Advice About My History Teacher?

I really like my history teacher, but I'm not quite sure he likes me. I mean, he's really, really nice, but he has a little group he pays attention to. He acts like they're the only ones in the class, and it gets annoying. I don't know why he's one of my favorite teachers, but he is. His birthday was the other day, and I wrote him an poem, anonymously, but I don't know if he noticed it was me. I'm trying every way for him to just like me a little more.


Now I think he's starting to like me, but there's a problem.


I'm embarrassed to go into his class now, because I had sent him anonymous email asking for advice on something.


I mean, one after another, I'm just.. I don't know.


I'm in 8th grade, and I'm also under depression at the same time. I just thought my history teacher could help me more.





I guess I'm getting off topic.


What I do need help with is...





I think my history teacher is one of the best people I could talk to about what's depressing me, but I don't know if he'd want to talk to me about it, and I certainly don't want to go up to him and talk to him. No way.





Any suggestions?





Thanks, and sorry for the length of the boring question, hehe.





PS. I'm almost sure I posted this question before, on another yahoo account, but I didn't really get to see it, carefully, and now I totally lost it. xDAdvice About My History Teacher?
you should ask your school councelor. ALso you can talk with a shrink ( psychologist) about what troubles you. School councelors aid not just in school matters i think so they are there to help. You can also talk to your history teacher if hes comfortable with it.Advice About My History Teacher?
if you feel comfortable with him, talk about it to him in person see if it will go away.





Depression is a chemical reaction in the brain, you may need to take St Johns Wart which is found in the supermarket
I don't think that talking to a teacher is a good idea [seeing where you don't want your parents to know]. Teachers, by law, have to tell guidance, who have to then tell your parents.
Its sounds like your coming onto him. Thats how I would feel.





Answer questions more and pay attention. He'll start to like you.
Be careful not to expect too much from him. He might be able to offer some advice, but he can't cure you of everything. Only God can do that. If you don't want to go up and talk to him, maybe you could e-mail him with your actual name and be upfront. Don't get too detailed or anything until you see how he reacts to you. Also, don't forget that he's just a person. He's your teacher, but he's also a person who has his own opinions and flaws. It would probably be better for you to see a counselor. Can you do that? I'm sorry you're depressed. There's hope if you keep looking and never give up.
If you feel comfortable talking to him about your 'issues' just confront him about it. Say, ';Listen, I am dealing with some things lately, and those things are making me feel unhappy, and I feel like talking to you may help me.';


Just tell it to him straight, tell him that you think he is a good teacher, and you want him to realize you want to be noticed in class, and you feel slightly left out.
Well, if you asked him for advice on email and he didn't answer, he probably doesn't feel comfortable giving you advice, unless it is for school..if it is for school ask him directly..but if it isn't he may not be the best person to ask advice from..and i know how you feel about not being in the teacher's group..your teacher will respond if you ask thoughtful questions about the material
