Dude my gym teachers in middle school were so horrible that i refused to do any amount of exercise until i hit college, because by then I had rebuilt enough of my confidence to find exercise enjoyable. Malicious teachers will fuck you up
DUDE HOW DID I FORGET MS LOGAN.
Like most of my gym teachers were weirdly fine? Most of them gave you the option of walking laps at your own speed with a water bottle or doing whatever Sport we were supposed to be doing. But Ms Logan was openly contemptuous of anyone who didn't want to Sport, once kicked a soccer ball INTO MY INJURED ARM the first day I was allowed to be active again (I don't think that part was on purpose, to be clear) and then LAUGHED AT ME when I asked to go to the nurse because I was lightheaded from pain.
Legit one of the other PE teachers would routinely come in and rescue me from Ms Logan's class on the excuse that she wanted me to do office work for her.
Also she was smoking in the locker room once when it was freshly painted and literally caught it on fire so we all went home early that day.
But yeah, terrible PE teachers are a dime a dozen. I got lucky, by and large.
