So when I was in junior secondary school three (jss3) I was this type of student that talks very well and I play a lot too, I was among the people that decides what happens in our class then and our group can never be intimidated by anyone not even the senior students or the class prefect and we are also brilliant and smart.

I associate with teachers freely especially our class teacher then except ONE MAN, that "one man" was one of the school teachers and that period he was recently promoted, as I was told he recently got born again as of then. . So one day this "one man" came to our class and was addressing the student.. I was being distracted with something in my locker.. he came straight to my seat, opened my locker and took something from it..... Guess what he took ? 🤔

A love letter.. I received that letter from an Ss1 student in the opposite school. The teacher read the love letter and summoned me to his office... On getting there, he handed over a letter to me to give to my parents telling me I'm suspended from coming to school for"one week" I screamed... A lot of things came to my mind, immediately I knelt down, crying and pleading for forgiveness (since my stay in school I've been very careful not to attract suspension to myself and now he's telling me to my face that I'm suspended and the reason is what can make my Dad to withdraw me from school entirely) I continued pleading and explaining every details concerning the letter to him. He looked at me with pity and asked me to stand up taking back the suspension letter from me. I went back to my class very happy thinking all was over until he came to our class. He read the letter to everyone's hearing, he ridiculed me, called me a lot of names in the presence of my classmates (I received the letter from a student asking me to be his girlfriend) I haven't replied and I haven't accepted but he was treating me so bad to the extent I became so much afraid of him.

So one day, he gave us a text on his subject, I didn't do so well in the test, he flogged me, said some hurtful words to me the whole class laughed including my friends it was just few of my friends that were not happy. He kept reminding me of that every time he comes to teach in our class, I was doing bad in his subject, I was so depressed.. every morning I feel like not going to school, I talked to my dad I want to change school he objected cos I didn't give him a tangible reason. I continued like that as an unhappy child, always feeling guilty. Every time the teacher's words keeps ringing to my ear... "You're very ugly, I wonder how the fool that wrote a letter to you would be. You're just going down you're not doing good in my subject because all your focus is in boys and corrupted things, you're not good for anything, little sinner" and lots more. I would cry and cry my eyes out yet I didn't tell anyone what I was passing through cos I didn't want my dad to know about the letter and the teacher has succeeded in planting Fear in me. I accepted all he said about me, I believed I was very ugly, I can never do more in my academic rather I was going down the more, I feel less of myself and always hide myself, I wasn't outspoken any longer even at home and everywhere. All these things were happening the teacher didn't know what I was passing through even till he left the school, he was just happy he made me a quiet girl.

Mostly when people get born again newly, the zeal and joy will be moving them mightily to correct the sinners, teach the young ones and all that... Pls be very careful how you do that.. you might be killing them gradually in the name of correction without knowing it. Lets Learn how to love and correct with love, don't make them feel they're the worse sinners, they can never be forgiven or nothing good can come from them. This my teacher never talked to me about Christ upon he claimed it was the Holy spirit that revealed to him I have a love letter in my locker, yet he didn't tell me I can have the Holy spirit also, rather he acts like Christ won't have anything to do with an ugly girl like me. But I thank God for Jesus Christ my saviour, who through some persons saved me from depression, low self-esteem, inferiority complex and lots of them.

Young ones pls don't give ears to people's negative words and humiliation, try and open up to a trusted person anytime you need help and know so well that Jesus Christ loves you and cares about you.
