Humiliated in class
Okay, so I'm a good student. I study hard, always did, always participating ,with good grades. But the other day, when I come to geography class, I put lipgloss while sitting on my chair. I had a test to pass since I was apsent before. And suddenly, my teacher yelled at me and freaked me out. She said " How could you do this in class ? " ( Every girl wears make up) And I was shocked. Then she looked at me , and asked me why I was shocked. I tried to apologize but then she said I was angry, tho I wasn't talking angrily. It was like a nightmare. She told me to hide it immediately and to change places with a stressing tone. She said I was shameful for putting make up. Then, when she gave me the test paper, I couldn't stop crying. Others people in the class laughed at me and I was so angry and annoyed. I broke my pencil with rage from the humiliation. People started joking " Are you okay since this morning ?" Or " Are you not wearing make up in class?" She broke my self esteem for the whole day, and my test was left unfinished. My grade is not gonna be so good now. I used to like her, but now I hate her. She didn't even try to talk to me, tho she saw I was stressed out. Then she talked to the guy next to me, also passing, saying " Are you okay? or " Do you manage the test?" I'm so annoyed. It reminded me of one time a teacher humiliated me before an exam. I got a médiocre grade and I cried so much. Why are teachers like that?
@oliveSailboat9838 please don't take this incident so much personally. She might have bad day at his home that is why she behaved with you in such a way. Believe in yourself and bounce back one baby step at a time. I am sure you will get that courage back.

I'm really sorry that happened to you. It sounds like such an upsetting and frustrating experience, especially since you’ve always been a good student and respected your teacher. Being called out in front of the whole class like that, especially over something that seems so small, must have been humiliating. And on top of that, feeling unheard and unfairly treated just made it worse.
It makes sense that you're feeling angry and hurt right now. No one deserves to have their self-esteem shattered like that. It’s even more painful when it reminds you of past experiences. You deserved kindness and understanding, especially before an important test.
If you ever feel up to it, maybe talking to someone you trust—a friend, family member, or even a school counselor—could help you process these feelings. You're not alone in this, and your worth is not defined by this one moment. Your feelings are completely valid.
