Your teacher probably won't be your best friend. Your teacher can be someone who you can learn from (life lessons, not academic lessons), but you won't be going to the mall with them (professionally, they could lose their job if they did that).
To create a student/teacher friendship with your teacher, take a genuine interest in the subject that he or she teaches. Teachers can tell when you are sucking up to them and they don't like it. Don't constantly pester the teacher or bother them at bad times - this will only drive the teacher away from you.

I'm sorry, but while your teacher may be friendly, your teacher will never (or should never) be your friend, at least while you are a student. One reason is that the teacher needs to treat you in a professional manner, in a hierarchical relationship: the teacher assigns homework, detention, grades, etc. Would your friends ever assign you a grade? Secondly, if your teacher was your friend, and not every student's friend, then the teacher may be inclined to treat you better than the other students, which is not fair to you or them. On the other hand, if your teacher is being especially unfriendly to you, then you have an issue. For, now, just enjoy the class, and wait until you graduate before trying to strike up a true friendship.

And you want this because...? What is your motivation?
If you are just trying to get a better grade, suck it up and do the work. You don't mention your age, but in most elementary and secondary schools,some colleges too, a teacher could lose his/ her job if suspected of being too friendly with a student. There is a possibility of a conflict of interest. Other students may think that you really didn't earn a good grade etc.
I have been a teacher for more than 30 years. A teacher always walks a fine line between being caring and professional and becoming too involved with a student. I am still in contact with many of my students, but few have progressed to the first name basis and that only years after they left my classroom or of they knew me in another context such as a niece, nephew , or other family member.
Ask yourself what you really want and why?

Try to help her out in lil ways... like say for example:
If she drops some papers and shes like "aw shitinmyboot", why not try and pick them up for her.
Also if she is very careless try and remind her of things like for example:
One of my teachers always brings her coffee mugs to school so she could drink coffee, then sometimes she forgets to bring them back to her house so then she has no cup o joe for the next morning! But if you remind her at the end of the day she well say thank GOD!
It all depends on the teachers attitude also, if the teacher doesn't care about the student then you shouldn't really care about the teacher either.

Your teacher can not be your best friend. Best friends call each other and go out together and spend the night at each others houses. Your teacher would get fired for that.
There are rules for teachers. They are not allowed to have close relationships with their students.
So, if she is "being your friend" it is not because of you, but because she can't. Try to make friends with someone your own age. You will be glad.

Teachers don't want to be your best friend. They will be caring and giving but this is not a social circle. Its a classroom.

You can't make anyone be your best friend. Friendship develops naturally.

She isn't supposed to be your friend, she is supposed to be your teacher.
