Yesterday I got a 10 minute bitching at for arriving a literal minute late to a lesson (no, really). I handed my work in at the end of the lesson and went home. The next day (today) I come in to find out he told everyone he wouldn't accept it because I didn't hand it directly to him, but left it on his desk (I left early because as soon as you were done you could go). So I confront him about it and he lies right to my face and says he hasn't seen it. I knew something was wrong so I asked him again and he totally ignored me until he saw that my teacher was was him, and went red while telling me to "JUST GET IT TO HIM".

I know this isn't a huge deal, I gave it to him again in the end and he has accepted it, but things like this can easily validate any fears I have of rejection.

Why is this only happening to me?

I think I may follow in 31s footsteps and leave, working part time to allow me to have fun while earning living money. But eventually I want to be paid a reasonable amount for what I do to support a family.
