I saved hundreds of my female students’ nudes

I’m a 24 year old English teacher at an all girls highschool and I’ve never been good with women. I’m not unattractive but I find it very difficult forming connections with them. I’m stout and don’t have the typical ‘gym body’ and I think that turns them off. I’m also fairly introverted and I find it difficult talking to people I don’t know. <br><br>I was very excited to get this job, not because I’m a creep, but because I just love teaching. English is my passion, and I put my heart and soul into every lesson I write, every paper I grade, and every class I teach. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see a student finally understand a difficult concept they’ve been struggling with. <br><br>So, I was ecstatic when I got the job. I was so heated to start. I spent the entire summer before my first year preparing the classroom, updating the curriculum, and getting to know the staff. I did everything right. I followed every rule, attended every meeting, participated in every group activity. I did it all and I was proud of myself. I felt like I finally belonged. <br><br>But it all went terribly wrong the day before the first day of school. I had arrived early to set up the classroom, and I had also made a rule book for my students. Little things like ‘raise your hand before speaking’ and ‘keep your phone away’. I had spent a lot of time writing this book, so I decided to email it to the students so they wouldn’t have to wait until the day after to read it. <br><br>I don’t know how it happened, but for some reason, the book was sent as an ‘open to view’ document. Meaning the students could edit it. At first I didn’t notice, but I started getting notifications from google docs saying things like ‘Suzie has entered the document’ and ‘Brittany has edited the document’. I opened the document and I was appalled. <br><br>The words were changed to describe sexual and crude acts. Some of the students were even saying racist and homophobic things. I was horrified. These were 14-18 year old GIRLS for crying out loud! Little did I know, I had made it even worse. <br><br>In my horror, I had accidentally deleted the document. I had no way of getting it back, so I spent hours making an even better one. It took me hours to recreate it, and I felt proud of myself for persevering. But now I’m a creep. <br><br>Because ‘open to view’ documents allow anyone you send it to to view your previous documents, they could all see my entire google drive. Which, of course, contains the nudes my girlfriend had sent to me a week prior to the incident. Not only do I feel like a creep, but my girlfriend also broke up with me when she found out. I don’t blame her, but still, it hurts. <br><br>Oh well, lesson learned.
