A sub called me to the front of the class while we were lining up for lunch to shame me for my atrocious handwriting in 4th grade.

She had a big drawn out discussion with me about how "shameful" it was that I still wrote like that at my age.

Yes, she used the word shameful.

I still think about it when I try to write at 28 and it looks awful. I can't do anything about it despite trying my whole life.

Edit: this happened while the entire class was standing in front of the door single file waiting to leave for lunch, so there were no distractions. Everyone saw and heard everything.

Encouraged my bullies to keep it up, stood me up in class to talk about everything I did wrong on my book report, shook me like a ragdoll for not turning in my religion homework and hurt my neck. 5th-8th grades sucked big time

It was more what they didn't do. Back in high school, I got bullied. And one time, during a longer break, another student and me, we figured, we'd borrow a soccer ball from another student, without asking.

Well, when that student returned, of course, he'd take issue with it, not because there was an issue, but because I was involved. And the other student who played ball with me, the spineless traitor, started lying that it was entirely my idea to grab the ball.

The teacher did a whole intervention thingy, sitting the whole class down to talk about this, without realizing that:

• It's a fucking non-issue. Even if I had destroyed that ball, just buy a fucking 'nother.
• Of course, I did not fucking come to the idea to take a ball without someone else who also wanted to play.

I didn't get punished or anything. But that teacher, being an adult and all, should have realized that it's absolute horseshit and should have had my back.
