Has your teacher even lied/misinterpreted something big about you? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I don't even know why she did this, maybe she really did misinterpret or maybe she made this up for whatever reason. I have dealt with some really interesting teachers in middle school and in sophomore year.

This teacher either left or got fired, but the bell rang. I (skipped kindergarten, was 14 years old) was talking about watching a movie with my friend.

All of a sudden, the teacher told me to come see her before we walked to the buses.

She said she heard me say that I was going to "talk to my 19-year-old boyfriend Russell" and that she was worried about me.

She then said she looked through my phone, as I left my backpack in the special education room, and she said she saw a contact named "Russell" (I do not have a contact named that).

She then called my parents and my aunt and uncle found out because my dad told them.

My aunt never really liked me, but she wouldn't stop talking about how the teacher never lies and that I probably do have a 19-year-old boyfriend.

I never spoke to any 19-year-olds named Russell, or any 19-year-olds at that, or any Russells, let alone date any.

Some teachers want to make students’ lives better. A few teach because they failed at something. Without knowing a thing about you and assuming your story is fact, it’s possible your teacher is jealous of you and invented some slights to hold against you and it went too far.

I once embarrassed a computer teacher and he made up lies about me. Nothing sexual though. I did have to deal with him on his terms. It wasn’t fair but being a kid usually isn’t. I won though. I graduated, I moved on.
