When I was in fourth grade I was bullied daily by my teacher of all people. My older brother had her first and well... he's always had a knack for rebelling and pissing people off. Several years later I'm in her class. Everyday was some new form of bullshit. I felt helpless. No one believed me at the time.

I went into that school year a straight A honor role student. Afterwards I found myself flunking and I barely passed each year (from 4th to 9th grade). I developed anxiety and would have panic attacks when it came to homework. It took me until my freshman year of high school to get ahold of my anxiety and overcome it.

Of course there was a Domino effect. My parents didn't handle my failing grades well and going forward there was constant tension. Lots of yelling nightly arguments. If I had a nickel for every time I was asked "what is wrong with you?". They handled that situation so poorly... It ruined our relationship.

That year eradicated my self-esteem. And looking back it took me years to recover from that one year of bullying.

TLDR: bullied by teacher, had panic attacks, low self esteem, and anxiety.
