Maybe I'm a little soft for this....

I was a substitute teacher, but I quit, and it wasn't because kids were being loud and obnoxious. I can handle that, but it was because I was getting bullied by the students. Many of them laughed at my physical appearance...I couldn't take it. It brought back memories of when I was in high school and it happened to me daily. I don't want to go through that again, and frankly the shitty pay isn't worth it.

Kids are brutal. When I was in high school, these rowdy punk boys were making such mean comments about our substitute teacher's appearance that she ran from the classroom crying, and came back escorted by the principal, who gave those boys a harsh speech and a day in ISS (In-School Suspension).
