Thinking of my teacher, but not sexually. Is this normal? .am I just a hormonal teen?

I am a fifteen year old girl in my sophomore year of high-school. Recently I've been going through some rough times with the weak bond between my mum and I and unlike most teenagers I'm not the type to storm off and tell my friends how bad I have it, because compared to others, I don't! However I do need someone to talk to, and my vent is none other than my (I admit it; handsome) teacher. I haven't told him directly but he seems to understand, he doesn't blow me off like other people and he's kind of always been there for me, weather it's listening to me vent or just letting me hug him.... I'm a very affectionate person and recently I've been having these... Thoughts, if you will, flood my mind; him holding me close, arms wrapped around me, me hugging him listening to his heart beat, just the warmth of his body in close proximity to mine... This didn't bother me Untill yesterday when I had a thought of us hugging, my arms draped on his shoulders, him with one hand on my back another on my shoulder and our faces, or rather, cheeks touching... And I felt it, well... The loss of it. Is it normal? Is it normal of a 15 year old girl to think of her 30 year old teacher like this? So vividly? Or am I just weird? Either way, how do I go about these last few months before the end of school?

Someone your age dreaming about older adults is perfectly normal but it can't go beyond your dream. It is his responsibility to deal with you in a professional way and there are severe consequences if he doesn't. Don't feel bad about your dreams but also don't do anything to take this any farther than where it is right now.

It's natural to develop feelings for people who fill emotional voids in our lives at any age... but it's not healthy. (That's why we have the term "rebound relationship.")

http://www.crisischat.org/ is a great place to vent with a sympathetic person. I suggest venting elsewhere for a while until your fantasies go away. No need to torture yourself with added emotional drama (like thoughts of your teacher) that frustrates you and distracts you from the very real issues at hand.

I think my new answer to everything might be do what Rob/SkyDancer said. :-)
