Have you ever experienced to be bullied?

I am surprised that students would "bully" or mock their professor there. Is this kind of thing rare? I hope so!

If a student thinks he can bully a teacher, he or she will feel empowered by his or her classmates to bully anyone. I think you need to take that student in hand and let him know he cannot bully you. Then he will have respect for you and know he will not be able to get away with such behavior.

I have had my days of being bullied at workplace and college. But now I can't stand the bullies and the crap around.

That is quite disrespectful of that student. I hope they don't do that often.

Sometimes we , teachers, should really have to look good in front of our students. We stand and talk in front of them all day and they look at us from head to foot. Students are so observable how their teachers dress up everyday. We serve as their model. That's why it is good if the school has employees' uniform. We don't have to buy expensive clothes but at least we look respectable and neat all the time.

Glad to see that you are not bothered to change yourself for such shallow people. Their mentality does not travel beyond getting pleasure out of humiliating others. You are simply perfect, and there is no improving perfection . Simple people are beautiful from inside. Just applying an ounce of make up on their faces or wearing colourful clothes doesn't make them holy or above others. The people who matter to you value you for who you are, that gives enough satisfaction to be happy. Such irrelevant students should just be tuned out of your system. They are not worth to be changed for. Even if you try bringing in any change in yourself for them, they will simply find a new reason to humiliate. They will learn their real lessons much later in life. P.S.: the next time they try to make fun of you, accept it gracefully with a smile. Nothing kills an attempt at humiliation more than the refusal to feel humiliated at all. If their attempts do not affect you, they then question themselves as to why they are even trying at all.

I have been bullied and it's an awful feeling. =( I am more simple like you as well. I don't need to always be dressed up or keep up with the fashion. If I am comfortable and look nice, it's okay with me. =)

I was bullied growing up. Not a good feeling at all.

I'm sorry that happened to you, just don't show that it upset you.

Wow! (Sarap pagsasapakin hehe) I don't want to experience it. I have no enough patience that's why teaching is not in my vocabulary.
