Teachers have a responsibility to inform and mentor students as they work toward creating bright futures for both themselves and their communities.

However, what occurs when a teacher starts to feel... drawn to a student instead of concentrating on their work?

Using the TwtSecretsMY Twitter page, a local teacher revealed her confession that she thinks her 17-year-old pupil is attractive and wonders whether that makes her a pedophile.

"Is it a sin if I find my student handsome?" she wrote. He is 17 years old, and I am 23. There have also been rumors around class that the boy is attracted to me. I'm not a child molester for this, am I?

The public's reaction to this confession was ultimately divided; although some felt that the student's attraction was inappropriate and pedophilic in general, others felt that it was acceptable for her to find him attractive as long as she didn't act on her feelings while he was still a student.

It's okay to think your pupil is attractive. However, if you sense that you are falling in love, hold off until after he turns 18 years old. There are tales of educators wedlocking male pupils. The student is a teenager, much younger. They started to seem like mother and son. How to proceed if they match.

A netizen even made the observation that if the teacher had been a man and the pupil a woman, the teacher would already be the subject of an investigation.
