I'm under small emotional issues, need some support

[Malin Prosper]

I recognize this is not the appropriate place to ask for this kind of stuff, but I am given no choice to ask elsewhere, just typing a thread on 7cupsoftea made me feel awful.

Every time I go to school, I'm always a bit nervous because of this one class. I start feeling jittery when the day starts.

My math teacher scares the living stuff out of me.

It's constant screaming, yelling and calling out other kids. And guess what? There's nothing I can do about it. Every day in math class it's a struggle to keep my feet on the ground, I can't count how many times I've gone to the nurse because of me crying. I can't count how many times I've gone home just to hug my plushies and watch television. I always feel awful, people online always call me sick in the head due to the fact that I collect dolls. Like loving seriously? I see a therapist every 2 weeks and a half, and we discuss everything blah blah and it never gets better. Heck, I'm nearly tearing up typing this.

Can some people just relate to me? Like, at least one person?

im scared of school in general. im fearful of getting beat up, getting harassed, getting talked down to by the teachers/school officials, scared that another "incident" occurs and i end up being sent to jail for something i did not do... it's just hard. i'm happy i finally made it to my senior year of high school though. i just might get my high school diploma. i was actually planning to drop out before my junior year.

Besides the nurse and your maths teacher (who I assume doesn't care), does anyone else at your school know about what happens in maths class?
Obviously if it's effecting you to the extent that you break down, then something's going wrong.

Do your parents know about your maths class, more specifically, too?
It may be that they can contact the school and voice their concern, and they can have something done. Whether that's having someone sit in on the lesson to the review the teacher or not, or moving you to a different maths class.

You sound young and that makes me feel so bad for you. I've been dealing with depression since October, and it's gotten really bad for me, especially since I chose not to get to a therapist or let my parents know.

Despite the unlucky stuff that has happened in the small frame that is from October to now, I feel like I'm recovering.
It'll always get better, friend. Just stay strong, and when you can't anymore, don't feel ashamed to ask for help from people you trust.

If you ever need help, talk to me. I'll leave my contact information here for you. I'm willing to share personal experiences, although they're a bit heavier than what I'm understanding from OP.

Stand up to him and call him a richard if he starts yelling at you. If you get a detention or suspension, use that time to cool down and forget about the math teacher. Also, ask to be switched to a different teacher. It worked for me when I had a math teacher that hit people with yard-sticks. He even broke one on a student's back, sooo... yeah.

Do not keep quiet about this.

You are an innocent child, and they have no right to make you feel disrespected, scared, antagonized, or unsafe.
Tell your parents/guardians that you can not handle these issues, and if they do not listen- go directly to school administration.

If they say you need more counseling tell them "that's bullstuff." If this has been going on for long, it should be addressed properly.
Also, if other kids in the class have had similar experiences with this teacher, they can be of use to your argument.

If you collect toys and dolls I can understand that everyone might think you are a total pusillanimous individual, but that's honestly none of their business. Fight for your right.

I brought a mini pillowpet to high-school for a few months, and gave no stuffs.

I get really anxious when I go to chemistry because the teacher is one of those people who tries to get through as much as possible (talks really quick) and will call anyone out at random to answer the calculations

I'm always so anxious when I go into that class because I'm scared I'll answer it wrong and jesus forget it's happened so many times

I used to be the same way in my chemistry class, especially since a lot of chemistry at the level I was at consisted of maths knowledge, in balancing equations.
I'm not bad at maths as a whole, I just struggle with mental arithmetic, and if I'm not there with a pen & paper or a calculator, I'm struggling with even fairly basic equations. And of course, 9 times out of 10 the chemistry teacher is asking questions to do with balancing equations.


My advice though would be to talk to your teacher after class in private, and explain that you're having difficulty with answering sudden questions and it's making you rather nervous. And if you need help with chemistry altogether, then ask your teacher. If they're going too fast for you, they might not be able to adjust their teaching style, but they may be able to help you go over what you've learnt in after-class revision sessions.
Don't just sit there in silence, even if you're scared of your teacher.

I was absolutely terrified of my first year AS Chemistry teacher (she had a thick South African accent and a temper), and I wouldn't ask for help when I could've benefited, and I ended up with a grade C for my AS.
THen the next year I had a new teacher, who wasn't frightening, but was really rude and I swore she picked on me. She asked me if I wanted help, and I think mostly out of spite/pride I said I was fine, and then my efforts slacked. Eventually she stopped caring, basically said to my face that I would never be a chemist (or pharmacist as I was interested in at the time), and that was it. I didn't give a stuff anymore and started skipping lessons, among other things.
I ended up having wasted 2 years of college, and came out with a Grade E Chemistry A Level. It wasn't smart of me.


And all I had to do was ask a teacher for help, rather than sit there in fear or trying to spite my teachers.
