A mate did something like that with one quite unliked history teacher. What he did was a bit crueler and not as psychological.
She has, sorry, had, a plant that she, 'loved like her child.' Basically she mothered that plant some ridiculous amount, an outlet for her frustrations with her classes. Anyway the story goes as such.
It started off with just moving the plant from one side of the desk to the other, now she was VERY possessive of this plant, and they first noticed the effect when she went flying into one, things hitting people and so on. Well if that's not an invitation to an adolescent to carry on then nothing is. It then moved on further, a bit of string tied into a noose and placed around the stalk, pins used to stick leaves to the notice boards. Then it carried on, and she started to give up but it was basically her baby being mutilated before her eyes. She knew it was the class, but did not know which one. Holes were appearing in the leaves, but the final blow came one day when the plant just died.
There's no real reason for it dying apart from continuous torture over the months, maybe she put it out of her misery. But when one boy mentioned that the plant wasn't looking all too healthy she ran out the class crying.
She's never been the same since, yes it was evil but apparently oh so satisfying.
Last time I went back there to visit Wilson, Mr. Rathbone told me to get back to class...I was like "uh....hey, remember when I GRADUATED?"
