Are C*nts. Excuse my language but they arent worth my time thinking of insulting vocabulary.

Today I had 2 lesson gap on my timetable, a study period, or as students like to call them: free's. During this time we can use parts of college, in my case the library to get on with extra revision, homework  etc. I was sitting at a computer doing photography work and talking to a friend next to me, lets call her A, we were talking quietly as the normal librarian (who ive known roughly 6 years) was sick and there was a cover person. 

About 30 mins in everyone is quiet because the cover person wont stop yelling at anyone who breathes, I grab a pack of sweets cos my blood sugar was low and munch quietly before I know it Im being yelled at for eating and I quickly respond, oh Im type 1 diabetic Im allowed to which she doesnt reply only glare. Five minutes pass and she walks away and then comes over to me and demands I hand her my phone, which leaves me quite shocked because as part of the 6th form college phones are a privilege that we have during our free time, not in lessons of course. At which point everyone (of which the majority are also using phones) are staring at me. So I just do it.

I get on with my work feeling frustrated and confused as to what I had done wrong and decide as lunch approaches to go and see the 6th form leader, who has been given my phone. I explain to her my point of view and show her the large amount of work I have completed that study session and she tells me that a teacher has a right to confiscate my phone at any time, to which I reply the girl next to me and everyone else uses there's (there is no rule against it) but was told that was irrelevant (I dont think so, its targeting/ bullying). We also discussed the eating, to which she told me to control my medical condition better and if I need to get up and leave the room, (anyone with Type 1 or knows the condition will know that this is not an option and I need to eat and also puts me at more of a risk). At this point I was quite upset and so left the office and sat behind the building ending up in tears.

I rang a friend to calm down because I felt so volatile and scared, he helped me calm down and I said I was going home as I only had one lesson in the afternoon and more study time, and needed to go home. I rang my nan to see if I could talk to her, but she didnt pick up. My mother and father were both there when I got home and I told them exactly what happened getting worked up again about the whole thing, my father (the calmer of the two) rang the school and said spoke to her, which got heated up and resulted in basically that teacher taking my phone off me because Id stood up to her about eating and the person in charge continuing to blame me for the situation because of my condition, which is ridiculous, there is only so much I can control. My parents are arranging a meeting which the college is reluctant too but it needs to happen, im anxious and feel small, I don't like making a fuss but Im not going to let people walk over me because of a medical condition, you wouldnt accuse someone in a wheelchair of taking up too much space in the corridor, my condition, however invisible, is just as real, not to say more important, but I am still registered disabled in the eyes of my government and I have rights.

Agreed? Or am I being a drama queen?
