  Case: TMI
My friend that teaches at the high school level has a student that is constantly informing her of things of a personal nature such as what she did with a boyfriend of sneaking out at night. The teacher has discouraged the behavior but is wondering if she needs to inform administration.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would bring my concerns to the school counselor and get their input. If the behavior is endangering the student then I would immediately involve the parents and administration.

Comments: This solution is a great idea because it does not involve a teacher stepping out of their boundary. Instead, these are appropriate steps that a teacher can take to ensure they are taking the best action and trying to do the best by the student as well.

Comments: I agree. The student may confide in you, but it's something that someone other than yourself needs to hear about so you can take the correct precautions.

Comments: This post was helpful but could use additional refinement as it felt too canned. Clearly, however, the idea of engaging with a third party particularly someone like a counselor is a good idea I think other steps with the student could be taken as well.
