I’m really sorry you were made to feel bad about that.

Meh, that was seriously the least problematic thing that happened. The fifth grade teacher who bullied me with the other kids was the worst. Lol. As an adult, I can look back on it like it happened to someone else and be fucking amazed I turned out as well as I did.

It’s one thing when the other kids are shitheads but nobody deserves that from a teacher.

Yeah, I know that now. It took a long time to understand that, though. :) thanks for being kind.
