I'm a high school art teacher, an out lesbian and in a good long term relationship. A 17 year old girl in my class came out to me and subsequently fell in love with me. My problem is that, after coming out, she stopped working in my class. She turns up drunk at my house when she knows my partner is not home. Her parents have threatened legal action and because of my position and 'out' status, i'm at the losing end.
I try to get her cooperation, but the more i engage, the less concerned she is about her work. I've tried ignoring her, but it does not work either. She only goes out of the way to get my attention, and then rubs it in my face. She has loads of talent and i don't want to force her to take another subject.
I am the only gay teacher at a very conservative school in South Africa.
HELP!
