writes:My chorus teacher (who I'm in love with, but forget about that right now) is the reason why I'm still here today. I was suicidal in eighth grade and was going to follow through with it if ninth grade didn't go well. Obviously since I'm in twelfth grade I'm still alive, and all thanks to my teacher. He has no clue he made every day worth living for me.I'm not looking to be with him, but should I tell him he saved my life? How would I go about doing so without seeming too strange and/or sketchy?

Maybe you can tell him how he changed your life but having a relationship or trying to date him is not a good idea he can lose his job! I know your a senior but don't go that far yet just tell him what a impact he's made on your life

this guy is obviously worthit if he was inspirational enough to stop you killing yourself, hang in there hun, if it's meant to be it will happen eventually. i wish you all the luck in the world xxx

 write him a note, dont tell him that you love him and thats why he made your life worth living (it will come off wrong) tell him just that he has changed your life with his attitude and any other good characteristics about him that you might want to include in the note. Its easier to write out feeling then to flat out say it to their face. Think about some reasons how your chorous teacher is a good person and why he means so much to you. Then simply write them down. Keep it neat and get to the point=]
hope i helped you out=]
take care && good luck!
