What should I do about this? (1) I'm in 7th grade and my favorite teacher is a guy(I don't have a crush on him) but I love him in that family kind of way, and I don't know how to tell him. I know his family too because he goes to my church and I've known him since I was 11(I'm 13 now) because I started going to that church two years ago. And I'm jealous because my dad is boring and not fun and that teacher is though(he has a daughter and a son) so different than anyone else I know. Just... Awesome. (It's hard to explain) I hope you know what I mean! And how I could tell him I love him because you know how some dads love their own kids more but I mean I love this guy like a father and I know this is weird but I love him more than my own parents!!! Again, I hope you know what I mean and can help. And don't say that this question is stupid - everyone has their own problems and there is nothing wrong with this one.
