not that i am saying you're supporting this but - this same type of argument is used for justification on why people should just "get over it" or "just avoid it" in terms of sexual harassment

sadistic assholes can't always just "be avoided"

I'm not denying that. I'm saying that if the parents and teacher made an overly big deal about the allergy - i.e. set the child up to be victimized - it's really not surprising that this occurred.

Yes the child that did it is a jerk, but don't give jerks fodder to abuse you. Keep your medical conditions and private life private. It would be like if someone was epileptic and the teacher announced it to the whole class - you know there would be an a-hole out there faking seizures and such.
