Dear Pastor,
I am a 28-year-old female teacher in a prominent high school who has been having a relationship with my 18-year- old student for the past two years.
He is the only person that I am sleeping with and now I found out I am pregnant with his child. I told him and he is willing to take up the responsibility as this is his final year in upper six.
Loves me
He says he loves me and is willing to get married and settle down, but how do I tell people around me that he is the father of my child.
Pastor, I am awaiting your kind advice.

Dear Scared Teacher,
Many people will condemn you. You are in deep trouble, but don't abort the pregnancy.
Now, I am going to tell you something that may help you to keep courage. About a year or two ago, I received a call on the "Dear Pastor" radio show from a man who informed me that while he was in high school his teacher and himself fell in love and they had a sexual relationship, and he impregnated her. No one except the both of them knew who got her pregnant.
Problems
His father is a lawyer and would have created problems for the teacher. She would have had to resign.
They decided not to let him know. The relationship between the teacher and the student grew and they got married.
Teacher, you made a big mistake. You have my prayers.
Pastor
