 How to find out why your teacher is sad? 17/f 
So my teachers about 26 (female) and she's my favourite teacher and one of my role models.ive noticed something's off with her lately and first thought she was mad at me but then noticed she's like that with everyone (and a girl in my class also noticed) and I saw today when walking past her class she seemed upset and was by herself. she's usually such a happy person and she's really sweet. I know it's not my place or job cause im just her student but how do I find out what's going on or how to help somehow cause I can't just ask her what's wrong cause she's not my friend she's my teacher

  Hello dear, I answered your previous question about being mad. You are a caring person, being so concerned about others, and probably more observant than others as well. In case anyone tells you not to get involved as its not your business, I've heard plenty stories of people who were contemplating suicide because they thought no body cared and just a friendly gesture from one person turned their life around. It probably isn't that drastic so don't panic, but here's a few ideas for you. 
 
To make things easier to say something, state the obvious first as it changes the energy behind your question from being nosy to being caring and your teacher is more likely to feel good about your concern for her rather than irritated or something else. 
"I know it's non of my business, and I may be sensing this wrong,(or say 'seeing something that is not there') but for a few days, it seems to me like you are not your usual self, like more sad or blue. Are you okay? I ask because I really like you and am concerned. 
 No matter if she reveals anything or not, bring her an inexpensive gift, like a candy bar or visit a dollar store and pick up Halloween decoration, like one of those cute solar powered dancing/moving characters, cus I smile every time I look at the one my husband got for me for fun, a dancing scarecrow. You doing just all that is enough to help her. 
You could also tell her about advicenators in case she is struggling with something but doesn't want others to know. You can let her know she will be anonymous as well as those here who give their advice back. In fact getting a blank card and simply saying you noticed she isn't herself lately  so  in case she is dealing with something hard or sad, you'd like her to know about advceators.com ,a free advice site in case she'd like to gain more perspective and point of views for whatever she is dealing with. 
Blessings to you hon.  ]
