Question Posted Wednesday November 8 2006, 9:21 pm
My social studies teacher hates me. He's the leader of a club for gay pride. I don't think that he's gay, he says that he's married. Ever since the beginning of the year, he's always been crabby but only to me. I mean, once we were working on a worksheet that he said we could work in groups on, and he comes over to me and yells at me and tells me to go and work alone in the hall, but I wasn't doing anything bad. And once I called someone a fag (I was just kidding, no one actually means what they say, you know what I mean?). He gave me 2 detentions and tried to get me suspended, but the principal didn't let him. My teacher has probably heard me telling gay jokes and saying stuff about gay people. What can I do to deal with this or make it stop. I hate him because he's nice to everyone else but it's only me that he gets mad at.

Set up a meeting with them, him, you, and an authority figure at your school (principal, superintendant, guidance counselor, etc.). That should get everything straightened out as much as it can be. Make sure that you keep any anger to yourself. Try to just let concern show. So, instead of talking about how he made you work in the hall for no reason, talk about how even if there was a reason, the punishment didn't match the crime and it affects your education in a negative way. Good luck. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

Sometimes its hard to do it face to face, so if it makes it easier you could write a letter telling him how you feel about it and stuff.
