In grade ten our homeroom teacher would do the roll call everyday. When she got to Ken Unkerskov she'd never get a "Here!" response because we later found out he was either sick or was in jail or something (I forget exactly why he was eternally absent). I was always there but no one ever remembered MY name like most of us remembered Ken Unkerskov's name.

@SW-User I had a teacher, and a teacher's aide for another teacher, forget I was in their class. The latter always tried to take my folder and put it in the stack for one of the other classes, saying "this person isn't in this class". EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I didn't personally know her, so I doubt it was because she took issue with me (though it was high school, so who knows 🤣).

Those snubs - as if you didn't even exist! - would've crushed me. Even years later how can you chuckle about it?

@SW-User I think it was out of sheer ditzy-ness rather than malice, but I'm not sure (I was pretty quiet back then and never really spoke up when she did that with my folder, I'd just quietly get it out of the pile and turn it in like usual). Either way, I didn't really respect the teacher (he was a total goon and we had a disagreement at the beginning of the year in which he responded in a way that made me really question his intelligence) and I didn't know the girl at all, nor have I ever seen her again. There are definitely other things people said and did that still do bother me more than they probably should, though. I was pretty used to being either invisible or an easy target, and I preferred the former.
