1. Talk to your teacher.
2. Talk to your teacher. Be specific about what they are doing that makes you believe they do not like you. It is most likely a misunderstanding.
3. Remember that you won't necessarily have the same relationship with all of your teachers. However, it is realistic that you can have a positive relationship with all your teachers. It is all based on the choices (See "Choices" link.) you make.
4. Identify what the issue is: Is it academic or behavioral? If you can determine the root of the problem, you may be able to fix it on your own. Despite what you may think, your teacher only wants you to succeed.
