I was physically abused by my first grade teacher. Another student picked a fight (an argument, no violence) with me and naturally I got the full blame. The teacher didn't even ask what was going on; she just dragged me by one arm and swept me across the classroom and dragged me all the way down the hall to the principal's office. This happened in a very affluent, reputable school district. She has since won many awards, has served on the board of many educational organizations and has relations with top officials on the US Department of Education as well as with those on the state level. She will probably win an award for excellence in education from Obama next year and there is nothing I can do about it.
I have been sexually abused twice. Once by a female (she was fifteen, I was nine), and once by a boy (he was fourteen, I was thirteen). I was afraid to tell my parents because they are very religious, so I kept it a secret for many years so neither of them will ever get punished.
That is just awful. I was never physically nor sexually abused, but definitely verbally and emotionally abused. I had a past HR manager that was downright rude to me that it made me so depressed. This awful woman gets awards. It made me sick to my stomach to have a awful rude woman getting an award. It seems to me that the most rudest hateful people get more glory, attention and awards, while the good, honest hard working, friendly people are ignored.
