Today, I finally made a Facebook account after being home-schooled my entire life. I friended people that I know and their friends, and subsequently sparked a debate on whether or not I exist. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I purposely went offline on Facebook chat, just so people would think I actually have a life. FML
Today, I reactivated my Facebook account, having not used it for three months. My "friends" didn't realize this. According to their recent status updates, I'm disgustingly fat, have a hook nose, and I'm secretly hated. FML
Today, I decided not to go on Facebook so people would actually think that I have a life. FML
Today, after much reluctance due to fear of causing a huge debate, I finally posted something on Facebook about the presidential debates. However, the post sparked an argument with my mom's childhood best friend, that ended with her telling me that my dad isn't actually my dad. FML
Today, I made a friend on an online chat. We got along fairly well and even traded Facebook accounts. I found out that the two of us had a lot of very surprising things in common. We were the same age, we were from the same school, and we even had the same boyfriend. FML
Today, I logged onto Facebook to see one of my "friends" had used my account to post a coming-out story. It had comments on it such as "I knew it!" "Finally." and "That explains so much." FML
Today, I wrote a Facebook post venting about the horrible things I've been going through lately, hoping my friends would console me. I discovered that my English teacher from 30 years ago, the creepy dude who keeps asking me out, and some random chick I don't even know are my only "friends." FML
Today, I came home from work and turned on the computer. I logged onto Facebook and saw I had a bunch of notifications. Turns out, everyone on Facebook knew I was single before I did. FML
Today, I found an old friend of mine on Facebook. After adding her, I suggested friends for her. She ended up adding every single one I added, but not me. I later saw her ask one of those friends who the hell I was and how I knew all of them. We used to eat lunch together everyday. FML
Today, I found out I have a daughter. How did I find out? She added me on Facebook. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well if you've never met some of the people you friended can you blame them?

You know that you do. As do others you personally know. Forget about that ignorant person's view. Trollin just to get under your skin.

Delete then, if they're your "friends friends" then you probably don't know them anyway, and you're not missing much if they'd rather talk about you than talk to you and get to know you/make friends.

Maybe you could try making some real friends first, because the ones you have now don't sound all that great. I've been home-schooled my entire life, so I know the feels and difficulty in making friends sometimes.

Homeschooling is a terrible thing because it creates socially awkward people (no offense op)
honestjane 22
I'll have you know I'm socially awkward and have never been home schooled! *turns to leave indignantly and walks into door jam*

@48 Well I wouldn't put it that way, but I do agree: It is bad for your social skills and development. And I also doubt if the quality of the 'education' is good enough with homeschooling.

LOL...because schools are constantly churning out those shining products of the superb public education system, yeah. Very much superior quality of education there...

I'm sorry 48, but you are a ******* dumbass. -_- anyone can be socially awkward, even if they go to school or home schooled. Any one can be smart or dumb, even if they go to school or homeschooled .

I'll have you know, I've been homeschooled since third grade and I have a ton of homeschooled, public schooled, and private schooled friends. I also have a boyfriend. and I'm a gamer as well. Homeschoolers can be as normal as regular, everyday people. Just that we get to do school in our pajamas.

Okay, well what if I told you I'm from a country where the education system is actually GOOD? Really, homeschooling would be a bad thing here.

Thank you, #62! I'm homeschooled too, with a boyfriend and plenty of friends. It's not like we're stuck in our house all day away from the world hiding.

Don't friend the people you don't know. As in your friends' friends.

Haha I was homeschooled from Kindergarten all the way through High school. Don't worry. It gets better.

Just make new friends when you go to Junior College or University. Trust me you'll be fine. In the meantime go out more to public events such as games, movies, concerts and ever night clubs. I'm sure you'll be able to meet a few decent people.

I hate when people make those who are home-schooled sound like pathetic loners. Just because you're homeschooled does not mean you have no friends. There's activities and other crap in life. Walk outside of your house every once in awhile and you can make a friend. Also, why would you just randomly friend their friends? That's weird, I mean maybe of you met them a few times it wouldn't be as awkward.

Don't worry. I'm homeschooled too and that's happened a lot of times. All you have to do is meet them. Go out a little more, go see some movies with a group of friends. You'll get more of a social life out of it too!

Well do you?
