Have you ever been just so angry that it's brought you to frustrated tears? (No, I didn't shed one, but I was just to the point where I wanted to scream so loud in anger). That's how my second period was to me today.  This girl, Kailee, was treating me like I was her best friend and I was tired of it.  I finally told her outside I said "How do you

Since I'll be a real live teacher in about a year, I'm interested in your thoughts on this. What, exactly, was the girl doing/saying that made you uncomfortable with her treating you like a friend? What did "treating you like a friend" entail? Where do you draw the line between "well-liked teacher" and "friend"?

I know I can handle the academic part of teaching. I'm just concerned about the social/relational aspect. The more I hear and talk about it, the more (slightly) worried I get.

This girl likes to treat me like one of the buds. Tell me EXACTLY what she's thinking. She has no filter when it comes to talking to me. You know how you try to talk to maybe a parent or a professor, and you darn well you aren't going to curse or shout or tell about your weekend in utter detail? She doesn't do that with me. Does that make sense? She tries to boss me around on occassion, telling me to 'chill out' or 'relax'. She cops an attitude when I call her out on what she's done wrong

YES! Frustration to tears yesterday for me. :( I ordred my mom some gorgeous bday flowers and our dumbass fucking local shop wouldn't deliver them! No phone call or anyting to explain the delay. I called the original shop that I ordered from and they were furious that it was never delivered. Needless to say I got a 50% refund (which totally helps b/c they were so damn expensive) and guarantee delivery today or my money back. So much for the great surrpise. :( I had to explain why she didn't have a bday present and I was in tears b/c I felt so bad. Of course she completely understands and says its no big deal but STILL! GRRRRRRR!

Anyway - those flowers better be DAMN GORGEOUS for the hell I went through to get them. UGH. I also told the original shop I'll never order through them again and tell everyone i know not to either.
