This year alone(grade 8) I've had 2/3 teachers act very cod towards me. One is just being nasty and the other is kind of trying to control me.
Lets start with my math teacher Mrs.L. At the beginning of the year i understood math and was getting all the right answers. I was doing it my way and not hers. She found out and I said I wanted to do it my way since I understood it better. She talked to me out in the hallway during class and forced me to do everything her way or she will call m mum and talk to the principal. I am incredibly shy when it comes to talking to higher ups and teachers so I finally agreed when I was in tears. Now I'm almost failing math because I don't understand her teaching methods. And she has the nerve to put on my report card that i'm not trying and refuse to do the work.
Then there's my english teacher Ms.D. She is very two faced and always shows different sides. One day after math i wasn't in the best mood and she talked to me in the hallway after class and told me to suck it up and deal with it. That I need to start acting like the most mature person in class(which she sees me as). She started telling me about the ways I was acting mature, including my shoes. They were healed ancle shoes. Because of her I stopped wearing them at school. I've had a horrible history having to act more mature then I really am. But as I am shy I couldn't tell her how I felt. In my work it seems as though nothing I do ever pleases her and it's never enough. The tone of her voice when she talks to me is very cold. She's nice and friendly to everyone else. Only one other person has seen this side of her. Which happens to be a friend of mine in grade 9. Anyway on my report card she said that i always feel a need to be praised on my work. It infuriates me that she would put that when she rarely says anything nice to me or about my work.
Any advice on how to deal with these two teachers?
Also they're trying to control my mathamatical education in a negative way. I believed that I would benifit going into Ms.D's math class more then I would staying in Mrs.L's but they both refuse to switch me.

Hi! I suggest you try to talk to a school counselor about your problems. I know you are shy, but these folks are nice and want to help.

I don't know why these teachers are acting the way they are. All I can say is to try to hang in here. Can you meet with your math teacher outside of class or get tutoring?

As for English, who doesn't want to be praised for their work? It sounds like your teacher has gotten an impression of you that's not accurate.

My schoolis very strange, you're only allowed to meet with the councilor if it's some sort of crisis and you need to talk to the principal or the secretary at the school. Plus I'm scared of the principal because he threatened me, because i had 15 lates and absenses+lates so far. And you're not allowed to talk against the teachers at my school.
I'm scared of my math teacher and dislike her a lot. Plus I just don't understand the way she teaches.
And I know right? I just find it frustrating that she would in a sense judge me when she knows practically nothing about me :/
