contradict/counter

I remember a teacher who used to contradict/counter at my suggestion/advice/question in the class, just to insult me in front of the class. So one day I decided to get even with her, and I followed behind her while she was going down the school building stairs. I pushed her over, she fell over such that her head bumped to the floor.

Are these sentences correct?

  • 'Contradict' is better than 'counter', but you contradict a statement rather than a question or even a suggestion.
  • It sounds a lttle odd to speak of the student giving advice.
