To whom it may concern

My question is. Since I was in high school I became very close to some teachers. Where I formed friendships with them. I did this because I did not have many peers. I looked up to my teachers for support, encouragement and to be friends with them. I want to know if this a normal thing for children and adults with learning disabilities to attach themselves to others especially for security purposes. Is it normal for us to get offended when the people turn you away?

I also did this in my work place. I work in a school with children with special needs. At the time I was in college and needed some help with papers for my college courses. I asked my assistant principal to help me. I was always looking forward to her helping me even with personal issues. At times she turns me away. Is she doing the right thing by turning me away? How do I stop myself from attaching myself to her to be my counselor, friend and etc.. What suggestions do you have for her to help me? cc1234
