This study investigates the profound impact of aggressive behaviour on students by a teacher and what were the long-term effects the victims suffered in their life due to a teacher’s aggressive action in that particular period. This study aims to understand the need to treat students with dignity and concern for the issues they face during their studies. There is no doubt that teachers create the mindset of an individual through which they choose the direction of their goals. Therefore, it’s crucial to realize what disaster a teacher can bring to an individual’s life while adopting aggressive behaviour. This has not just ruined the teaching profession’s image in students’ mind, but has also put a question mark on the dedication of teachers towards their teaching practices in their classrooms. In a country like Pakistan, physical, verbal, emotional, and mental violence has been part of the classrooms. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from 115 university students through a closed-ended self-developed questionnaire. In this study, the student’s point of view was the center of focus and how their life got affected due to a teacher’s disrespectful behaviour termed as their ‘Aggressive Nature’ that disturbed their personality development and created hurdle to achieve success in their life.
