I don't have a problem if anyone I know sees me, it's when they think my camera bag is a handbag!
Their insults have gotten better over the years then! I had a pretty poor experience with students and teachers, even though I managed to get the grades I wanted at the end of play.
I went to pastoral many times for various things and all they wanted to do was check people's phones when it was nothing to do with those things. Useless in my opinion, you just have to toughen it out. It's a high school/secondary school, no matter how much reputation, faith or lectures they wish to offer students, it won't detract from the typical patheticness of the attitude of most kids. It doesn't really ever stop beyond into further education or above, but it starts developing into jokes and winding up instead of bullying and taunting as everyone progresses. Take everything with a pinch of salt and you'll be fine. It's when you take things to heart that things start going downhill.
