Lately I have been thinking about my English teacher back in high school. In most cases students bully each other but in my case I believe this teacher was a bully. I have always been chubby I remember in high school how that teacher kept asking me how I felt carrying around fat. She kept on saying that the fat will hinder me from becoming somebody in life.
At some point her words really pearce through making me loose myself esteem. Thanks to my upbringing at some point I was able to shake off the pain and move on. Now that I somebody in life I have been thinking of looking for her. Just to show her I made it. What do you think?

I had a teacher like that. She'd call us stupid, waste time just scolding the entire class for every little mistake and generally just abused us into "taking initiative." It was so horrible that when I ran into her a few years later, I just froze.
If it makes you feel better, you can show her you made it. But I also think that just living your best life without even bothering with her is also pretty good too.

It seems you never overcome the fear of your teacher that's why you froze.
Me showing her I have succeeded it brings some silent joy

Sorry to hear. People can be nasty for no reason. Forget it dear. Good that you came out of it with help from family. Take care

There are teachers who likes to demotivate students in the name of teaching them

Hey, what you are feeling is absolutely justifiable.
You should do that, you should show her she was wrong.
but on the other side, you should leave it and move on, because you will always meet people like her in your life who will try to put you down or try to shame you, that doesn't mean we need to make sure to show everyone that they were wrong.
