Should I tell my parents?
My history teacher has been really mean to me lately. I am a quiet hard working student who doesn't cause any trouble, yet he is always making comments to me in front of the class that really upset me. He will say things like:
"why are you sooooooooo quiet?" "you look like a midget" "your a loser" the whole class find him really nice as a teacher, but he is so mean to me. I already suffer from anxiety and depression and this isn't helping! Please help, I'm scared if I tell my parents he will be even more mean to me or they won't take me seriously! Thanks
Thank you so much to everyone that had answered btw. All your comments make me feel so much better already and im really grateful for all the great advice-picking a best answer is going to be hard! Xxx

This is discrimination. I put up with it for 2 years untill i finally found my voice to say "you know what? F*ck you!" What a B*tch your teacher sounds! YES! HELL YESS! dont even let anyone older than you think they can treat you like a pushover just because your personality isn't what they'd like you to be. If not then tell your headteacher or even the police, discrimination is a serious offence!

Ill tell u this. If you were my child I would of course want to know if u were being verbally abused by a teacher. Cause that's what he's doing, he's verbally abusing you. He has no right to.treat any student in.that manner. You're not even my child and It upsets me that this is happening with u. Every child should feel safe and comfortable at school and this asshole teacher needs to be reported. He's a bully and shouldn't be a teacher if he is calling you names. School is hard enough with having to deal with child bullies. So him calling you a loser and a midget is absolutely crossing the line. So YES YES YES you should definitely tell your parents about this. I really hope you do tell, it could save another student in the future from being bullied and abused by this moronic "teacher". I wish I knew this teachers name and school he teaches at cause I would report him myself. Again please tell your parents. Good luck sweetie and don't listen to a word that jerk says. You're perfect

i personally suffer from anxiety aswell, so i definately think that you should talk to a adult or even someone older about him. He doesnt have the right to make rude and unhelpful comments about you infront of the class which may make the anxiety worse for you(only a guess). If it carries on then maybe do make a complaint, which would then hopefully make him stop. Hope this helps:)

Get a digital recorder and let it run during the class. Get at least three separate incidents of the teacher's punitive comments. This establishes a track record and recidivism of behavior. Bring it to your parents and request they have contact with your school counselor and/or principal.

I Agree with Danielle 100%!!! Tell your parents asap & go to guidance counselor & or principle. you are being BULLIED!!! You know how it is making you feel, and I'm sure you would not want another student to be bullied by this teacher. I wonder how many other students before you has he did this to? Please tell, because some student 1 day may do something tragic to them selves for this teacher bulling them. Good Luck & God Bless You

You need to tell someone, if you don't, itl continue. The guy will be dealt with if you tell your parents - they'll contact the school personally and the guy will probably be taken away from the school. Best of luck.

He's only trying to bring you out if your shell. I've seen lots of teachers do this, I even do it at times. Not to be rude and mean, but we just want you to ease up and be more comfortable. I'm sure your classmates see that as well..if it's only making you more uncomfortable, tell him not your parents.

Definitely tell your parents, he sounds horrible and if he is even more mean to you, tell your head of year or head teacher
