Worse - Heaven 17.
I once told my English teacher to "sod off", he was a Scouser and they're known for their weird sense of humour, but then a while later he had a go at me for shouting at him.
And even worse, I once told the Head of the "Unit" to "Kiss my arse!", if looks could've killed I wouldn't be here posting this now! But she was a "Dragon Lady" anyway and that's being kind.
Another time, I got shouted at because of the following conversation:
Religious education teacher: So the Virgin Mary gave birth to a son...
Me: So if she was a virgin, how come she gave birth to a son?
Instead of attempting to explain it to me, he just shouted at me for being rude. But I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just pointing out what I saw as a flaw in the story.
Later when she was done torchering me, letting others torcher me, and was leaving she said... she wished I had died the day I was born, and she hates the air I breathe..
When young our personalities can soak up the negative messages from our parents.
Part of how personality forms soaking up the negative and positive projections from those around us.
Our job is to separate that neagtivity from our adult selves and not pass it on further.
Said? I have no idea, but I do remember one special ed teacher who would goad me into meltdowns, which everyone thought and probably still thinks were temper tantrums. There was another autistic person he would do the same thing to, and I'd just have to watch him do it, then watch him beat her, and not really understand what he was doing at the time, never mind having the social skills to actually call him on it. This was not "restraining for the safety of others and blah blah blah" no, he had a smile on his face from start to finish, a smile I only recognize today as pure evil. He was doing it for fun.
And I'm supposed to trust authority after that? Sad thing is I did because I didn't know anything else but trusting adults.
Of course, now that I do have the social skills the statute of limitations has passed, and last I hear he still has that job, 18-some-odd years later. It makes me legitimately sad to think of how many autistic people he abused after me and that girl; he started his reign with me, that I know, so I guess I was his practice or something. I've still got lasting bodily injury from that guy.
Any time he would go too far he would just lie to my parents; any obvious physical injury I had he just said I was "faking for attention" or that I did to myself during a "tantrum" and told my parents the best thing is to ignore it. So I also lost a lot of faith in my parents when I was just walking around with what I didn't know then to be lasting physical trauma, as my parents just stayed silent as I tried to tell them what happened.
Those years really screwed me up; I was a happy child and a very damaged everything-from-that-point-forward.
We need an ERASE (DELETE) button in our heads... : )
They're working on that. I don't know who "they" is or what exactly "that" is, but I know they're working on it specifically for the purpose of erasing traumatic memories. I don't know, I'm not holding my breath, but some such technology sure would be nifty, I tell ya hwhat.
I had this one teacher in high school I hated. When I got a scholarship to college she didn't seem to believe me. Also, I had been in her classes for 2 years and always got A's. One time I was on a med that gave me urinary incontinence as a side effect so I kept going to the bathroom so she yelled at me for missing her class too much and sent me to the principal's office. Luckily the principal was understanding so things worked out.
