When I was a wee young girl scout (elementary school aged, maybe 3rd/4th grade), it was my turn to teach a song! And I had been waiting all week! Which is forever when you're 8/9 years old.

And then the leader's oldest daughter decided to show up at our meeting. Oldest daughter was given permission to teach the song that day INSTEAD OF me. Oldest daughter taught the exact same song I wanted to teach.

So, naturally, I started crying, because oldest daughter wasn't even in our troop.

Troop leader (I think she was the troop leader?) decided to take me outside, and berate me for crying, because I was being "selfish", and I needed to stop. ~~Even though I had been waiting a week, and would it really have been so much trouble for us to both teach a song?~~ She basically told me that my emotions were bad, and I was bad for having them, because even though I was upset, and it wasn't fair (and it only wasn't fair because SHE DECIDED TO LET HER DAUGHTER DO THE THING), I was just crying for attention, obviously. It fucked me up for years.

God, I wish I could run into her, just so I could smile and say, in response to being asked how I was doing (as is polite, and she is nothing if not "polite") "in therapy right now to deal with that helpful "lesson" you gave me in Girl Scouts. ^_^"

She'd probably assume it was my fault for ~not understanding her~ or whatever.

oh my godddddd that is the worst thing ever

seriously, i'm so sorry, and it's also definitely a feeling that i also have in my own life, so.

Thanks, but also, ouch for you. :( Bitter past high-five?

People like that really shouldn't have any teaching roles with little kids. They clearly don't understand them.

Seriously, though.

Like, I (personally) feel like karma came back to bite her, a little, so that helps, but seriously.

:( I just want to give small you a big hug.

I got the same speech from my stepdad when I was a kid. I can't even cry at funerals or make jokes in public because of that asshole.

Small me would have appreciated it. :)

Ugh, your stepdad sounds like the worst. D: I'm sorry.

I hate people who do things like that. It's such a fucked up way to treat a kid, and yeah, that crap absolutely sticks with you and is so hard to work past.

I'm sorry.

Thank you. <3

I had same type of troop leader bullshit.

We were having a sleep over and the girls started bullying me and pushing me and pulling on my hair. I started crying and the troop leader acted so put out by it and told me to grow up, and was pissed that my mom had to come get me. She lied to my mom to cover for her bitch of a daughters antics and made it seem like I was a cry baby. They did they same shit at another bigger sleepover that had girl scouts from all over the area and I bitch slapped her in front of a group of girls. I got in trouble of course, but at least it was a tiny victory for me.

also, I've seen so many HBIC girl scout mom leader stories. I'm not sure how they do it anymore, but the leader should never be a relative or a mom or someone who intimately knows the troupe. Too much nepotism goes down. I know it's a small organization and they couldn't afford to send out trained people, but really they should.

This has been my experience, too. I was only in Girl Scouts for a few years, but the troop leader's daughter was one of the school's snottiest Mean Girls and her mother wasn't much better. There was blatant favoritism for her daughter and her daughter's circle of friends.

Yeah, but "should" and "can" are two very different animals, and the latter is one they likely can't afford seeing as that would mean taking on a ton of new employees.

Seriously. The best troop leader I had was the neighbor of one of the girls in the troop, and had no kids in one (I don't even think she had kids tbh).

It was just so much nicer, and when she was tag-teaming with a parent, she made sure to keep things fair. It was nice.

I'm sorry anon. *Hugs* That does stick with you. Shame on that stupid troop leader.

When I was in school, i sat in the wrong seat on accident, and it was like... the millionth time I'd screwed up in that class. So I muttered that I was an idiot. The other teacher only heard "idiot" and took me out of the room to lecture me. I had to tell her that I was calling myself an idiot - and when I did? She didn't even apologize. It was awful.

Thanks *hugs back*

Oh man, that teacher sounds like a real piece of work. :( I'm sorry that happened to you.

The crying part reminds me of when I was in elementary school, we did Secret Santas one year and on the last day everyone was supposed to give their person something extra nice -- meaning store-bought, a box of candy or a little stuffed animal. But what did I get? A teeny tiny "bookmark" that the girl who had me had cut crookedly out of regular white paper and glued a string on in a loopy pattern. She'd probably made it in one minute that morning while I wasn't looking. Of course I cried. I tried not to, but I couldn't help it. And the teacher took me out of the classroom and gave me the angriest lecture about how rude and selfish I was and how I should appreciate the girl's thought. (What thought? There was no thought in that half-assed present!) And she made me apologize when the girl should've been the one to apologize for not listening to the instructions and leaving me as the only one in the class without a nice gift.

D:

Oh my god that's awful, and that teacher... I'm so sorry that happened. ;A;
