I'm taking drivers ed & we need to complete a certain amount of hours on the road. Last time I went driving, my teacher yelled, cursed, got really mad at me for making a few mistakes, and really just scared me. I'm nervous when I drive to begin with so extra yelling isn't helping me. I came home shaking & started crying as soon as I got into the door. I think driving is full of pressure alone, so all of this extra stress isn't helping me. I don't know what to do. I still have quite a few hours to go before my test, but I doubt I'll even pass it now. What should I do?? Any advice/tips?? Thanks!

Maybe you can go to a different school. You have to complete the hours, no matter what. Just relax, youll be fine. But i suggest looking for a different teacher, one who is nicer.
kc answered Saturday October 13 2007, 7:20 pm: You should probably tell your parents. Try getting a different teacher, or going to a new school all together. The teacher is supposed to help you out, not make things worse.
Since you have just 6 hours to go, I bet you can tough it out, since I bet you toughed it throught a lot more than 6. Then when you do get your license, you will be free from her, and shove it in her face. Good luck though! :] [ kc's advice column | Ask kc A Question ]
