Bullied because my relative is the teacher

Anonymous

Hi, I always had friends and was very popular in school until I reached the 9th grade. My relative was the teacher and everyone hated her. My friends turned against me to join the bullies in hating my relative and me. They talked about my relative teacher to my face everyday. They did it just to hurt me. My relative teacher was a really really good teacher. The students just insisted to hate her though. She never treated me any different, nor did she give me an advantage on grades. I didn’t even have the highest grade in her class! My classmates insisted that she was giving me the answers at home. I never told my family members how I was getting harrassed at school. My ex friend even made up lies on my relative to get her fired. My ex friend tried to play the victim. She disrespected my relative teacher (while disrespecting me at the same time) and went home and got her mom involved. It was so ugly. Just my luck, I had another relative as a teacher the following year, and everyone hated her as well! It was the same cycle. What kind of luck was I born into? Anyone ever heard of a story similar to mine?
