Today, it was my first day at my new school. I've never been the new girl before, so I asked my best friend for advice. She said, "Whatever you do, do not, under any circumstances, be yourself." FML

Today, I asked a good friend what she thought would make me more attractive to women. Her advice was, "Don't be yourself." FML

Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML

Today, it's my first day at a new school. I transferred here halfway through the year to get away from a girl who bullies me. She's apparently bullied her mom into transferring her here as well. FML

Today, it was my first day at my new high school. I put on a tiny bit of makeup, just some mascara, to feel more confident. I got in the car and my mom started yelling about how horrible my makeup is, basically calls me a slut for wearing it, and makes me take it off. I ended up crying in the bathroom on my first day.

Today, it's my first day of high school. It's also my first day of a three-day in-school suspension. The reason? I sat next to a girl and she immediately got up and told the teacher that she didn't "feel safe". FML

Today, I went to my first class of the year. The first thing the teacher said was, "I hate this f*cking school." FML

Today, I started my new job as a teacher. Worried about how I looked, I asked a coworker if I looked okay. She said, "You look fine. Just like a normal high school kid." I spent the next half hour convincing her that I was not a student, but a teacher. FML

Lonesome today

By The unfavorite - 26/10/2022 09:00 - United States

Today, I've noticed a pattern with my classmates: Every time a new student shows up, they are treated by my classmates as though they've known each other for years. Everyone except me. When I first came along, I was more or less a wallflower. No one wanted anything to do with me. The same is true today. FML

Today, I had to show a new student around my school. Normally, that wouldn't be such a bad thing, but the student was my crazy, overly-attached ex. I transferred schools to get away from her in the first place. FML

Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML

In my experience, my best friend(s) are usually the ones that can joke slightly harshly with me without anyone taking offense, so I wouldn't take it to heart. Just be a nice, genuine person and you will have friends in no time!

A little advice from someone who went to a few different high schools. Always be who you are, everyone knows when you're putting on an act.

Dont take it offensively. Sometimes It takes time for others to accept who you are and you don't wanna create a bad impression initially. She probably loves you for who you are and is looking out for you :)

Take this advice serious because your best friend might see something you cannot see.

It'd be nice to know what I'm not seeing about me, though.

She's your friend so she's just gonna joke around. I'm sure she didn't mean it. Just strut on in there and say "I'm here, I'm me so if you don't like it you can shove it."

1. Smile 2. Join a club that you're interested in 3. Profit in an abundance of friends

Try to be an awesome person to be around. You'll generally attract people who are the same.

Sounds like she wants you to have fun with this rare opportunity. Have people call you by your middle name, pretend to be from a Mafia family and/or claim to have some paranormal abilities. Re-invent yourself!

#23, thanks. I often go to jobs pretending to be an experienced engineer, but within a few months they find out I was just using their network to be on FML all day and I have to find a new job! The pretending is fun, though, saying things like viscous, tribology, entropy, strain, Nusselt number, kilo pascals, rate of penetration, core dump, etc. It'd be cool if I knew what any of that meant ;)
