We all know what kind of difference a good teacher can make in someone's life. A skilled educator has an opportunity to inspire students to pursue their goals and talents, can recognize their strengths and give them the most important knowledge they can offer. While we all should celebrate all of the amazing teachers out there, many schools still lack compassionate, thoughtful and talented teachers. A Twitter user who recently started a thread asking people to share their crappy teacher stories proves that some people are simply unsuited to do this important job. In the eye-opening and shocking thread, people shared stories of harrowing teachers who abused their power over students, humiliated and bullied them.

Talking of respect, I had a new ROTC teacher come in screaming at us talking about if you respect me I'll respect you while showing us zero respect. I made it my main mission in life to make him hate his and I succeeded. I got many other students on board and he barely lasted the year.. I'm willing to bet I took years off that man's life.

I'm so sorry you had to wade through all that c**p. Good job making your dream happen in spite of him!

You deserved an A. That type of behavior was pretty s****y on her part.

She shouldn't have been working in a school to begin with. My parents would have raised hell if that had been me. Teachers and other school staff need to take students with illnesses seriously.

Whoah. A good friend's mother was dying of cancer, and the principal said he would not allow her to be with her mother, she had to be in school. Luckily, her aunt told the principal where to stick it.

One teacher told my youngest (of 3) sister, "Why can't you be creative like your sisters?" That hurt. I'm glad she got past that, but it took a while. She now does interesting crafts (great colour sense!). Plus, she works in PR, marketing, travel writing, tourism, would make a very good manager-- I can't praise her enough!

Your parents and the counselor need to figure out what reality is. That story she told them was fiction.

So how does one gain the right to feel sad? Is there a quota system (10 worst situations on the entire planet) or is it based on a checklist (must have 9 out of 10 specific events happen over the course of 25 hours) or do you argue for your right before a jury of one insensitive art teacher?

That teacher should have been smacked across her head really hard for being stupid.

This is just horrible. I hope the earbuds didn't cost too much to replace.

Wow. That is just SO rude and uncalled for. People can make decisions for themselves.

That person clearly did hear the teacher, to have done them. The student should have gone to the principal while she went to the nurse's office to make sure her head was okay.

I've told this one before...a (male) teacher stopped in the middle of class to tell me "Your legs are too fat. You need to go on a diet." This wasn't Phys Ed or some class when commenting on my weight might be even slightly appropriate - this was like Math or Social Studies. F*** him.

That is just so LAME. Doctors exist for a reason, not so you can pretend that they don't know what they're talking about.

Guys used to bully me a lot at school, calling me names, singing mean songs, pushing me over. So one day I took my complaint straight to the principal. One of the guys tagged along because the teachers wanted it to be "sorted out". Ended up the guy was simply told to chill and when he left and I stayed, the principal looked at me and he said "you shouldn't worry about this, guys this age are mean to girls they like so he simply likes you!" Yep. Of course. Silly me. What else to expect from a society that romanticizes mental abuse?

Some guys are just a******s. The principal is one of them.

My 6th grade teacher told the class a story about how her family got a cat, and wanted to de-claw it themselves (de-clawing a cat is cat abuse to begin with, not to mention doing it yourself). She felt she needed a cat to practice on, so they FOUND A DEAD CAT IN THE STREET and de-clawed the poor dead cat. The boy who sat in front of me was so upset – he said that could have been has cat, because his cat had disappeared and they never knew what happened to it.
