Student vs Bully How dare she judge me like that? How can she be so cruel? She always calls me stupid. Stupid. I’m a straight A student. I stop trying and she accuses me of being stuck up. Me stuck up. How stupid can you get? She has an ATITUDE not me. She laughs. A cruel hollow laugh that leaves you feeling empty How can I face her now? She makes me feel so worthless, so weak Every time she says my name I feel sick Why is she treating me like this? What have I done? I am going into the lesson with a sense of dread and it steadily gets worse. We are working on a monologue in drama. I am really struggling with it. She grabbed the monologue from me. She starts to pick my monologue to pieces saying ‘This is Rubbish’ ‘This is RUBBISH’ She then tears my work up. Everyone was in hysterics. I was distraught. I couldn’t take it any more so I ran out of class What am I going to do? If I go back I am going to be in so much trouble but if I stay I will also get into trouble How can I go back? She will still call me stupid and laugh at me for being so weak. What about the others? Are they laughing at me? Or are they going to be supportive? I have to make a decision. I can’t. I would love to get revenge however it’s not that simple I’m Just a STUDENT. She is a TEACHER!!!! |
