Taking Matters Into His Own Hands
I reached a point where I accepted that none of the grownups would help me. So one day, he called me Mimi, and I looked him in the eyes and said, “You’re not going to appreciate my reaction if you call me that again. I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but it won’t be pleasant.” That was the truth. I just thought I would deal with it when it happened.
Not even an hour later, he proceeded to call me Mimi again. The principal was busy leaving his office, and what happened next resulted in his suspension.
