You can upload your projects to your device then download them onto a new profile.

Mee too!

You can download your projects and reupload them elsewhere. But also, it's unhealthy if your emotional status is tied to a volatile website that can do things like this (deleting accounts) so you may should take a break, like I did

Just put in your old account's bio, “Moved to (New profile name) follow me on that profile.”

Is the teacher closing the account? If not, here is proof that Scratch doesn't recycle old student accounts: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/OrbitingOranges/ still here after 10 years.

the account still exists but it doesnt mean that a person has access to it, it means that this account wont be allowed to be used anymore but everything stays up

You'll only lose your account if your class teacher ends your class in scratch. The scratch team doesn't close student accounts.
If your class is already over in real life, there's basically no reason to worry about your account being deleted.

In rare cases, Scratch Team can convert student accounts into normal accounts, but, it's extremely rare, also, your account was around for 2 years, so ur fine

Do NOT spam support tickets. That just makes it clogged and worse for everyone who has been trying to use Contact Us to get help.

What do you want to save from your original account?

If you just need the projects and there are too many to download manually, there's a tool that bulk downloads projects from the Scratch API (I'll link it if you need it).
If you need the followers, then just put on your current profile the name of your new account, and tell your friends to find you there.
If it's just the nostalgia/memory of your original account, there's really nothing to be done except learn to let go, maybe?

They won't delete it unless the teacher ends the class. I don't think you can leave the class.
DO NOT SPAM SUPPORT TICKETS
