I don't know, it really seems like my history teacher hates me, i'm a seventh grader in middle school you see, she ALWAYS ignores me! One day she walked into the class room, everyone (and yes, i mean everyone) was talking and she yelled at ME for talking while everyone else in the room was talking just as loud as me! And I'm actually quite quiet in school, so i really don't have a reputation for being loud, honestly. And also, this teacher she talks ALL the time, she NEVER teaches us anything, she talks about EVERYTHING, you name it! Puberty, Politics, Food, Clothes, Herself, Her family, Hair, ANYTHING!!! So whenever we're talking in class as a group about anything, some of the kids in the class share stories about their past times and stuff like that, and whenever a student shares a story the teacher will be like "oh very interesting" and she'll start asking the student questions and stuff. But whenever I share a story she'll be like "ok" and she moves on to the next person, and sometimes, she doesn't even say anything when i share a story, she'll just go straight to the next person. I know this may not mean that she HATES me, but I just wanna know why she treats me differently that's all. And I've never done anything to tick her off or anything like that, in fact i barely talk in her class, i only talk in the classes that i feel comfortable in, i get really good grades in her class, in fact i have the second highest grade in her class, so i just wanna know why she treats me differently....that's all. Remember I'm 12 in seventh grade!! And please no rude comments saying "grow up'' or anything, please just have mercy on me...i'm sensitive
 
This may sound hard, but try asking her. Do it after class, or during a quiet time, not right after you have been spoken to or ignored.
Say something like, "ms. ---, maybe I am being sensitive, but is there something I have done or said that upset you? I get the feeling that something about me annoys you and I would like to change it." Keep it low key and not accusing. It is highly possible that she doesn't realize that you feel singled out for different treatment.
If you can't say it to her, maybe you can write it as a note or an email.
 
history Teachers are generally cranky and bitter, only once has this not been true for me, and I learned nothing in that class. Cranky, bitter people tend to be arbitrary, you're just unlucky. It's nothing personal.
