AITK for confronting my teacher when she slut shamed me
Tldr-i 17f in 12th grade confronted her teacher and made her apologise after she slut shamed me in front of everyone.disclaimer-i used ai for correcting the grammer and spellings
So for context, I’m the type of student who has never really been scolded, punished, or even made to stand up in class. It’s not like I’m some topper or perfect student . I just mind my own business ,a littleee above average and I’m very introverted, so think of me as that shy quiet kid in class. Even teachers have always behaved pretty gently with me.
This year we got a new teacher who already had a reputation for being moody and rude. For some reason, ever since I entered 12th grade, she started picking on me specifically. Maybe she found my quiet nature annoying, idk. She would ask me extremely difficult questions in class just to embarrass me when I couldn’t answer, and she constantly found faults in my notebook even when all my work was complete.
A few days ago, I got food poisoning and was absent for some time. When I came back, I had a huge amount of pending work, but I still completed almost 60 pages in one day. Mind you, she already knew I had been sick.
So when I gave her my notebook for checking, she literally tore up the pages and threw the entire notebook into the DUSTBIN because apparently my presentation “wasn’t proper” — things like missing sidelines and spacing after questions.
I was obviously furious and asked how she could do that, but she just told me to complete everything again properly. At that moment I couldn’t really say much because I’m not a confrontational person.
But while I was walking back to my seat, I heard her say under her breath: “Janti hu tum jaisi ladkiyo ko. Padhayi likhayi mei dhyan rehta nahi hai, bas fashion aur ladko pe rehta hai.”
Basically saying girls like me only care about fashion and boys instead of studies.
That honestly made no sense because I barely even talk to people ,scored 90 in 10th and 83 in 11th pcm subject😭
That’s when I snapped.
I turned around and asked why she thought it was okay to say something like that when she didn’t even know me personally. I told her that just because she was an authority figure didn’t mean she could say anything she wanted to students. That she was acting like a bully and taking out her ego on 17-year-olds at the big age of 45.
I even told her I was NOT rewriting all 60 pages again just for her ego and that I would rather print them out.
At this point my whole body was literally shaking because I’m not used to confronting anyone, but I was so angry that I just kept speaking.i felt tears in my eyes because I felt humiliated in front of everyone.
Soon other teachers and even the principal came because of the commotion. They kept trying to calm me down and saying I “couldn’t talk to a teacher like that,” but I explained the whole situation and said I wouldn’t move until she apologized.
Everyone was shocked because they had never seen me react like this before. Some teachers were even smiling 😭
In the end, the principal made her apologize to me, although very reluctantly, and she was later called into the principal’s office.
I’m pretty sure my practical marks are doomed now, my parents told me i shouldn't have done that she's still my teacher i should have respected her and stuff but idk.
