What's said, who says it, why?

I'm alright, and even amused when my English teacher saying that our essays suck, but irked when my history teacher says virtually the same thing.

I guess it really does matter who says things. Or maybe it was the way the words were being said. It's not fair, really, I know. Yet it's how I feel.

Some people just have the persona and reputations to pull things off.
