I am a 16-year-old male currently in the 10th grade. For the past few years, my lead teacher (homeroom teacher) has been bullying me and using derogatory language toward me. While it wasn't constant in the beginning, the frequency of this behavior has been increasing lately.
I honestly don’t know the reason behind his hostility. My parents and I have always been respectful and "nice" people, yet he continues to target me.
A few days ago, things escalated. I skipped school for one day, and my teacher called my mother. Instead of having a professional conversation, he screamed at her over the phone. He was angry about me missing class, but he also brought up the fact that my parents haven't paid the private school tuition fees yet.
My mom stood her ground and argued back with him. However, the strangest part is his behavior at school; when I see him in person, he acts like nothing happened.
I’m feeling very uncomfortable and confused. Is it normal for a teacher to act this way? How should I handle this situation moving forward?
