Dear Teachers, Don't Be Bullies

Same Bhai academic life was hell for me, as a student of class 6 I used to feel like a 9to5 office guy. I used to go for tuition directly from school. I remember each day like I have PTSD. I used to be average but the constant pressure from teachers and parents coz they used to spend a lot of money altogether crushed me. I tell my sister daily about my niece who's in class 3 now not to put any form of mental pressure on her. Her school is a scam, they teach stuff which are not even required for class 3, final and half yearly exams in the midst of festivals or a day prior to festivals clearly being done intentionally and what not, I literally fear for her..

I remember failing my Maths final exam class 11 by getting 9/40. I cried a lot when the papers were being distributed. My Maths teacher then took me to her room and explained me or I must say, counseled me. She said these papers should be framed so that you get motivated to not get this much the next time. I understood her words and she increased my marks to the passing marks. In the next unit test, that is in class 12, again I failed, and got 8/25. This time she was a little bit upset with my performance but still she consoled me, and increased my marks. In the terminal exam, I passed by 6 marks more than what is the passing exam. She was happy with my improvement. With her help (not tuitions), I got 21/25 in the next unit test and 91/100 in boards. After passing out, when I visited her, I came to know that she and one another teacher of my class used to discuss about my performance and they both were upset that despite trying very hard why I was not able to improve. I'll remember her forever for what she did for me, how she motivated me, how she guided me. Thanks to her

Teachers literally destroyed my self worth and made me emotionally shut down as I was very sensitive. Always been a social misfit, never had one single peer at school or college who'd confide their secrets to me and be close to me. This made me never to be vulnerable to anyone and I had pushed away the only girl who was getting emotionally close to me. Messed up parent, a workaholic and emotionally un-attuned father. A straying mother with daddy issues, who was narcissistic and physically mentally abusive towards me. If there was one thing that I started carrying from childhood that I'm unable to put down, that'd be shame. Shame of witnessing and being present while mother engaged in intimacy adultery outside marriage, while being passive and unable to act what I wanted to and confused. Ashamed of disappointing my parents by being an academic failure and being socially unrecognised. Ashamed that I've never had the "normal" social life everyone else had. Ashamed of being seen as the evil woman's child, and ignored by many of my relatives, living alone in a nuclear family. Things got less intense after my primary school. Mom and dad spent more time, but never attuned to my sensitivity or even acknowledged my sensitivity. Always wanted a child, who acts like a man. I'm still carrying that shame, and it's not something you can discard just like that. Grow up, man up, take responsibility. Always felt like I was responsible for all the shitty things others did to me, and it was my responsibility to not make them tell me unworthy things. Shame isn't some label that can be removed off the forehead. You can't make your body produce insulin when diagnosed with diabetes just by yelling , "just make more insulin". F the world.

I have never disclosed it to anyone in my life till now. How relatable your story is! It's hard to pen this down right now but I want to. I have always been a slow learner and I was mostly good in learning languages but not maths. So my maths teacher would always shame me for being poor in maths. On this unfortunate day, I couldn't solve a sum in the class and how she chose to punish me.. I still get shivers to this day. She asked me to go to every student's desk in the class and asked those students to slap me for not being able to solve the sum. Some of the boys and girlt hesitated to slap me and when she saw that some students were not slapping me harder she would ask them to slap me even harder. This was brutal.

Once, a certain Professor in an elite institution reprimanded a student in our GIS class. The student was from a poor background and didn't have his own laptop. The Professor's exact words were: "Why are you even doing this degree if you don't have a computer" ? And this elite institution had computer labs with all the facilities. So yes, teachers are cruel and they are the real bullies. Sad reality of our institutions.

People say school days are your golden years. But for me my school and college years were horrible. I cannot help but get enraged by the memories of the teachers i had back then. Teachers nowadays are much better trained and have been restricted in their conduct with kids. Thankful that my kids will never have to go through the same that i did. Worthlessness actually came from school days for many of us here.

[@hkhitter00]

I was bullied too, by my parents, teachers and peers. I had my mental breakdown at a later stage of school due to a certain teacher. Fighting Anxiety and Depression for 15+ years now, to no avail. The only thing that kept me going were the few who did acknowledge me. I even tried to commit suicide once, and realized I am a coward to do even that. Its been over a decade now and I am a teacher myself at this point, constantly encouraging my students for even teensy bit of effort they make, be it a failure in the end. I do not want my students to go through what I went through

[@nandinick365]

Almost 80% my story. For the teachers, “good child” simply meant academically brilliant; and if you are academically not good, automatically it translated to bad, insincere, lazy etc and yes, “shaming”, “character killing”, “scape goating” were all part of the parcel. Many of us survived the education system just because of some angels like the Class 9 teacher mentioned here. Now I am a teacher myself and I try focusing on “how not to be” than “how to be” aspects, so that I am not becoming yet another ‘bully’ in the list.

My mother abandoned me and my father. My teacher stood me up to say this is what happens in their community, they give birth to children and move on.

Thanks Mansi Poddar for voicing the opinion of millions of Indians (particularly introverts) who have been through your journey and survived the Indian "Education System" over a decade of schooling. I understand that RTE Act bars teachers / schools from inflicting corporal punishment to students, but I am told it isn't implemented in letter or spirit in most schools. The primary purpose of education is to identify the innate talent in each child and then hone it to enable the child to get the best shot at leading a successful and fulfilling life. We are a long long way off from this objective.

[@jaybirdfly149]

Indians hate introverts. I enjoy my alone time and spend some of it, doing creative things like writing, drawing and cooking. I also started going to gym to take better care of my body. Because I don’t barge into houses and be social, I’m always branded as the “unfriendly” and “quiet” person everywhere I go. My sister has social anxiety and struggles speaking to people. She is also hated for that and severely misunderstood.

I'm also one of those people who had a rough time in school myself and I'm honestly glad it is over now. I've seen so many examples of the teachers who were utterly selfish, and had favouritism of children (who took their tuition after school) and didn't teach properly in school but in the extra classes. I don't respect most of the teachers as I'm an adult now. Well there certainly are a handful of teachers whom I respect from the bottom of my heart. My trauma is coming close to healing though, and I believe reminiscing about this is worthless. To everyone who has been through this, just let it go man. I'm not asking you to forgive them, cuz I haven't done that either. But if it haunts you and hurts you still, you are giving them the power over you. You aren't defined by your traumas. You are stronger than that. You are stronger than everything life has thrown at you. Stop holding onto that trauma, just tell it to "f$%k off" and stop bothering you.

I had a teacher who used to drag me by my uniform collar & try to strip me in classroom as punishment for not covering notebooks 😡.

My height was picked upon, she made comments on my appearance in front of the whole class. I thought it was normal. Growing up, it really wasn't.

No issues there, he didnt do hw n was punished but the tchr went ahead n took photographs n said I will send it to your parents. My son was so scared as he never had faced such punishment ever. But he came home n immediately told me about it. I hugged him n told him it's ok to goof up at times n I will handle the situation if the teacher complains.

Recently, I changed colleges. I'm in 12th grade now, and the teachers in my current school would just come and grab someone's hair and beat them with a long stick as if it were normal. When I asked my classmates, their reply was, "It's pretty normal; there's no surprise if you find a teacher slamming a student to the wall. It's a 'disciplinary action' to teach the right behaviour." Mental abuse is also very common. A teacher would sometimes, for no reason, make a student stand up and scold them as hell (seriously, the students would be minding their business), even going as far as talking about how their mothers ran away with another man, so the kids turned out like shit. Of course, some students comment on teachers, creating a ruckus, but these types of students are everywhere. The thing is, even if the teachers took extreme measures, the students did not change a bit. There have to be other measures for dealing with tough kids but these types of teachers are inflicting mental and physical pain on all the other students.

I was ignored for 4 years and got completely isolated from everyone and i deserved it for betraying my friend. I lost my communication skills, etc became introvert, stuttering while speaking et for like 7 years, i couldn't even talk to random person and with no friends. Classes only noticed when a teacher made fun of me / or a classmate made a joke, that was the only time i was noticed and i used to smile like a dumb child. I started discord from age 15 at 10th grade and my mentality got more ruined by the community and anime was helpful that time now i am 20 i am recovering myself hitting gym and i don't want that isolated, loneliness feelings and no one can ever call me skinny lol.

It is very much so, don't pay them any mind I was a good student till 7th and everyone was all over me, then in 8th i performed badly and then in 9th grade, knowing my marks, nobody payed me any mind and some who used to talk to me a lot, outright ignored me It was a time for me to reflect and think on what actually, and who actually mattered in life Looking back years later, 9th class was the best time of my life because after seeing all their behavior and making peace with it i could be myself and enjoy myself free from expectations for a while lol

If i do have to give you advice, practical advice would be: the world's too big, getting position in one school and fussing over it won't do you any good at all; do your best but ultimately keep eyes on your actual lifetime plan or target. Im in college and trust me when i see peers who sing so well not getting selected in Music Club, which has 2 rounds of selection, similar for other clubs and stuff. Yaha har doosra banda / bandi apne college ki topper all rounder hai. Every other person i tell you. 99 percent in cbse, 790/800 in CUET. The world's too small, itni small goals na rakho Emotional advice: no matter goals and status, life is just a natural phenomena, its just happens, like a tree is alive, grass is, so are you. Don't pressure too much. Life's too short to live with stress.

I think parents are to blame here, more than the teachers. Problem with our parents is that they see children as a means of fulfilling their own dreams, they want kids to make up for their own failures in life. This thinking will change in the coming days. Don't stress over marks. Once you start earning, no one is going to ask your marks. The relatives who critized me for getting 72/100 in hindi in 10 th boards, today ask me which subject/ course will be the best for their kids. Enjoy your studies, try to learn as much as you can, work on your personality and skills. getting average marks won't do any harm. Read more, read what you enjoy. I don't know your background but i would advise you to learn about money, business, investments and financial freedom. Getting a job should not be your goal. Being financially free and being able to do what you love is the real success. All the best buddy. :)

I was a mediocre dude throughout my school years.Not that i am dumb or something it's just I didn't find it worthy of any efforts I ever put so I just did bare minimum. There is no use of working hard unless you gain something.

[@Dogsoverpeople2000]

Unfortunately Indian school teachers really put down people with low grades

[@rupakanade2882]

Not just teachers but relatives are also bullies. I am the victim of such bullying. And 50 years old and still can feel that pain from inside.

The best thing I have ever seen on entire KZbin platform….. Literally best.

I was depressed and had silent anxiety attacks due to my teachers from 1st std to 10th std and looked emotionless it affected my marks and health but once I left the school I became popular, had strong personality but still suffered academically yet later my teachers felt I was extremely smart, witty but before 10th std my teachers thought I am retarded even told my mother.

I was a very skinny, dark skinned boy who has been bullied by other students and even teachers when I was in school. That severely damaged my self esteem and confidence. But there were some teachers who have been really kind and saw me for what I am beyond my skin color and weight. I only appreciate those students and teachers who bullied me for showing me the harsh realities of life.

[@shreyakumari-g9z]

honestly, dark skin is such a beautiful body feature, I am not saying this because I pity u but because dark skin is indeed beautiful. I hope u realize that, and not feel insecure

[@jahangirhussain1]

Being well dressed is all that matters

[@mavericksindiasolution959]

Thanks Mansi, you spoke the truth and even I had been through such bullying in my life. Is it only the students who bullies, no that's wrong, teachers do? Once I as in my third standard and on a chilling winter morning during the prayer meet, I was standing with my eyes closed and one of my teacher, hit me a slap just because I could not afford school's monogram sweater. So, horrifying it was.😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓

[@biskoot5163]

I feel so lucky to experience the good teachers more than the bad ones in my life. There were a few bullies tho. My parents have definitely been more of a bully for me than my teachers

[@preetireddy2797]

I literally dropped out of collage to join open schooling(home schooling), just to avoid bullying from teachers and students. It's a very serious issue in our society, but yet no one talks about it!

[@Niharika095]

I literally cried while watching this video.. cuz it just came with lot of flashbacks of bad memories and all the sufferings. No matter where I'm today and how much I try to move on.. it still haunts me.

[@kaushiki.sharma]

Thank God somebody spoke about it ❤ We really need people like her to speak honestly about such situations which are ruining so many lives. May god bless you Mansi , lots of love ❤❤❤

[@pinkydavid7761]

Thank you so very much for sharing...You are priceless Mansi

[@Rushabhps]

I couldn't agree more, I experienced the same. I couldn't recover completely even today. You are very brave to put out this. Bravo!
