Do not tell him. It will be so embarrassing for you.

when growing up, its normal to develop crushes on teachers, you admire them as they are older and you find qualities in them you like. its totally normal, and most people develop crushes on teachers throughout their education. however, its important that you dont act on these feelings. not only would it be his family who could be harmed, he could loose his job. but i dont think you need to change class, over time you will grow out of this crush and you will look back and laugh at it all :D

I've been through this soooooo much!!!

first with a teacher that had no idea who i was and then with my sociology teacher last year,

all i can say really is that the feelings that you have for him WILL go away! i used to cry myself to sleep at night thinking about how it will never work with my teacher, it was horrible. i contemplated telling him too but in reality, you're not helping your feelings at all. you'll just be making your teacher feel uncomfortable. my teacher eventually left and i was crushed to pieces but it made me realise that nothing was going to happen and that i should move on. you just kinda have to remember that. i know its hard because right now, i'm crushing on a married man and it's so hard to cope with. honestly though, don't tell him. i hate it when people answer these questions saying that 'it will never work' and to 'give up' because i think that if it's meant to happen then it will, just give it time, your still young and you don't wanna waste your adolescence being upset over all this, i regret doing it :/

pancakes rule agony auntFancying a teacher is a very normal part of growing up, but you should not act on it. Don't tell him how you feel, it could just make things awkward between the two of you. The feelings should just go away naturally, try to look at guys your own age and go out with them. I know that girls mature faster than guys, so I can understand that it can seem like no guy is as good as a man, but there's always someone.

Good luck

I doubt you'll ruin his life, it might be awkward, but i don't think you should tell him as it probably won't go anywhere. Try and pick his faults, is an option. We've all had crushes on teachers and eventually it will burn out. Try going for someone your own age.
