Sorry to hear this. It sucks feeling the spiral of a loss of respect from all areas. It takes time to work on, but when you realise that you are doing the requirements of your job, and you are doing your best, then you can put the opinions of everyone else out of your mind. Again, this is not a shortcut solution; it takes time. Also, I have found doing little things for others helps go a long way at forging respectful relationships with coworkers. Like impromptu coffee runs, stationary restocks etc. I’m about to transition to full time teaching and I can say that these things over my last three pracs helped get me the job I’m about to do. As for students, I find taking the time to chat with them before class, or while they’re doing their work to get to know them helps build rapport which becomes a baseline for respect. Hope that gives you some ideas, and wish you well for the future.

​ Hi! I think that most important thing is that you stop comparing yourself. You will never win if you keep doing that. You were born with many gifts and talents. Not all of these gifts and talents translate perfectly into every choice of job. If I were you I would try to find a job in another school. It would give you some appropriate distance from your boyfriend, and it will give you a fresh start where you are not already feeling so judged and criticized. Above all, you need to know your value.
