dmartin89 agony auntI'm with k_c100 on this one.

I'm sure in the last 4 years he has noticed how you feel, even if you try to cover it up, your body unconsciously gives away signals.

He doesn't want to lead you on, he doesn't want to get fired or put in prison.

Having an attraction for an authority figure at your age is completely normal, I certainly had my fair share of teacher crushes! It's likely that it wont fade away until you stop spending as much time with him. One of the required skills for being a teacher is to able to communicate well with their students, build a healthy trusting relationship which encourages you to learn and for them to be a person you can turn to in times of trouble.

Don't tell him, just act normally around him. Remember, although teachers are adults, they get stressed sometimes too and that can effect their communication skills.

Chin up :-)

k_c100 agony auntMy guess is that he has started ignoring you because he has realized that you might be attracted to him, so he wants to stop it before he could get into any trouble. He isnt angry, he just knows he could lose his job and go to prison if anyone suspects even the slightest thing is going on between you - so he is making sure he is not seen to be allowing your crush to develop futher.

Dont tell him how you feel, it is only a crush and will pass in time. He is your teacher and you are only 14, nothing could ever happen between you so its best just to leave it alone.

I hope this helps and good luck!
