It was more what they didn't do. Back in high school, I got bullied. And one time, during a longer break, another student and me, we figured, we'd borrow a soccer ball from another student, without asking.

Well, when that student returned, of course, he'd take issue with it, not because there was an issue, but because I was involved. And the other student who played ball with me, the spineless traitor, started lying that it was entirely my idea to grab the ball.

The teacher did a whole intervention thingy, sitting the whole class down to talk about this, without realizing that:

• It's a fucking non-issue. Even if I had destroyed that ball, just buy a fucking 'nother.
• Of course, I did not fucking come to the idea to take a ball without someone else who also wanted to play.

I didn't get punished or anything. But that teacher, being an adult and all, should have realized that it's absolute horseshit and should have had my back.

When I was about 13 I was spending a lot of my lunchtimes in the library working on programming a game. One day I logged on and saw all my code had been deleted. I assumed I'd done it by accident and pulled the latest copy from git. The next day I was called into the assistant head's office because "games are not allowed on school computers". He then for some reason told me that the graphics I'd made myself were bad and that my game was buggy and that if I continued to do that in school I would be suspended. He did, however, say that I could do it at the computer club which was on every Thursday night. Great, except there was no computer club.
