Default Way back in Junior High....

I had a history teacher that discovered I turned bright red if he ever called my name. Well he decided it would be fun to use this and tease me infront of my whole class the whole year. I truly believe that this was my worst nighmare come true. He would call my name "Liiinnnnddddssseeeeyyy" and then look and smile at me and then laugh and "awww I made you blush. Look how red she is!!" He probably thought it was harmless. I on the other hand believe it threw my minor anxiety issues into overdrive and it still haunts me today even as a college student. My mom told me a few weeks ago that she remembers me crying and compaining about him and she should have called the school, well mom its a little too late for that! It makes me wonder if that whole senario hadnt happened if maybe I would be somewhat of a normal adult today.

I had the same experience in senior high with my biology teacher. There were two of us who blushed very easily and once he made our classmates make bets, which one of us will he make blush harder. Oh, how I hated him!!!

That's harsh. I had a teacher when i was about 14 who would embarrass me in front of the class. Everyone would be talking, and he would look at me and say something pathetic and sarcastic, like "Shutup, i'm sick of you talking", in front of the whole class, and i would crumble inside.. he also used to say things like, "i bet you go home and just go crazy don't you?".. argh. Once he told me to "talk" aswell. High school was hell.

Yeah, sometimes teachers think they're being funny but they're not.
I'll never forget my evil 1st grade teacher who decided to use me in her sentence to show what the vocabulary word "timid" meant but saying " (Insert my name) is timid." I remember everyone just looking at me and going "oh, we get what it means now."
I really do not like the word timid but it makes for a good alliterative username.

I think some of my teachers were as cruel as the students who bullied me. My gym teacher in elementary school would ask me "why don't you ever talk?" all the time. I also heard "Melissa why are you so loud?" from numerous teachers.
I was in band for three years in junior high. I had to do a clarinet solo in front of the class once. I was fidgeting and kind of messing with my hair before because I was so nervous. My teacher had this huge smirk on his face, rolled his eyes and mocked me by running his hand through his hair. And everyone was looking at me..I just wanted to die.

Or how about "dont talk to much!!" "Lindsey, dont act so excited" I had piano solos in high school and I would get so nervous in the middle that my leg would shake rapidly every time I lifted the peddle. Then I would mess up my solo cause I would be concentration on my leg and worrying that people noticed...
