Idk how to start this story but basically it has been a decade since I graduated from secondary school, and I was bullied by a department of teachers who really screwed with me mentally, one teacher in particular kept purposely losing my homework and was against me just because she didn’t want to accept that I wanted to practice math instead of her subject even tho I was getting distinctions for her subject and failing math months before O level. There were so many personal incidents with her but no one had the balls to call my parents because they knew they were straight up bullying an 16 year old and will get in trouble if my parents were involved. I never told my parents because I didn’t want trouble, shit would’ve hit the fan hard.
She was in my suicide note. I didn’t do it because I had 2 other teachers counsel me and TLDR, they saved young me from doing something stupid and irreversible.
I’m going to go back as a distinguished alumni soon and I want to personally thank the teachers who saved me. But I also have half a mind to confront the entire department of teachers when I get there. I’m not mature enough to let it go. I almost died because of them and I want them to live with that fact. Whether they have the heart to care or not, I don’t care. I just want them to know they nearly killed someone, whatever reflection, introspection, emotion that comes after is their own problem.
10 years late, but I will confront them nonetheless. If you’re a student currently being bullied by your teachers, don’t give up. Stand up for yourself if you can. They are not gods, nor naturally deserving respect because they are our teachers. They are not worth giving up your life for. Work hard, things will get better.
And revenge is a dish best served cold. Mine has been cooling for 10 years.
