How do I find out who adopted him?

I'm not a spoiled brat though and I am a good person.

Moochie, it's actually normal for you to have strong feelings, and to have some social anxiety, and to take very seriously, what happens at school. It's normal to be sensitive, and have deep feelings. It's a process - this growing up thing. It takes time. As you mature, you'll feel more sure of yourself.

Everyone has had a bad teacher. And everyone gets over it.

I'd like to mention, I think you have a lot of potential as a writer. You're very, very expressive, and you know just how to 'paint a picture' with words. I got EXACTLY, that image of your mother snapping back at that teacher. I really think you should work at it, and develop that writing skill. That skill of being able to know which details will 'explain' how you feel...that's not something people learn from an instructor. that's instinctive. The rest of the writing craft, it's taught, and refined with practice. But you have the instinct.

Too - that incident made me think - Isn't it kinda cool, to know how loyal your parents are to you?

For bad teachers, I had Mrs. MacConnell. She made a good number of kids in the second grade, cry - boys as well as girls. She simply was a mean person. Be assured, these teachers do get fired - it just takes time. Those 'wheels of justice' are a little creaky, and they always need some oil, LOL.

I had another teacher I hated, Mr. Connorton. But...that didn't last for long. He was the science teacher and he insisted we write our notes out, and our experiments in a very, very exact way. And he picked through every single bit of homework in detail. Honestly I got pretty sick of his picking.....until it came to advanced science, and I took better notes than any of the other students that hadn't been through his class. All of us from 'Conny Connorton's' class, were acing advanced science.

It's important to know what you can complain about and how to make the complaint work. Strict teachers aren't always mean ones, so don't let one bad teacher mislead you.

Hi Moochie! I understand how sad you must be.
That's a lovely drawing and the sweetest thing you could have done, Wendy, and great advice.

What's wierd is that our new dog that we got shortly after from a friend, looks similar to Grizzly Bear.

That's Bruno at 5 weeks. He was outside sleeping with the chickens. He's much bigger now and turning into a glump. But see how he looks like Grizzly? Strange...

SillyChicken that's a great drawing.

Moochie. That's a tough break. Try not to be too upset at your Mom. I'm sure it was hard for her after the anger wore off. As a parent it's hard to say no. It's a necessary evil though. It doesn't sound like you're spoiled to me. Teachers are hard sometimes too. You learn to live with it unless they're really out of line.

Good luck. The pain will fade slowly but will after a while.
