Is it normal to like your teacher?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to develop a crush on a teacher or feel especially drawn to them. The feeling is one thing; acting on it is different, because teachers have authority and need to keep clear boundaries.

A teacher can seem especially appealing because you admire them, spend time with them, or like the way they make you feel seen. Lots of people get a crush on someone they admire, and it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.

You don’t have to act on the feeling or tell them. Keep things appropriate, and remember that a teacher is responsible for maintaining a professional boundary—especially if you’re under 18. If a teacher encourages secrecy or tries to make things romantic or sexual, tell a trusted adult.
