We always hear about students bullying each other in schools. And we know it’s bad. What we hear way more rarely is that teachers experience bullying too. And usually, it comes from those same students.
Recently, TikTok user@kevinenvycame to the platform stating that they are quitting their job due to kids being way too mean. And the video gathered more than 1M views.

In August, a teacher went viral on TikTok after quitting a job after their first day because they were fed up with how the kids behaved

“So it’s my first day being a teacher and I’m quitting”
“It was my first day, I don’t want this, I went to school for no reason. I thought I can handle it.”

“These kids are just mean, they’re rude, they’re smelly, they were sneezing everywhere. So, today’s my last day”

Sadly, we can’t even imagine how common bullying of teachers is
Also, the study found that female teachers suffered student bullying slightly more often than male ones. On the other hand, male teachers more often had students organizing others against them and lying to get them in trouble.

Quite surprisingly, commentators were supportive of the teacher. A lot of them shared similar situations they found themselves in or someone they knew experienced. Others advised the teacher to try to go to different schools or grades, maybe there the experience would be a bit better. Or just try to be a substitute teacher beforehand.
People online agreed – being a teacher is not for the weak
