Having a bad day so please please be nice

Please I beg you be nice because I'm having a terrible day and drove home crying. I'm hoping I would come on here for positive support considering I don't have many friends.

Long story short I had a presentation today in class and my teacher humiliated me in front of the class. Not bad enough you're already nervous. On top of that, I was having technical issues and the PowerPoint didn't look the same on the projection screen. At the end of my presentation, my teacher was asking me questions and kept grilling me making me more nervous. So literally while I'm still up there presenting she told the class that we need to be more prepared and need to do better at explaining. After I sat down feeling stupid feeling everyone's eyes on me.

Next couple of people went up and she didn't grill them or ask them anything? Then halfway again to the class " Those who were prepared thank you blah blah blah" I know she was talking about me. At the end of class asked to see me in front of the whole class and was like you know better... I told her I'm sorry I was already nervous and then having technical issues. I even answered her question that I couldn't in front of everyone and told her I know my stuff I was very nervous. Mind you people are in the room listening. I was HUMILIATED. She apologized to me and said I'm sorry if I embarrassed you...... Like really??, you know you did if you even have to say that. I cried the whole way home. I don't even want to show my face next week but I know I have to be strong and do so. I don't even want to look at her.

Please I need positive uplifting words and I'm coming to all of you for some so please be kind. And I will pay it forward when any of you need to chat or need encouraging words. Thank you for reading. P.S I go to a university

Women are cruel a man would never do that. I'm only joking.

She should know better, and later on when it no longer bothers you so much after class you should tell her how much her bad judgement affected your progress and as a teacher she should be ashamed of herself.

Some people think you should take open criticism, and you should, but for her to repeatedly bring it up and try to make an example of you is wrong.

@Lostpoet thank you so much for your kind words and forever grateful for everyone stepping up and being encouraging to me during these tough times. And I also agree there is a right way to handle things in a wrong way and I don't believe she handled them correctly. Again thank you kindly.

@Doglover44 She definitely handled things wrong, and unless she's a first year teacher she really should have known better. You are adults she shouldn't try and treat you like a child.
