Stephanie, Shame on that teacher of yours! It's all right to get a bit stern with a more advanced student, but for her to lose patience with a beginner is inexcusable. Do not let this bad experience keep you from singing. Tell the list where you live (not exact address, duh) and someone may be able to recommend a reputable teacher.
In the meantime, just play with your voice. Do fun things like you would when you were little. Sing light siren sounds (high and low singing "ooo") and whatever else is fun. Don't worry if it's correct or even a real song. Just let your voice out. And, listen to some good singers. Good luck. Let us know how things go with you.
