I was harassed by a teacher and my friend laughed at me because of it and now I’m just not feeling great. Not sure why teachers “have to be right”. I guess they’ve got to prove everyone wrong because they obviously know EVERYTHING.

That is not professional. They do not know what they are doing. Teachers have power. You can compliant to maybe the principal. I have alot of bad expericens with teachers. I went to school all my life.

Is this teacher younger or older? Some lack patience...and they should lift students spirits not ridicule them....My son had a science teacher who wrote on his report card he was headed for disaster...I changed schools the next year..Surprise..his new science teacher said he was a joy to have in the class room. and gave him a A....Can you handle it for a few more months...Do you have a counselor at school you could talk to?..Remember you have self worth and don't let anyone rob you of your joy....

Bullying or in your teachers case a gross misuse of power can and will make us sad; and it's unacceptable behavior for a person in trusted with authority. Please for your own emotional health shake off those negative comments and remember--- “For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.” Philippians 4:13

I'm so,sorry this happened to you Sweetie. Please don't put all teachers in this category. There are many good ones who care very deeply for their students. Blessings.

I went to a very bad school with very lazy teachers. I remember correcting teachers all the time and they would punish me. For awhile I would go home and look up in a dictionary or encyclopedia that they were wrong and take the book to school and show them and demand they correct their teaching. This eventually stopped working, so in highschool I just sort of shut down as a person and stopped caring.
Please don't let that happen to you. College is better. Always try hard and eventually you can go on to a better school that is more suited to your tastes and talents and you will make friends and love your teachers.

Teachers don't have the right to harass you. Sorry you went through that. I would steer as clear of this teacher as you possibly can. There are some good ones out there. If this teacher continues to harass you, you might consider reporting them to the school administration. Good luck.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
