A big problem in that equation too, is the fact that teachers when they see a kid like I was, do nothing to help, and sometimes partake in the bullying.
Was I an angel, certainly not... did I derserve that treatment as a 16 year old kid with a really messed up home life at the time.... not in a million years.

I certainly cannot fathom having to go through torture like that. However, I would wish to believe that it is the work of troubled individuals rather than "teachers in general."
I have devoted my very short career thus far to making sure students in my class are safe and free of this torturous feeling.
