Today, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, as I was yelled at by a middle school teacher in front of 30 6th graders for breaking the rule of "no cell phones in school." Luckily, I escaped being sent to the office after explaining I'm a 21 year old college student doing student teaching observations, not a middle schooler. FML
Today, after working out at the gym, I went to grab my bag, and realized that my phone was missing. Panicking, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number to tell her I'd lost it. It took me until the last ring to realize what I was doing. FML
Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML
Today, I forgot to bring a letter to my secondary school, so I went to detention. I told them it got lost, but it's only when my parents phoned and told them the same thing that they believed it. So I got detention for nothing. FML
Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML
Today, our teacher forgot to collect our phones when we arrived at school. We almost managed to take our phones back to the dormitory but someone's phone rang TWICE in the corridor and she remembered the whole thing. FML
Today, I tried to charge my phone at school by removing the socket for the fan. All the computers in the room turned off. I accidentally removed the power cables for the computers and got suspended. FML
Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML

Have the schools head on a platter for unreasonable treatment. This was an emergency situation in which you had no other choice. You were not disrupting a class or using it for conversation. Maybe you could have pushed the emergency call button in the elevator, but that's no excuse for the school's actions.

dont you think stealing a car is a little more extreme then using a cell phone in an emergency at school, and what if there was a masked gunmen at that school would she have gotten in trouble then, no, because its an emergency.

this is stupid. someone said it's like stealing a car to take your family to the hospital. no, it's like using your phone in an elevator so you don't have to stay in there for hours...plus you KNOW the school officials would have asked, "why didn't you just use your phone?"

this is fake. schools can't do that. that happened to a girl at my school and she actually got an award. I go to the strictest school in my state and it's private and all girls school. theres no way that's true.

My school and many didn't un-ban phones after Columbine. In fact, many still ban them. The truth is, they can take your phone, but it's illegal for them to not return it at the end of the day. Many school boards think their rules are above state and federal laws, but unless it's a dangerous object, they HAVE to return it. If they don't return it, have a lawyer contact them and read them the law.

Thank you public school system! Thank you once again for screwing people over and making stupid laws that make absolutely NO SENSE! I'm just glad to not have to go to school against my will anymore.
