What can I do if I have conflict with a teacher?
How do I solve the feud between me and my teacher? I think she hates me and even if I do something good or get a good test score, she mark's it as an F. I didnt do anything to her; I'm just always quiet in her room since I'm a introvert I dont like talking to people. She recently moved me to the front of the class for some odd reason. I had her for cooking and sewing class last year and she actually liked me but now that I'm in her CCA class, I think she hates me.
I never did anything wrong to her. Sometimes I think it's because I'm a Black African American Muslim who wears a hijab in America idk.

Hi Hhy,
I am really sorry you are in a position where you have to learn to navigate these challenges so early. To be honest, it sucks at any age, but I hope as a result of these responses, you see that you are not alone.
I really like Kelvin's feedback. I would only add one piece. In the event your school counselors are overloaded and stretched thin, I would recommend considering a trusted teacher, coach or club advisor as your adult ally. In this scenario, its helpful to have adult support but I also understand that that may look different depending on the circumstances so I want you to know that you have options with whom you choose to turn to.
I know this is hard, but you can do this, and Kelvin's step-by-step instructions are solid.
Cheering you on

As the child of an Educator and a teacher myself, I recommend you go to the teacher and ask her for a parent conference.This is not something that you should take on alone. If your parents are not available, ask another one of your teachers to be present. Once you all have the meeting scheduled, share with the teacher your feelings, let her know how she makes you feel, then listen to her feedback.
Once you both have spoken, I would ask for your parent(s) or teacher to weigh in. You should not have this to worry about, but instead be focusing on your studies and graduation. I hope this helps, and that you are able to resolve this student/teacher conflict. You have a great future ahead of you! Wishing you all the BEST!

Have you tried talking to her? Asking her if there was a problem that you don’t realize? If it were me, I would definitely talk to her after class. I think you’ll feel better and it might make it easier on you in class.

To tackle the issue with your teacher in a more uplifting and empowering manner, start by acknowledging the emotions involved. Approach the situation with a compassionate and open mind. Briefly outline the problem, and make sure to convey your positive intentions towards finding a solution.
Remember, it's essential to be an active listener and truly seek to understand your teacher's perspective first. Keeping an open and honest communication will pave the way for a more effective conversation. Once you've heard their side, express your own viewpoint and the impact the issue has on you.
Now, teamwork comes into play. Collaboratively work alongside your teacher to create an action plan or determine the next steps to resolve the issue. Maintain a positive and proactive approach throughout the process.
Track the progress you make together, and express your gratitude for their cooperation. By tackling the issue with kindness, patience, and understanding, you'll not only resolve the problem but also strengthen your relationship for the future. Keep up the great work!
