Today, I was told by my teacher that she had 'given up' teaching me because someone had told her I have a mental illness, and that I don't understand what she says. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, I, a person who has graduated high school, encountered one of my high school teachers in public. The one known for her rampant ableism against me and tendency to get heated when people don't respond immediately to her when she talks. I've had horrible social anxiety for several years. Do the math. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, a teacher told me in all seriousness that she believes my son, who has severe learning difficulties, is likely demonically possessed. I'm sorry, but what century are we living in? Now I have to get him moved to another school so he doesn't have to be in the care of this nutjob. FML
Today, my mom got pissed off at my doctor and called him a quack. She did this because he reassured her that I don't show any signs of the mental retardation that she's convinced herself I must have. FML
Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML
Today, I have problems with my memory. I asked a teacher if I could let my class know a bit about it. The teacher said I'd already told my class about it. My class had even asked a few questions to me about it. I don't remember anything about it. Maybe it didn't happen and the teacher just lied to me. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML

I'll take people that shouldn't be teachers for $400.

Talk to her about it, then find the asshole who told her.

This is someone who shouldn't be a teacher.

Even if you had a mental illness she should try better to teach you instead of quit.

And done some actual research to see if OP actually had any mental illnesses. Contacted her parents, the principle at least.

Having trouble understanding how that even became an idea...

You should mention something to your parents because this is a serious matter. Every child deserve a chance for education, mental illness or not.

did you tell her that she is dumb and believes in any crap someone tells..

did you make it believable?

FYL for having such a rude and gullible teacher, but how dumb do you have to be for her not to notice that information isn't correct? After all, your assignments can't be anywhere near good if still thinks you're mentally disabled.

Just because someone is mentally disabled doesn't mean their assignments will be "nowhere near good."

I think what 21 meant was in this particular situation, the teacher believes op's "mental illness" affected their learning abilities to the point where they didn't understand anything the teacher said, so how badly was op's work that the teacher continued to believe this rumour. I think if OP had good grades and was paying attention in class, etc, then the teacher wouldn't have believed the rumour in the first place.

Exactly. Brandi gets it.

"Giving up" on a student, regardless of mental illnesses, breaks the teacher code. She could get on probation for that!
