I Wish My Teacher Knew

[@fprospere]

A message that every teacher should be willing to understand

[@aishaabdirahman4360]

I wish my teacher knew I truly try. that I'm not dumb cause I face social anxiety. them embarrassing me in front of the class makes me feel and look stupid. I get all As I do my homework and notes. I just can't talk in front of class. I wish my teacher knew that I care and try and I'm not stupid, though I look like it

[@meganruhnke3962]

Aisha Abdirahman um don't say that you look stupid cuz you don't and aren't. I understand and maybe you should let your teacher know about your anxiety. All I can tell you is that when you grow up I hope you are able to cope with your anxiety and find different ways to help keep your anxiety at bay. If you keep up the good grades then you will go far and don't let your illness hold you back from who you truly are.

[@dominique9597]

Unipie I'm so sorry for everything that happened to you, hopefully things will get better in the future, it may be hard and it may take some time, but don't give up and keep walking, the road might be blurry,but it's still a road, and I'm sure your friend is missing you, but try in your own time to live a life full of better stories to tell them when your time here comes to an end. And good luck on living...

I wish my teachers knew. How to put aside work and let everyone calm down. Some kids have mental illnesses. Some have mass anxiety/stress. Some have problems at home. Some are depressed. Some are bullied and want to die. Some aren't as smart as others, or are smarter. Some need help. Some don't want to be there. I wish teachers would stop acting like robots and actually see that the people they teach are humans too. I wish they could see that some of us do know what we want to do in life, and don't want you to shove our dreams into the dirt like they're nothing. Why can't my teachers accept what me and my classmates want to do? Arists, Doctors, Game designers, Musicians ect. We're being told to be things we don't want to. Why can't teachers accept our choices in life?

i wish my teacher knew that homework they give us takes us longer then they think. i wish my teachers knew that if you tell us to join after school activity's,clubs and have a social life they succulent give us 1h of homework for every lesson because we still need to sleep and relax,spend time with our family and friends. i wish my teachers knew that some of us cant talk in front of the entire class or the teacher itself because of anxiety and that its not an excuse and that it is an actual illness i wish my teacher knew that my parents split up wen i was 2 years old and i can only see my mom on holidays and 1 every year she gets a plane to were i live and stay with me for 1 week but i cant spend a lot of tie with her because i have 2(or more) hours of homework everyday and i do them at the last second cuz i wanted to spend time with her that is why they are done very poorly. i wish my teachers knew they worent helping me but making me more depressed about myself and make me cry every night because i cant reach the standard grade for someone my age also i always do the best i can. i with my teacher knew there are 24h in a day 6 or them are tend in school (18h left) we need sleep so 6 of them are of us sleeping(12h), some of us have after school activities so about 2 hours(10h), then we have clubs so another 2 hours gone(8h), then we have homework withc most of the clsses are die then next day so 5 h, then we have to eat so 2h and that ives us with hour left so dont expect us do do he extra home work yu have us in that 1 hour that we have left

[@lunawolff4358]

Most people have to sleep at least 8 hours. I'm SO SORRY for you I want to cry

[@meganruhnke3962]

Omg if teachers were to know everything about their student's personal life they would die of being so overwhelmed. Teachers have a life. We all have a life. But school is about education. It's about learning and getting your work done it's not a therapy session. If there is something going on in your life that is interfering with your school work then yea maybe your teacher should be notified. Like if there is a divorce or a death or anything of that matter. You have to know that teachers aren't your therapists. If you a serious problem then speak with your guidance counselor and they can do something about it that's what they are there for.

[@ihateyou3557]

I wish my teacher knew that some people have mental illnesses and can't patricipate in class

[@daphnethepsycho7508]

your profile picture in going to make me cry

[@meganruhnke3962]

Emo Dinosaur what? I think every student can participate in their own way. Like I have anxiety which makes it ten times harder to speak in front of the class but there are probably other ways I could contribute. All because you have a mental illness doesn't mean you can't do your work like everyone else. I'm sorry but it doesn't give you special privileges to not pull your weight like everyone else. There are different alternatives. There is a girl who has autism in my school but she still goes to class everyday even though she could have an outburst at anytime. I bet she has to work a lot harder in order to participate in class but she still does it and doesn't let her illness define her. If you have a mental illness or feel like you might have one then go to a mental health professional to receive professional help. Stop victimizing yourself because it's not going to make yourself feel better. Getting help and working on coping in a healthy way will make you be able to function in society.

[@krazykate2214]

Megan ruhnke omg just stop. Stop trying to knock others down who are alreayd down just so you can stand on top of them to seem cool. Yes some of us do actually had mental illnesses and that includes me so please just stop!

[@purplefry1752]

megan ruhnke Your anxiety must not be that bad because it isn't just something you can 'cope with' it's not that easy. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and it is hard sometimes to get out of bed and it takes so much effort just reassure myself​that everything will be okay. You must not have it that bad since you try to hurt people who are already down. In fact you might be lying for all we know at the fact that you show no sign of sympathy or remorse. This isn't fantasy land this is real life now either you can stay in your fantasy where everybody functions normally or you can wake up and realize that some people suffer from a mental illness that is so hard to live with that you don't even remember what it's like to be happy. That everyday is a struggle and you think everyday why shouldn't I just kill myself I'm already a failure anyway. How about you stop acting like a sociopath and start acting like a real human being that has emotions. Don't talk about something that you don't understand. I have seen counciling for 3 years and I am just now seeing signs of getting better. You can't just tell someone to stop being depressed it doesn't work that way. Does my depression and anxiety define me no but sadly it is a huge part of me. I am getting through I am functioning but it gets hard there are days where I just want to stop walking, to stop breathing because sometimes it just gets to damn hard. Do not belittle someone's mental illness. You aren't helping them by hurting them with your words you are just hurting them more and making them go deeper in that black hole that is so hard to climb out of. Don't yell at them and tell them to just get out of that hole but throw them a life line let them know that someone is there to help, someone who will listen and help you. People like you who are so ignorant to mental illnesses but act like you understand everything about them makes me very sad and disappointed. Please open your heart, do some more research on anxiety and depression. I wish that the things that you say I could do easily but it isn't that simple. Participating in class can be one of the hardest things you can do. Have I done it? Yes, but it was so difficult and so exhausting that I would come home mentally exhausted and cry. Then when my dad came home I would hear the same thing "You don't understand what it's like to work hard." but I do I really do. I almost killed myself twice but I didn't do it. I wish it was that simple to get better. Also I have autism and it pretty much hightens my depression and anxiety. You talked about a girl in your class that has autism that always participates but not everyone is like that girl. Don't just categorize everyone because of one person you know. I truly do wish you the best and hope that you take my words to hear. Thank you.

[@fatherpeggy]

I wish my teacher knew my fears are real to me. My teacher should know I try my best, but sometimes I'm so scared I just can't. I have pretty bad anxiety, and I have many fears, including bugs and clouds. One time in grade school, I was in the office crying because I was scared to go outside, and a teacher was yelling at me saying I couldn't come into the office just to get out of going outside. I would always stand by the door and wait to be let in. I wouldn't want to talk to other kids, I just wanted to get back inside. I ran into the bathroom and locked myself in one time because my 4th grade teacher said we were going to have a unit about bugs. She took me into the hallway and said I could either go back to the classroom or get a zero for the day. That was the first zero I ever got in school, and the last one currently. My parents have suspected I have anxiety since at least 2013, but I just now an going to therapy for it. I've had panic attacks at school, and every time I have no idea what to do. One time I had one from 2nd hour to lunch, and it was one of the worst days I've had at my middle school. I'm worried I'll have another at school, and no one will know what to do or care. I'm in 7th grade, and I'm about to start the 4th quarter of the year. In just a few months I'll be considered an 8th grader, and I'm terrified. This just means harder classes, more homework, and more new people who's opinions of me I have no control over. I'm so scared that no one even cares about how I feel at school sometimes, that they're just acting and trying to make themselves look good. Every time I do poorly I beat myself up saying I'm a failure. It's hard, but I'm working on being better and trying not to worry so much. I hope I can control my emotions soon, but I know that's a basically a distant dream at the moment.

[@potatorat6594]

I wish my teacher knew that my parents split up and decided that I should move schools and move to a house far from my friends, I keep having to hear their fights and they always complain on how their wedding was a lie, and I cant believe i believed them all my life, I thought we were a perfect family, my mom has cancer too, that doesn't help at all, I have anxiety as well and its hard for me to make new friends because of it.

[@Ami-wt8fk]

I wish my teacher knew that my anxiety doesn't allow me to speak in front of the class, my depression inhibits me from having any energy whatsoever to do work. And when they tell me I'm not good enough it really effects me and how I see myself.

I wish my teachers knew that I feel like I do not belong in class anymore. I used to be part of the Honors but I recently flunked two major tests because I got disinterested with the elective subjects I previously assumed to be engaging. I give up easily because I want to save myself from wasting my time. Everyday, I ask myself the question, "Is it still worth going to class when I want to be somewhere else?" Sorry if I am venting here but this video really moved me because I can't help but be pessimistic with life. This video made my cry. I am 17 and I am scared of being 18 because I am not that resilient compared to others and I lose motivation often. I don't want to end up a failure. I want to be rich and help people. I want to open up a bank in the future, invest in the stock market, and own a business. I feel like none of those are happening because I am emotionally weak and fragile.

I wish my teachers knew that whenever I go to the bathroom every 5 minutes it's not because I want to avoid class; it's because I have social anxiety and we're forced to work in a group of five people the entire 4 hours we're in her class. Sometimes it overwhelms me and I just need some place to calm down rather than being yelled at for leaving too much. I wish they knew that when they catch me crying that what I'm telling them is barely a fourth of the full story and that I need someone to talk to. Most of all I wish they knew that my sisters verbally abuse me at home, my dad doesn't come home until 2 am and he leaves at 5 am, and my mom can't do a lot around the house since she has severe knee issues so I'm left to cook and clean and do all my work for myself with the amount of assignments and homework that's due and sometimes it's super stressful

i wish my teachers knew that i have mental problems and suffer from PTSD

[@alexanderstrindberg6516]

I wish my teachers knew I battle depression and anxiety. I wish my teachers knew that I sometimes skip P.E, not because I don't like the subject but because I don't want the other students seeing the scars on my hips. I wish my teachers knew I'm not lazy, sometimes I'm not able to do the homework because i can't get out of bed. I wish my teachers knew the reason I'm yawning in their class isn't because I don't like it, but because I haven't had a proper nights sleep since last vacation. I wish my teachers knew that I miss school sometimes because not eating or sleeping makes me too sick too go too school, but many days I go anyway, overdosing on pain medication because my head feels like it's going to explode I wish my teachers knew the reason I say I don't know an answer when they call my name in class isn't because I'm stupid but because I don't want to have a panic attack in class because I have to talk in front of many people. I wish my teachers knew I'm not okay, and I'm not alone. Edit 5 months later They know, not all of if, but they know. They’re trying to help, I know they are, but at the same time all I have energy to do is lay in bed. My teacher still doesn’t know about the self harming, or about how I’m suicidal. They still don’t know about that I almost never go to school anymore, but it’s not because i don’t want to. My teachers doesn’t know that telling me that I shouldn’t skip class just makes it worse.

[@wwkcd7657]

I wish my teachers knew we aren't robots. I wish they knew I have 4 mental disorders, not including depression. I wish they knew I've given up on my grades because I've never been encouraged to do better. I wish they knew that I have legit triggers and you force me to be around them daily. I wish my teachers knew that my gender identity is not for them to decide. I wish my teachers knew that while I am working on their curriculum, I'm thinking of my suicidal friend, 2000 miles away. I wish my teachers knew that the reason my elbows are on my desk is so my palms can cover up evidence of sleepless nights. I wish they knew I have attempted my homework, but the only lines written were in the wrong place. I wish they knew my dad works 16 hours a day only to come home, get drunk and leave at 6 am the next morning. I wish they knew that I haven't slept in 3 days. That I don't eat breakfast or dinner. That I spend my study halls at my locker texting my mom who refuses to use the correct pronouns. That I've given up on myself. I wish my teachers knew my life doesn't revolve around school.

[@Amanda-sq7bd]

I wish my teacher new that anxiety and depression don’t just go away at the blink of an eye, and that them yelling at me doesn’t help me at all.

[@iloves0up]

I'm also crying over this video because the only teacher that understood what I'm going through left the school to go to another school and the new teacher for that class is super rude and gives me really bad anxiety. I just want my old teacher back and I miss her so much. My old teacher was so nice and she helped me bring up my grades. She knew that I needed extra time to do work and needed extra help because I'm a slower learner than the other kids. She was the only teacher that understood what I was and still am going through. When I get back from winter break its going to feel so weird without her and the new teacher is going to change the room up so much making all the old and happy memories go away. I wish my old teacher didnt leave. She understood everything because she went through it too. She understood how hard it can be for me to do work. But now with the new teacher im gonna have to build the walls back up that my teacher slowly brought down because she got to know me and made me actually feel safe in her class. I don't wanna go back to school with the new teacher. I just want my old teacher back.

[@illybell8180]

"I wish my teacher knew I do actually attempt my homework. I just accept the zeros because I get discouraged when they say they don't want incomplete homework." THIS THOUGH I wish my teachers knew that most days it's hard to get out of bed because I don't sleep well for reasons that not even my doctors can figure out. I wish my teachers knew that my depression makes me very unmotivated and that's why I don't try hard in class. I wish my teachers knew that I HAVE depression, and I don't expect to live to see graduation so my grades don't matter anyway. I wish my teachers knew that I have a hard time being around and talking to other people and group projects make me utterly terrified. I wish my teacher knew that we don't have extra money for school materials and that severely effects how well I can do my work at home.

i wish my teacher knew how amazing she is and how much she has had an impact on my life - not all teachers are bad. She's the BEST

[@hannahlack1061]

I wish my teacher knew that I started failing because I missed a lesson for a hospital appointent which made me have panic attacks and suicidal thoughts in every lesson. I wish he knew thats why I cried in every lesson and thats why I made a noose out of my lanyard and laid it on the desk every lesson where he could see it. I wish he knew that I wanted help but due to my social anxiety I can't talk to people unless they approach me about it first. I wish my teacher knew that when he asked what was wrong and I said everything I didn't mean just in maths. I wish that he had told another teacher because he must have noticed. Surely? But it's too late because I failed that year and they wouldnt let me resit and that teacher left our school and now I'm stuck pigeon holed into a future I don't want.

[@thetryhardz5457]

I wish my teacher new i never get good sleep and always get stress

[@mooncatcherr4267]

I wish my teacher knew I have a life outside of school

[@TeenyTonnie]

I wish my teacher knew that my anxiety is very real. That I'm getting it taken care of with a therapist. That when I'm having a panic attack, calling me out *won't make it better.* I wish my teacher knew that haphephobia combined with a crowded school don't exactly mix. I panic in the hallway when someone brushes by me. I haven't brought it up with anyone but my closest friends, because fear of touch sounds like the silliest thing. I wish my teacher knew that I work while being creative and if I don't answer a question blandly and like a robot, it hurts to see points taken off all because I didn't say exactly what the textbook says. It's like telling me I can't be myself. I'm still answering the question correctly. I wish my teacher knew that I'm not being abused at home. In fact, home is my safe place. It's the school that's the problem. I wish my teacher knew that I don't know if I'm being overdramatic or if it's all real. I wish my teacher knew that public humiliation doesn't help. I wish my teacher knew that I doodle on my work. It happens. It's off to the side, the doodles aren't messing up any work. I wish my teacher knew I already know something is wrong with me. I don't know what, and I don't know how to handle it. I wish my teacher knew I struggle to even raise my hand when I'm confused. I wish my teacher knew that sometimes I fake illnesses so I don't have to face that day. I wish my teacher knew that I cry a lot but it's not for attention. Sometimes bottles burst. I wish my teacher knew about my sociophobia, social anxiety, and haphephobia. That I truly want to take care of it, but I don't know how to confront someone about it. I wish my teacher knew that art class is the only thing I go to school for. It's the only thing I enjoy. I wish my teacher knew that I genuinely want to do my work, but it's like something bigger is holding me back. "You'll do at 6. Oh, it's 6... but you can wait til 6:30, right?" I feel like it's more than just procrastination. Maybe it is, maybe it isnt. I wish my teacher knew that just being around my best friend boosts my confidence. Separating us when we're paying attention and not even talking during class won't help. I wish that the principal and counselor knew that I'm not scared of the work my teacher hands out. When I said I'm scared of the teacher, I am in fact scared of the teacher.

I wish my teacher knew that my life isn't all rainbows and free of time for all their homework

[@avaxclairemsp8649]

My teacher showed us this in class (we are in 6th grade btw so it hit people hard) and I couldn’t stop crying because, I relate to a lot of these. After we watched this video we did it and I said “I wish my teacher knew I have bad anxiety. I’m going through depression, and I cut. It’s addicting but, it helps. Also, my parents are always fighting and smoking and I can’t take it anymore.” I really hope she sees it.

[@SnowWhite-tc5vr]

I wish my teachers knew I have disorders and a lot of things are wrong with me. I wish my teachers knew that I'm trying but since its hard to understand because I can't respond to things quickly or answer quickly. I wish they would be patient instead of saying forget it your being left behind.

[@jadajones5022]

[@livwhitehead8148]

I wish my teacher knew that although I’m rude and have an attitude, I don’t mean it. I wish my teacher knew I appreciate everything she does and that I truly am inspired by her. I wish my teacher knew that I want more attention from her, which is why I act stupid. I wish my teacher knew I feel uncomfortable with my birthmarks. I wish my teacher knew I fell uncomfortable with my height. I wish my teacher knew that I just want them to like me and praise me, make me feel like I can actually do it, and give me the love and care to inspire and encourage me as much as possible. I wish my PE teacher knew she’s my favourite teacher and when she looks at me I try my hardest so she can say “well done my lovlie” . Because when that say that I wish my teacher knew how happy that makes me...

[@talison7123]

I wish my teachers new that standing up in front of the class for a presentation doesn't always help for the future, were not thinking about the future, were thinking about the anxiety that builds up when we see classroom full of people staring at us.

[@erinisatree9970]

I wish my teacher knew that the reason why I'm self defensive is because the last time I let my gaurd down I was torn apart I wish my teacher knew that calling in me without my hand up isn't going to cure my anxiety I wish my teacher knew that I only have 20 minutes to myself at home before everyone screams and yells at each other and it's hard to focus on anything around me I wish my teacher knew that everyone in my family is dissapointed with me I wish my teacher knew just how cruel kids can be

[@ela5746]

i wish my teacher knew that when people, including you, laugh at me (even if it's light hearted) makes me feel overwhelmed and horrible i wish my teacher knew i have social anxiety and forcing me to speak up doesn't help, it makes it worse i wish my teacher understood me

Bruh... i was such a pick me 💀

[@ashleykim115]

I wish my teacher knew that I have low self esteem and don't like answering questions in front of the class. If they are going to call me out for my mistakes, I already know that I need to improve, I just need to decide how to start. Every time I try and talk with my mother, she always changes the conversation to grades and how I'm nowhere as good as my friends. I learn at my own pace, and pressuring me will make the process of maturing slower.

[@mckenzielol3519]

I wish my teachers knew how much emotional times I go through each and every day, and just wish they understood it’s hard to focus on a class when you have so much going on at home:(

[@aceforein2240]

I wish my teacher knew that pushing me into class discussions and making me read my person writing folder ( pretty much my diary ) to the class just makes my anxiety grow worse,even though she thinks it helps.

[@casmododragon5587]

I wish my teacher knew that the half an hour a day that I’m supposed use to do homework is spent crying and having a panic attack because of the amount of homework and that I’m deadly afraid of getting detention because my parents won’t let it go for the next six weeks. I wish they knew that anxiety and depression isn’t an excuse. I wish they knew that I have a life outside of school. I wish they knew that me suddenly not doing work in class isn’t me being lazy, it’s me stopping myself from breaking down crying in front of the whole class and humiliating myself. I wish they knew that talking about bullying doesn’t make it stop, and it only makes the victims feel worse since the teachers talk about it like saying something will do anything. I wish they knew that all of us are always stressed out and that we can’t always be perfect.

[@hazato8344]

i wish my teachers knew that i was reading all these of a script

[@thegooseofmoose2095]

I wish my teachers knew that by the time I get home, my depression has drained every last bit of motivation, self esteem, and energy out of me. All I can do is lay there and cry about how I know I'm going to get a zero on that homework I was assigned, and can do nothing about it.

[@grace9628]

I wish my teacher knew how sick my mother is, that I want their help but my anxiety makes me too scared to tell someone that "I can't take it any longer."

[@empathnation5433]

I wish my teachers knew how easily I get socially exhausted, so it doesn't help me at all to put me in a group. I wish my teachers knew that when I'm nice to them and give them cards for holidays and such, I'm *not* trying to bribe them. I'm just showing my appreciation for them. Period. I wish my teachers knew the intense emotional turmoil I face on the daily. I go deeper than anyone could ever understand, _even me._ So if you see me zoning out, I'm not trying to tune you out. I'm pondering my life.
