Hi Katie,

First of all, your teacher should never call you lazy or any other negative term.  She should never yell at you either.  As an educator myself, I know first hand if you are struggling that her job is to help you be successful.  Have you told your parents?  Have you attempted to communicate with the teacher letting her know how you feel?  Are you asking her for assistance on how to improve anything you are struggling with?  If your school has a social worker, a counselor, or a psychologist,  you should definitely consult them.

Also, though this is a great community of support, please remember that users, such as myself, and this site are not intended to provide and do not constitute medical, legal, or other professional advice. Nothing here is designed to replace medical or psychiatric treatment.

Sincerely,

Melinda
