How My Teacher Body-Shamed Me In Front Of The Whole School

I was never a skinny person and I’ve always been overweight. Kids were constantly picking on me and calling me names. All of this was traumatizing, but one school’s sports event took the whole teasing thing to another level.

All it takes is one person to make a difference in someone's life. Kudos to your crush for suggesting you talk to the principal and kudos to your principal for taking immediate action! As soon as I heard you say the teacher forcibly took your shirt off..I thought "that's assault!" And a big congrats on taking this negative and turning it into a positive! You give the rest of us strength and hope!!

I'm surprised that your mother gave you such a small and tight bather. What was her problem? If she had taken the time to help you find a decent sized and one-piece suit, this all might not have happened. But well done to you for not letting that rotten teacher crush you. And well done to your crush for being so understanding.
