Q&A for How to Not Cry when a Teacher Shouts at You

Do some deep breathing to get yourself through the moment. Then, try talking to your teacher a few hours later when you're both calm again. If that doesn't help, don't be afraid to ask to your parents or the school counselor for help.

Some people are very sensitive to those sorts of things. Maybe you’ve noticed that the shy, quiet, well-behaved kids usually have the worst reactions (because they aren’t used to it), whereas a “class clown” just shakes it off.

Do your best to figure out why the teacher is yelling and avoid behaviors that you know will push your teacher's buttons. If the yelling seems to be for no reason or is excessively harsh, you may be dealing with a bully teacher, in which case you should consider reporting the situation.

It is your right to talk to the principal. If the teacher is treating you worse because of this, let the principal know what is going on.

Try approaching your teacher about it right away and explaining why you missed the concert. If you don't have a good reason, just say you're sorry. If possible, try talking you your teacher about it before class so that you don't get yelled at in front of the other students.

Try to calmly explain to the teacher what happened. Keep in mind, however, if this happened during a test, you should not have been talking to a classmate, even if you were just asking to borrow a pencil.

You can use the same techniques as you would if you were dealing with a teacher. The only difference is that if the principal is treating you unfairly or bullying you, you will have to report the incident directly to the superintendent or school board.

This does not sound like a good way for a teacher to talk to your student. Keep in mind that your teacher may have been stressed and may regret speaking to you like that. If things like this keep happening, you should definitely talk to your parents and/or the principal.

Try to remind yourself that this will only make this situation worse. Use the techniques in Part 1 to calm yourself down.

Just try to keep in mind that this is not in your best interest. You don't want to do anything that will make the situation worse, so use the techniques in Part 1 to calm yourself down.

Try to stay calm during class. You may want to consider talking to the teacher before or after class and letting him or her know how this makes you feel. It's possible that your teacher is not intentionally insulting you and does not know that your feelings are hurt. If this doesn't work and your teacher continues to insult you, try talking to your parents about the issues. If it becomes very serious, go to the principal with your concerns.

You should have a talk with your friend and try to work things out. It's important to understand your friend's motivation for telling on you, as they may have been trying to protect you or protect others. If you did something wrong, you should not blame your friend for the consequences.

A teacher should never do that. If you cry and your teacher gets upset, or punishes you, report it to the principal or ask your parents to call the school.

That is not something a teacher should do. Tell your parents and ask them to call the school to complain, or go directly to the principal yourself and tell them what happened.

Go tell them what happened and apologize. You'll feel a lot better once you tell them and they'll be less upset if they hear it from you. Clear the air, don't make excuses for yourself, and tell them you hope they can accept your apology and continue being your friend.

What you did was wrong. There is no such thing as "accidentally" telling someone to kill themselves. You should apologize for what you said to the person and apologize to the teacher as well. If you cry, you cry. Just accept your punishment and be more careful about what you say in the future.

Yes, that is a great idea!
