Sometimes it can be embarassing to ask for advice from a teacher, parent, friend or neighbour, but you still need advice. Whilst I can't promise to solve all your problems, I will always try to answer questions to the best of my ability.
So...got problems?

There's this kid in my school. He's like a best friend to me. But he told me he likes me. I don't want us not to be friends anymore. But I don't like him like that. He's like a brother to me. But I don't want to tell him that I don't like him. I don't want to break his heart. What should I do? Please help!

Even though it seems like a terrible thing to do, you're going to have to make it clear to him that you don't return the feeling, otherwise you'll just be stringing him along. Obviously he'll be upset, but he'll thank you for it in the long run, and you'll know that it's the right thing to do.
However, just because you have to tell him this, it doesn't mean that you have to break his heart. Tell him how much he means to you as a friend, and he may even find that he's confused feelings of friendship with love. He may need time to recover, but promise to be there for him and show him how you prefer to be friends with him.
It'll be tough at first, but the alternative is allowing him the slow and grim realisation that, actually, you're just not interested, and I'm sure you wouldn't want that!
