  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 definitely talk with this student about appropriate boundaries, and make it clear that these types of conversations are not appropriate to have in a student-teacher relationship. I would refer this student to a guidance counselor and, if the situation continued, involve administration and parents.
