Today, at my school they were having a carnival to raise money. One of the patrons suggested that if they wanted to make money, they should have people pledge money to make me cover my ugly face with a bag. The school got over $500, and I had to wear a bag. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was elected "class mom", even though I didn’t want to do it. I was also handed several envelopes in the hectic school hallway, containing parental cash contributions for the year. I lost several of the envelopes while rushing to my car, and now have to contribute €100 instead of €25. FML
Today, at my school, the student council is trying to raise $5000 for Haiti. They are doing so by playing the song from High School Musical in the hallways and cafeteria everyday until they get the money. FML
Today, my leadership class was trying to decide who would run the kissing booth in our local carnival. Someone suggested me, to which the director replied, "We'd never make any profit with her." FML
Today, I made a bet with my classmate that I would dare to play a weird song in front of the professor. I did, and as promised, she was supposed to give me $20, but she said it was just a joke. FML
Today, my town had a carnival to raise money for cancer. I ran a kissing booth, when a really cute guy came up paid his $20, looked at me, and said "not even for cancer." He took his money and left. FML
Today, it was wacky tacky day at my school. I did not participate, however, I did get voted the tackiest outfit in my school. FML
Today, I went our school's football game against their rival team. Before the games started, I got my school's logo painted on my face. After nearly 5 hours of watching the game, I went home to wash the paint off my face, only to find the logo had been sunburned onto my face. FML
Today, for my birthday, my family offered to take one of my friends to the movies with me. I had to pay a random person in my class to pose as a friend of mine, so that I wouldn't look pathetic in front of my parents. She forgot my name three times. They didn't buy it. FML
Today, it was our class field trip. I got five dollars from ten different people because they wanted me to sit away from them. FML
Today, I volunteered to cater an event at school. A little girl asked for a big slice of cake so I gave it to her. She then puked everywhere and her parents blamed me and made me clean it up. The little girl sat there smiling at me while I cleaned. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sue for emotional damages (: that is not right. It could even get to the local news.

Next carnival, you should suggest that the ringleader of the paper bag incident must wear a plastic bag over their head for pledges.

You know what, I was so shocked by the situation that I actually didn't think about it, but you're kind of right. I wouldn't blame OP for not doing so - peer pressure and money are involved and as a 'child' OP is still a vulnerable person - however, I'm pretty sure I would've just walked out. That said, in a school as ****** as this I suppose it's possible he was being violently threatened?

I put ydi because you should not have let them put a bag over your head. That is an awful thing of them to do! You don't deserve the comment at all - but you didn't have to go along with it - though I know pressure can be hard.

At least you get to sue them now.... Take it to the papers, the school will never live it down.

The good news is that you won't get sexually harassed in the future. That's a blessing.

Though that was quite insensitive, I'm sure people just found it humorous and that's why they raised so much from it. Don't take it personally.

Argh, there were no other replies when I hit reply but it seems like I've jumped into the middle of an argument now...that said, giving your comments a quick skim, why can't you both be right? As I said in my previous post OP is not yet fully an adult and they're dealing with bullying which is hard. I wouldn't have stood for this but not everyone is that strong and we don't really know the full story (both about this event and previous bullying). Also, I've come to realise over the years that blaming people for being stupid or lacking enough confidence or whatever doesn't solve much - you can be pissed off that some kid did something stupid and say they deserved the consequences that followed but at the end of the day, that doesn't help that kid or others like them. Sometimes you just have to accept that not everyone can be as amazingly awesome as you and you have to be humble and helpful. Honestly, I didn't think I'd be saying this a couple of years ago (I was very much 'you do dumb shit then don't come crying to me when you get ****** on, learn from your own damn mistakes already) but at some point I think you just grow up and make these realisations. Long story short - both standing up for yourself and being bullied are important and valid issues here but it's not that simple and you can't fully blame one or the other.

To 97- I agree with you fully. You make a lot of sense and I hope crewboy agrees with you too and doesn't proceed to call you a pansy and what not because you didn't fully agree with him either lol. :)

How hard is it to say no to a stupid ass idea like that? Sounds like you're easy, and the school gained 500 more dollars because you can't stand up for yourself. The real world is gonna mess you up good.
