My third grade teacher for humiliating me in front of the whole class, many times, and turning most of my class against me. Another person, who won't be named, for meddling in something that was none of their business and making an already difficult situation much worse. I think I've forgiven that teacher, because none of those kids matter to me anymore. I've hardly thought of them in years.

@TeresaRudolph71 I went through a similar situation
My Grandma was dying and I watched her slowly slip away but she and I talked a lot ,and she never talked down to me like a little kid ,she wanted me to be smart and ready for the day she was no longer around ,,
When my 2nd grade teacher asked questions ,,I would wait to see if anyone else responded and if no one did I would raise my hand ,when the teacher called on me I always began everything with "Grandma Said "
Soon every time I raised my hand the kids would start chanting "Grandma said Grandma said "
I liked a girl in my class and her Mom let her wear perfume
She liked me too ,so playing a game called hide the bone she put her eraser in my desk (you kept your eyes closed and guessed who gave you the eraser ) I smelled her perfume
When I said Kelly ,he stops me and tells the story of the little boy who cried wolf ,,and tells me I cheated ,,take my seat
After that everything I said was met with "Grandma said or Wolf Wolf Wolf " thats what made me shy
It was hard enough getting beat at home ,dealing with bullies to get to and from school ,,,this was the icing on the cake .
When friends from school see me now ,and see how vocal I am they are blown away ,,but they have no clue what I went through to overcome my life ,,,I would hurt one of them today for mocking me ,,,they made me join the service at 17
I could not wait to go away and be trained ,,and come back and kick their butts ,,,the night I came home from boot camp
20 boys pushed to far ,,they found out I was not that scared little boy anymore
I was a well trained member of the US Coast Guard
Fear was not an option
Now I give those people credit ,,they made me who I am
an overcomer
