What childhood injustice are you still mad about?

In the 7th grade I had a pair of crappy teachers. Really crappy.

Every day in middle school I would skip lunch due to my corn allergy. I would eat a big breakfast, come home, have a snack and then a big dinner, so I was by no means starving. My mother was also aware that I did this and allowed me to. A couple weeks into having health class with Mrs. Health teacher, she started paying a weird amount of attention to me. She noticed that I wouldn't eat during lunch, and started coming over on a daily basis and telling me that anorexia was nothing to be ashamed of and that if I ever needed to talk, her door was open. Being an overly impressionable young teenaged girl, I was repeatedly mortified and embarrassed by this. I would continually explain how I had an allergy, but she had none of it.

A couple weeks into this, I see the vice principle and Mrs. Health teacher talking across the cafeteria. I didn't think much of it until the principle comes storming over to my table and starts to interrogate me in front of my friends as to why I never ate. She assumed that the shitty ass school was my only source of food and that there was no possible way I was getting any other nourishment in my life.

I started to explain to her that I had a corn allergy, that I still ate plenty at home, and even if I did want some food I didn't have any money in my school account to pay for it. She started to get increasingly angry with me, and took me away from my friends, essentially putting me in time out while she went to retrieve a school lunch. She then tried to force feed me food I was allergic to. (If I remember correctly it was pizza with corn in the crust and some canned pineapples swimming in corn syrup) upon refusing to end my own life by choking on my own airways, she insisted on finally calling my mother and getting me "in so much trouble!" (Awesome way to approach a kid who might really have an eating disorder, right?) She left to go to the main office where the phone was and never came back, leaving me to the mercy of my judgemental friends.

I'm so glad I moved from this place. This is only one of many stories.
