Back to the beginning
A snapchat memory came up of my 40 year old teachers face and I am instantly back there. I had pushed everything deep deep down but now it's back and stronger than ever. I have been sleeping way more than usual and I have stopped eating and drinking. I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. He picked me cause I was vulnerable and homeless, and yeah he was smart I guess. I still haven't told anyone. It's eating away at me and I feel SO guilty. If I had of been stronger mentally and physically then it wouldnt of went as far. He's away teaching for a year but he'll be back next year and ill be in his class everyday. I don't know what to do I want to tell but I don't have the strength but if I don't and he starts grooming someone else then I don't think I'd be able to cope. All advice needed. Thanks

I would make an anonymous report on this, and I hope you will do it today. He may well be grooming someone in his new location. If you do it now he will not know who has made the report.
It may well be that there is someone who will be willing to make the report for you who the teacher will not connect to you. I can assure you that if he's an abuser, it won't be just you.
@DavidEss I actually made an anonymous email and messaged my principal about what happened a couple of days ago. And while he said they cannot do something because of it they thanked me for bringing it to their attention and will keep an eye on him. I think my jobs done now but i'm gonna focus on myself and my mental health now.
@Saltandchili
That's ALWAYS what we should be focused on imho, and of course that's one of the reasons you stepped up and made the report.
