I think that happens at all high schools! It totally happened at mine, too, and also there was the science teacher who did eventually marry one of his students, though he waited until she graduated. Man, high school.

Does Tony talk about his feelings with his guidance counselor? Because I think there was a time where he crashed the school dance, drunk, and made a big embarrassing scene and he didn't get suspended because he is Tony Stark, but that was only on the condition that he spends some quality time in the counselor's office, and the counselor is very perceptive and understanding.
