...not doing anything, while I was the one making a scene. My explanation about my phobia meant absolutely nothing to the librarian. You would think that anybody working with lots of students all day would be less ignorant of the fact that some students would have special issues. Stuttering, in your case. Ideally, these kinds of things should be reportable, but I suspect that most junior high kids would be too embarrassed to talk about it. Anyway, I really rambled here across two comments.

@Celebok Wow that breaks my heart. If you dont mind me asking; what phobia was it? But Yeah, I totally agree with you. Some people who work in the school system are unfit to work with children. Some teachers were wonderful to me though.

Urgh.... stupid teacher! :/

What about a video how people who dont stutter should react to it.

[Spazzyme]

@katyyybella great idea

The guy would probably never think you would talk aloud in a video for the world to see :).

[Spazzyme]

@dutchman983 yeah probably not.

Can you explain how your Interview went please? Unless I have missed it, I say sorry in advance if so, OK?

Take care,

Rushed into his office, this would have been at about the time school closed, and she found his canes and broke them in bits! A worse deputy head I cannot imagine!

The other thing that bothered me was I had no idea how to draw. It was something to do with the epilepsy again, and we were always told to draw in History class? So I missed f history classes because it made me feel so stupid.

My self esteem was zero at school, because of bullying and the deputy head. I just hardly spoke.

for an hour while everyone else was in assembly? And then he called me into his office again and told me not to be late again or else. The playground was still almost full when I got to school so I was just a fraction past the 9 o'clock latest time. The reason for me sometimes not making it was because the previous day I had an epileptic fit and the next day was always bad for me. After this canning, when he had been told not to can me because of the epilepsy problem, I went home and my mum > >

Hi,

I understand exactly how you felt at school.

School was terrible for me, there was two students in my class that made me feel like dirt, and there was also the deputy head who just seemed to pick on me for no good reason. I did my best and was top of my class. I recall two instances where he grabbed me by the ear (I was 13 and 14 at the time) and walked me the 200 yards to his office and canned me. The first time I took it. The second he made me pick toffee papers and cigarettes > >

I know exactly what your talking about, I have recently started watching some of your videos and other of stutterers and am planning to make my own channel kind of thing :)....anyway, the same thing happened to me in english class when i was 15, this really cruel teacher forced me to read. As I began to stutter and was about half way through I asked her if I could stop as some kids were laughing and stuff, and she wouldn't let me stop!! it was so horrible and I completely understand :)

@Spazzyme Oh, I certainly don't mind if you ask me what my phobia was, as long as you don't mind if I don't answer it. ;-) It's really embarrassing, and I haven't told anyone I met after I was cured in the 8th grade. I'm glad you had some good, understanding teachers, and I hope the ignorant sub was an isolated case in your life. I had an English teacher that same year who understood my phobia because her daughter suffered something similar, so she stood up for me when I got teased.

It's amazing how some teachers (sub or otherwise) can be really ignorant about students' issues. When I was in middle school, I had this really serious phobia that other kids liked to tease me about, which was torture for me, and the librarian yelled at me for making a scene trying to get away from the other kids... even after I tried to explain my phobia to her and the fact that they were bullying me, she still took their side because they were just standing there innocently and apparently...
