Okay, **etv78** , here’s some advice: you really, REALLY need to start developing a much thicker skin, especially if you plan on being a teacher. Kids can be nasty little shits, and if you get this hurt by a freaking message board, you’ll never make it through the first day.

I mean, good luck and all, but you seriously need to work on your issues with taking criticism. Even if you have to fake it til you make it.

Faking it shouldn’t be a problem.
