a girl who knows

I'm a 19 year old girl.

I was sexually abused by my high school teacher when I was 16. He told me he loved me and called me his girlfriend....and his daughter.

He was 52.

My case went to court, and I have been in therapy for about two years. This is a subject that is so misunderstood in society.. I want to help everyone to understand.

I know there are other girls out there experiencing this, because it's more common than we want to believe..and I want to talk to them. I wish there had been a blog or site like this when I needed help.

If you have questions, or think your teacher is crossing the line, or maybe just want a friend..I'll be waiting.

Jezbel responds to Glee’s student-teacher episode

Like I said, I contacted Jezebel and implored them to write an article about Glee’s latest story plot - a male student and female teacher having a sexual relationship, which makes me want to spit. I even pointed out Rachel’s former crush on Mr Schu which was quickly explained as being inappropriate (and rightly so), which Jezebel was unaware of. So I’m glad I could help jump-start their response on this disgusting plot. Emails work, people!

While last week’s episode of Glee sparked protests from parents groups, thankfully tonight’s episode featured more wholesome plotlines. Now that we’ve moved past two gay high school seniors talking about losing their virginity, the show went back to a non-scandalous topic: student/teacher sex. The episode opens with Puck defending his love for Shelby in a voice over, saying:

“Don’t judge me, I’m 18. Besides, the age difference isn’t that crazy. Just look at Ashton and Demi, Indiana Jones and Ally McBeal, Woody Allen and that Chinese girl. I get that teacher-student relationships are tricky, but aren’t all realationships? I’m willing to put in the work for this one. When she looks at me, I don’t feel like a boy anymore. I feel like the man that I’ve always wanted to be. A family man.”

This segues into a fantasy performance of “Hot For Teacher,” with several close-ups on Shelby’s ass. When the boys finish the song at a glee club rehearsal, Rachel notes that it’s inappropriate, because the writers seem to think that if they make some meta reference to the show’s flaws that gives them license to do whatever they want.

This plot line is particularly irritating because it actually works aside from the student/teacher element. Puck and Shelby’s relationship was well-developed, and it seems like we’re seeing him mature into man who could be a good father. However, noting that Puck is 18 doesn’t excuse the fact that Shelby is his teacher. Shelby mulling over a relationship with Puck is flat-out wrong. While Mr. Schue instantly squashed Rachel’s one-episode crush on him, the writers think it’s okay to portray this relationship as romantic because the student is a guy. Yet for some reason, the Parents Television Council has yet to make any angry declarations about Glee sending kids the message that sometimes having a relationship with your teacher can be sexy.
