Odd that when it’s a female teacher everyone scoffs at the idea of there even being a victim. I don’t believe there should be any sexual contact between students and teachers just pointing out the obvious. Sure have seen a lot of this lately.

These teenagers need to be held accountable as well… They know better

My girlfriend just said “Where were all these teachers when she was in high school?”

Yes! Especially after letting it go on for a couple of months before coming forward.. Kinda makes me wonder if he made her mad about something and that’s why she decided to come forward now.

It’s an even bigger problem with the perverted women. I would think it will slow down after we start putting them in jail like we do the men.

They were there. We just didn’t have social media pointing it out. I had 2 male teachers who married students they’d been dating.

Please remember that for every deviant teacher, there are hundreds of teachers that do the right thing. Please don’t include us in “these damn teachers “.

Nicholas Lemonds I agree. I have a lot of respect for teachers, my was a high school teacher. But there has just been so much of this lately.
Nicholas Lemonds
Melanie Rozelle i know. As a male teacher, I have to be so careful. If a female student is in my room alone, i have to make sure the door is open, etc. I get frustrated because, to be honest, it seems like more young female teacher have the bigger problem. It’s all very sad.
Melanie Rozelle
It is very sad. And I know most kids are pretty good too, but some can be so wild. Not enough parents involved and with so many single parent homes I know it takes a toll on the kids and some make bad choices. Thanks for what you do!
Brian Wells
Happening alot
Scott Landers
Lynne Songer Keenum Oh I know. That is thick sarcasm. Believe the women were too and not just the teachers.
Cheryl Spaulding McLelland
How do these freaks get in the school system?
Tara Bradshaw Sellers
Oh no, another one?!?!?
Lauren Davis Franklin
Richard Stiles Yep! She got vindictive probably when he tried to end things or realized he messed up. Teenage girls are easily manipulated, yes, but also incredibly manipulative themselves.
Leigh Robertson Clements
The kids are in high school they should no better.
Tiffany Herring
I mean where are they finding these teachers
Misty Swann Glissman
Wait, what!!??? Are you crazy? Students are CHILDREN!! That’s why they are still in school learning. I don’t care if this girl was a senior, she is still a CHILD in the care/custody/control of an ADULT teacher! Shame on you for trying to blame a child!
Lauren Davis Franklin
Misty Swann Glissman Well… Unfortunately these “children” don’t act like nor have the mentality of a child. They are so eager to grow up and have sex. I’m not naive.
Misty Swann Glissman
Lauren Davis Franklin yes, I understand that. But that’s where the teacher, as an adult, has to be an ADULT!
Vickie Aldridge
I don’t think they go out to be teachers and seek this.. if he struggled with sexual stuff before this was a temptation he was not going to win.
Lauren Davis Franklin
Misty Swann Glissman in a perfect world, yes. He is wrong, but the teenager who consented to the relationship is just as responsible, and should be held accountable. You can’t just get mad and decide to turn someone in because you know they will get into trouble… I’m not sure if that is even this kind of situation, however, the student is old enough to know right from wrong.
Lauren Davis Franklin
Misty Swann Glissman Now, had the student been preyed upon by the teacher, and manipulated into a relationship that’s a whole other situation…. The point myself and others are making is that this is becoming so common place and students are falling into this horrible situations which are consensual.
Cheryl Spaulding McLelland
If he feels tempted then be adult enough to take his self out of the situation. They are students, adolescent children. The adult should do the right thing.
Misty Swann Glissman
Lauren Davis Franklin – I’m willing to bet that someday when you have a teenage daughter, you will change your mind. I’ve raised two and can tell you that even though they are old enough to have sexual hormones, they aren’t mature enough to say no to a teacher that they view as someone they can trust. With all due respect, you look young and I think you still have a lot more to learn. I’m only a couple of years from being 50 years old and I promise you that I learned a lot and changed a lot of my opinions after living a little.
Lauren Davis Franklin
Misty Swann Glissman I am young-ish, however, I’m not naive… And can promise you there are plenty of junior, senior girls who do far more than their parents will ever know. I’ll leave it to that. Goodnight
Misty Swann Glissman
Lauren Davis Franklin I agree. But when it’s your daughter you will look at it differently, I promise. Goodnight.

And yet I can’t get a job as a female history teacher, while these sickos get jobs galore.

The teacher is an ADULT, HE should know better and have some self control😡
Khalia Kennedy
The amount of victim-blaming on this post is disgusting. Like Misty Swann Glissman said, If it was your daughter , you would not be saying all this crap. The victim is a child, he is an adult.
Lauren Davis Franklin
Khalia Kennedy 🤷🏻♀️ based on the amount of likes I’m apparently not the only one who thinks so..
Tammy Pruett
Yes it is Diane Cochran Tatum. How many of these stories have we heard lately? Too many!
Diane Cochran Tatum
I so enjoy your posts ty for sharing your thoughts #llovethewayyouwrite

Thank you, you are too sweet!
Lisa Gabert Townsend
Pretty sure this happened when we were in school. Girls flirting with cute teachers/coaches and they took them up on it.
David Morgan
Yep..
Lisa Gabert Townsend
Pretty sure it happened with female coaches too.
Stephen Smith
Age is exactly what makes you older people even more oblivious to what kids are doing now a days…
Lauren Davis Franklin
Exactly! Saw it all the time.
Brandon Johnson
This is what happens when you place the wrong people in the wrong positions but leadership never has to answer.
Jana Lile
Yes it did! It wasn’t considered perverted back then either.
Lillian Stevens Young
Misty Swann Glissman seriously ! What is wrong with these people ? Physically mature and mentally/emotionally mature are two separate issues. Is the 17 year old girl who is raped by her father or stepfather also to be partially blamed ? Absolutely not !Wake up , people.
Lauren Davis Franklin
Lillian Stevens Young that’s a completely different story. And yes, many girls do come on to their teachers, and start these things. Sorry to burst your bubble. The world is messed up and these “Kids” don’t have any morals.
