Please don't feel as though you have to take on your teacher's problems. She was likely only sharing this information with you to gain your trust so she could help YOU. It's her job to help you, not the other way around. You sound like a great kid!

It sounds like you care for your teacher - that's natural and good. BUT because she is the teacher, and you are the student, your relationship can't be the same as it would be with another person your own age - even if she is a young teacher. The best thing you could do for your teacher is to confide to one of your school counselors, both about your problem,and what the teacher told you. It is VERY important that you not have private, confidential conversations with a teacher, and here's why - she can get in HUGE trouble for it! She could even lose her job. My husband is a teacher and I know what I'm talking about, so please, if you care for this teacher, be a good student and talk to the right people. Even though it feels like you should DO something, it is NOT your problem. Give the problem away - to someone who can help your teacher get help. Good luck to you!!

Your teacher really shouldn't discuss her personal problems with her students. It is totally unprofessional and it sort of makes me question her stability.
I would thank her but if she continues to treat you like a friend instead of a student....you really should let your parents or principal know. I know you don't want her to get in trouble..but she might have some MAJOR issues she needs brought to her attention.

Read up on Anorexia/Eating Disorders so you can better understand what she is going through. Don't judge or be critical... she's needs your support. You are already being a wonderful friend and I commend you for that.

well, you have to be there for her all the time. having eating disorder affects very much a persons feelings, you should tell her that she`s beautiful no matter what she thinks and she`s not worthless. she`s and important person and a role model for her students, the kids look up to her and listen to what she sais, so she earned their respect. if she continues doing what she is doing now, she`ll loose this reputation and the respect of the children. she has to be powerful and get out of this situation....

Just being there to listen is enough. She's an adult and has said she's getting help, so you don't need to "do" anything other than just be there if she needs to talk about it.

Maybe she told you because she wants you to know that no one is perfect, but i also think she should have kept that to herself. she told you too much info.
