Smile, Or You're Doing It Wrong: Andy Glaze On Relentless Positivity, PTSD, & The Healing Power Of Movement
"I was essentially groomed by an older teacher. I was, you know, quite young, 16, 17 years old, and it turned into like a sexual relationship. And then, you know, I left the school and, and she continued to do it with other students. She ended up getting like pregnant by one of the other kids."
Andy Glaze revealed for the first time in his book and on this podcast that while attending John Dewey Academy, a therapeutic boarding school, he was groomed and sexually abused by a female Spanish teacher when he was 16-17 years old. He disclosed that the teacher continued the pattern with other students after him and eventually became pregnant by another student. Glaze expressed guilt for not reporting it at the time, fearing retaliation within the school's confrontational therapeutic environment.
