it shouldn’t matter. i graduate high school soon.
maybe i’m just a teacher’s pet but i like when my teachers praise or congratulate me. i’m a big choir kid and i really crave approval from my choir teacher. I’ve been in one of my school’s audition choirs since freshman year, and i also help with my school’s theatre program (which she manages).
i feel like she doesn’t like me, though, and it hurts. to be fair, I’ve had a few irresponsible moments, but my track record in choir has been mostly great.
she’s used me as a bad example BY NAME, and was condescending toward me in front of others. its to the point where other students texted me about it and was like “yeah that’s weird of her..” one of my friends thinks its rude, but she (the friend) thinks that maybe the teacher thinks I’m easy to pick on.
once i was volunteering at a play and she came in. when i greeted her, i got a quick “hi” before she sped off to the more “popular” volunteers.
i don’t often see her do that to other students. I’m not “friends” with her like some of the “popular” students are, but I’m still respectful towards her, so idk.
maybe she gets weird/bad vibes from me? i got really mentally ill between 10th and 11th grade and my body language started coming off as anxious and very insecure, so maybe thats it? i got quieter too, but i still was kind, participated in class, and interacted with people. idk.
she usually congratulates those in my choir who win awards; i recently won a couple at a huge local uni and had my name on the morning announcements, but she said nothing. yet, yesterday she congratulated a girl (not one of the “popular favorites) in my choir for an award she got. I’m happy for the girl, dont get me wrong, but what does she have against me??
maybe i have too much self-importance but it just really hurts.

screw her! your accomplishments speak for themselves. she’s likely jealous of your success at such a young age. do NOT take it personally
I’m so sorry. i was bullied by a teacher in highschool, he was a favorite amongst the popular kids and it got to his head. He genuinely acted like a highschooler and was the most insecure and pathetic man I’ve ever met. This guy literally joined in on the bullying to look “cool” to the popular kids. Even though I knew he was a loser it still hurt like hell, it made the mental health I struggled with even worse. He’d go to my mom and whine about how “mean” I was because I’d avoid him for obvious reasons.
Her behavior towards you says nothing about you and instead everything about her. If she is being this cruel to a student based on “vibes” she is an immature POS. She is a bully and I highly suggest going to a school counselor to talk about this. Please don’t let her behavior make you feel bad about yourself. She is a grown ass woman picking on a child who is struggling.
It’s unfortunate, but it happens. It’s not you, she’s just made up her mind about you before actually getting to know you.
