Unfortunately sometimes the teachers don't even get listened to. I got into my first fight in middle school because this girl wouldn't stop bothering me, she kept throwing racial slurs at me and god knows what else. Anyway, luckily in this class I was basically teacher's pet, my English teacher and I were friends (still are actually) and she kept telling her superiors that I was being bullied but they wouldn't listen because apparently they needed "something" to happen. And it did. And that's why I walked around with a torn lip the next day and she wore heavy make up to hide her bruised cheek. I always remembered feeling so angry that they were just waiting around for me to get hurt, whereas my teacher was the only one trying to prevent exactly that. In fact it was because we had a substitute teacher that day that the girl took the opportunity to fight me.
