. The relationship would have some idealism about it. I do know people who married their FORMER teachers, quite a few in fact -- but none were minors (or students of that teacher) when the first dated.

@BlunderCity I never heard that Macron had any physical relationship with his future wife Brigitte before graduation, but the emotional tie was known. After graduation and attaining age 18, it is purely a personal and a family matter. They waited a long time to marry, to make sure it was real. I had forgotten he married his teacher. In France it is a nonstory.

@sarcastic_sam9059 So well put. It isn't just about age differences.

@markdouglas1601 This is correct as well. Pre-adolescents and young people who have passed through adolescence are not the same. At 17, many kids are five years past puberty. They are still minors, and their teachers have no business approaching them, "age of consent" or not. But it is wrong to call it pedophilia. It's kind of ridiculous.

@johnpaul5474 I agree, but how is that relevant? It isn't. THIS report was about high school teachers approaching current high school students. That is never, ever acceptable. A high school graduate who is a former student is a different matter.

@lidahall5928 Perfectly put.

SubversiveMemes I agree. I am personally not attracted to late adolescents or young men (even if they are out of high school and of age), but I don't think the attraction is necessarily perverse. If there are any true, idealistic romantic feelings, the teacher will feel ethically bound to wait for the younger person to graduate and begin adult life. I know people who married their teachers, senior high and college -- but they got to grow up first.

I'm sorry, but does AA include members who are either under 18 or still in high school? You've got to be kidding. I also thought AA very strongly advises adults who meet there to wait a year before so much as going on a date. I know it cannot be enforced, but the strong warning should be a tipoff that being approached is not likely to involve true love.

@bobcat24 You are evil but you made me laugh.

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 Look, I did not know they admit minors without a guardian, if that is what you are hinting. Maybe I misunderstand. I have no clue, either, why you target me with this spiel, but this is the Internet. Whatever.

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 Morever, I've never thought to use any substance. It literally doesn't occur to me. My pain medication from an operation several years ago remains unopened. Took a cab home by myself the next day. Didn't need an aspirin. (I know this is in very large part genetic luck.) Sorry. You may need to consider some additional counseling if a simple expression of surprise that minors are admitted without an adult guardian leads you to this.

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 I did report your post for harassment, just to let you know. You have no right to impute illegal activities (you mentioned drugs) to some stranger in a forum such as this. I suspect you were emboldened by the "like" from Dr. Grande. Perhaps I ought to unsubscribe as well.

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 I know whether or not I'm on drugs, or whether I've ever seen a drug. Don't you? You have no right to insinuate criminality or alcoholism on someone simply because that person believes that MINORS unaccompanied by a guardian should not attend AA. As if there's no danger of exploitation! Your initial post was about that very issue. Maybe additional counseling beyond amateur group therapy might be helpful. Or consider a logic class. (BTW, is believing that minors unaccompanied by a responsible adult do not belong in adult AA meetings a symptom of alcoholism in your world? If so, I won't stand up for them. Why bother? Not my problem.)

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 You're right. Logic class is futile.

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 Reported again.

@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 Poor Dr. Grande emboldened you. I was right, and unsubscribed. I already caught on, by the way. Emigrating by 2025; aiming for 2023.

It's interesting to me that my parents, as immigrants, had a very bright line of demarcation: a high school student is a pupil, a child. Upon graduation, they are an adult. College students are adults. It was literally a rite of passage in their minds. I thought the American style of bringing up adolescents step by step, and treating them differently at 14, 15, 16, and 17 was so much wiser. I'm getting the sense that this culture has moved to seeing all people under 18 as children, and all sex between adults and adolescent minors as "pedophilia," with all the horror that entails. I don't think that makes sense at 17, or 16. The law is written that way, too, to account for small differences in age (one person 16, the other 19, for example). Teachers have no business approaching students, ever -- nor do professors, no matter the age. Former students who are adults when first approached are a different matter. I know marriages like that. Everyone does. I don't see a problem.
