Question
My teacher has been very mean to me. he has slammed my reading book on my desk saying my answer was wrong, then came back a minute later and said, "whoops, that was actually correct." and he always yells at me. Is he aloud to do this? what should i do?

Answer
I would have one of my parents get in touch with the teacher.
If this doesn't help, have them contact the principal.

The other thing to note is frequently in life people tell me I'm doing wrong.
The best I've found to do is ignore any hostility and love them back while praying for them.
In the end, they end up being more courteous to me (at least not being violent any more)
after I have corrected what I need to correct.

The other thing I've found is when people complain at me for doing something wrong, it turns out to be the case that I'm doing something eles wrong.  I have taken to readinng and following the Bible and the complaints I get about the way these questions are answered tend to disappear.
