No big chances of anyone seeing my comment but I am STILL salty about this because it instilled my fear of public speaking/being on a stage in me. MR COOK you're probably not on reddit but if there's ANY chance of you seeing this you affected a tiny child for life.

So. We were in class one day, I must have been about 7/8 and our teacher told everyone not to speak, didn't want to hear a peep. This girl next to me's pencil breaks and she leans over and whispers if I have a sharpener. I whisper back no sorry, apparently not quiet enough, and this teacher gets up from his desk and literally bellows for me to get up in front of the class. I was always the shy needy kid and this 6ft man proceeded to shout and scream at me for over 10 minutes calling me disrespectful and that I should be ashamed of myself, and I mean screaming at me to the point that I start bawling, then because I was crying in front of my class they started laughing at me. Got to me so bad that I'm in my twenties and can't speak in front of groups without physically shaking like a leaf all over!
