How to Write An Essay About Someone You Dislike In School Or A Disrespectful Person?

1. Introduction:
   a. Introduce the person you know in school that you dislike. This person can be real or fictional (meaning: imaginary). He or she can be a teacher, a school worker, a student, a classmate or someone you create. You can also write about a real person with a fake name (eg. Johnny English, P. Diddy, Miss A). 
   b. Describe this person.
   Mr. Kwong, who teaches me Mathematics, is tall, muscular and menacing. Like a bear with a sore head, he is constantly angry and in bad mood.     

  

   He is of average height (meaning: he is not too tall and not too short). He wears a pair of thick-framed black, plastic spectacles and a constant frown on his face (meaning: he always looks serious or sad). I do not like him because ...
  

   Beautiful, petite (meaning: small and thin in an attractive way) and intelligent, she is easily the most popular girl in school. However, all of the attention from teachers and boys has gone to her head (meaning: If something goes to someone's head, it makes them think that they are very important and makes them a less pleasant person) and made her a proud person. 



2. Body (at least three paragraphs):
    i. You can write about his/her habits and behaviours.
   His shirt is always stained and dirty. He always picks his nose and wipes his fingers on his shirt. He talks loudly in the staff room and shows disrespect for his fellow colleagues. He also yells at students all the time, calling them names and ...       

   She wears designer perfume and expensive watch to school. She would show off the branded things she buys to her group of friends and fish for compliments. She does not mix with students who she thinks are not fit to be her friends and ...

  
    ii. Write about an incident of how he/she mistreated people. You can create a fictional incident and make it as dramatic as possible. Use past tense, because you are writing about something which happened in the past.       
   He once stole his classmate's pencil case and claimed that it was his. When the poor boy begged him to return him his belonging, he turned violent and screamed at him. When the boy tried to snatch the pencil case back, he slapped him so hard that the poor boy fell down. The discipline teacher who happened to pass by called them to the office and questioned both of them. Instead of admitting to his wrongdoing, he called the poor boy a thief and showed the discipline teacher his name that he recently wrote on the pencil case. The discipline teacher ...


   She once kicked a stray cat into the drain. “Get out of my way, you useless, dirty thing!” The poor cat yelped in pain. Her friends stood around her and laughed at the poor cat. They...

   iii. Write more about the incident. What happened next? Maybe you tried to stop him/her from hurting another person and gave him/her a piece of advice, but he/she refused to listen to you and made fun of you instead? You can also introduce a new character to help develop the incident. Write how the incident took a turn.

3. Conclusion:
    a. Tell the readers what happened to the person after the incident. Is he/she a changed person?
    b. You can also write that you hope that the person you dislike will realise his/her mistakes soon and be a better person.


Tips:
**You can make your story more interesting by starting your essay with an incident that makes you dislike the person. Then introduce the person you dislike in the second paragraph. For example,

   “You dirty thing, get out of my way!” She yelled and kicked the grey stray cat into the drain, leaving the poor cat yelping in pain. Her friends cheered her on. They stood around her and laughed at the poor cat, drenched in dirty mud.
    Beautiful, petite and intelligent, Nellie is easily the most popular girl in school. However, all of the attention from teachers and boys has gone to her head and made her a proud person. She... 
or
   “Do your work! Keep quiet! Hey you, stop talking and listen to me! I say, listen to me! Look at me when I am talking to you! Look at me, you stupid boy!” He shouted at the top of his voice. All the veins were visible on his neck. He threw the poor boy’s exercise book out of the classroom and ordered him to stand on the table.
   That was Mr. Kwong, my Mathematics teacher. He is of average height. He wears a pair of thick-framed black, plastic spectacles and a constant frown on his face. I do not like him because ...

See, the stories seem to be more exciting right?

**You should also ask yourself all the wh- questions (What, who, why, when, where, how) and try to answer all of them in your essay. They will make your story more appealing to the readers.

Hope you will try out my suggestions and tips. Make your story as dramatic as possible, so that you will keep your readers interested. 

Let your imagination soars and your pen takes flight! Good luck, darlings!
