Today, I am expected to write an 8 page essay, due tonight. The reason why I don't even have one page yet? My mom decided to take away the only computer I have the essay saved on because I have an 'F' in English. The essay is for English. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told that, although I was sick on the last day before break, they would still accept the 24 page essay that I had written. Tonight, as I went to print it out, I found that my dad had "cleaned up a bit" on my computer, including the documents from last semester. I have school tomorrow. FML
Today, I broke my dominant hand. My teacher insists we hand-write our essays. I called and asked if it was okay for me to type up the essays. She said no. I have two essays due tomorrow, which count for half my grade. FML
Today, I realized I forgot to write a 5000 word essay for my English class. I tried to be calm since I had until midnight to finish, and it was only 8pm. I typed for three hours straight,and finished the assignment. I read over the instruction again, and realized it only had to be 500 words. FML
Today, I got an F because I’m an idiot and wrote my essay on WW1 instead of WW2. I offered to resubmit a correct essay, but my mom stormed to school to demand it be changed to at least a B, because it was a good essay, even if it was on the wrong war. God, she’s impossible and embarrassing. FML
Today, my mum deleted my college research assignment on rape because the subject was too vulgar. I had worked on it for the past month and it was worth 50% of my grade. It's due tomorrow. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, my mom woke me up in the middle of the night to make me help my brother write an essay. I read what he wrote so far, gave him my suggestions, and went back to bed. She woke me up 30 mins later because he just sat and stared at his paper instead of fixing anything. Somehow that's my fault. FML
Today, I found out that my ten-page paper, which has taken me two months to construct perfectly and is worth 30% of my grade, was on the wrong book. It’s due tomorrow. FML
Today, I had to hand write a 10 page essay for one of my classes. When I turned it in I got an automatic zero. It was written in blue. Not black. FML
Today, I was busy writing my English final paper and all of a sudden my computer just chose to freeze. I thought Microsoft Word would save it, but alas, 4 pages down the dumpster. Plus my earphones stopped working and I can't afford to buy a new pair. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your own fault for having an F in the first place.

I know its a long shot..But a long long time ago...You know, back when people had proper grammar skills and spell check wasn't around and you actually needed to be able to PRINT properly, they had a device known as a pencil. Hopefully you can find such a device in your house. How can a teacher discriminate against a household that doesn't have a computer? If they do just tell the to **** off and that you don't have one..What can they do?

They look straight at you and tell you that there are public libraries with computers and printers.

And more often than not, the school itself provides a number of computers and printers for the students to use.

Uh, tell your mom that you need to do/print your essay so maybe that F can improve? Or like one of the comments above about going to the library? There's a way to rectify that situation, and if you don't make the effort...well...it's no wonder you have an F in English in the first place.

To everybody saying "OMG how can you fail English, that's the language you speak!" - you are aware that speaking English isn't the only skill you need for English class? It also helps to, say, have good reading comprehension skills, to be able to analyse texts well and to be able to tailor your writing style to suit different forms, audiences and purposes. Just speaking English, even if you can speak it very well, isn't going to get you very far. (Oh, and before anybody accuses me of saying this because I'm 'bitter and failed English' or anything like that, I will point out that I'm an English Language & Linguistics uni student. :P)

Not having good reading comprehension skills, writing skills, or text analyzing skills is a result of not studying hard enough. So it's still the OP's fault. I'm sick of people getting off by saying "I'm just not good at math" or "I'm just not good at reading". BS. Pick up a book and study, and you'll get good at it.

Maybe English is not his first language?

Oh, no, I wasn't saying it wasn't his fault. I was just trying to point out to people going "Pfft, English is the language you speak, how can you fail it?" that the skills you need for doing well in English class aren't the same as the ones you'd need for say, French class, in which you do just need to speak (and read/write) the language.* People do have strengths and weaknesses and I can understand somebody getting lower marks because they struggle with a particular subject, but I do tend to agree that it's still not an excuse for failing something completely. (In most cases, anyway.) *(Please note I'm talking about French classes up to say, GCSE level, I don't know what they're like to a higher level than that.)

Here's a tip I learned: Write your paper, email a copy to yourself. It will always be there to access from any computer (even the library) and print out.
