We all know how most bullying comes from classmates, but have any of you been bullied by teachers or any other adult authority figures?

Although I was bullied, made fun of, and excluded by some of my classmates growing up, I personally was never really bullied by any teachers from what I recall, although I had some really mean and strict teachers during my time in school. However, I dealt with a driving instructor (who also happened to be a retired high school teacher at the high school I went to) who was really short-tempered and constantly yelled at and belittled me for every mistake I made during my driving lesson with him. He would also cut me off mid sentence and say stuff like “Why did/didn't you do that?” and “I don't get why I can remember this stuff but you can't!” Thankfully, I later got assigned a different instructor and eventually got my license, ensuring that I never had to deal with him again.
