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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

I just have to say, OP, you being homeschooled has nothing to do with it, sure maybe you're less 'known' but I'm homeschooled too and I have enough common sense to not add people I don't know.

Here's what yu do. Ask them to tell yu to take a picture somewhere. Then yu go to that place, && take a video. Talking about how real yu are. Make sure to mention your fb name && all so someone can't steal your video for themselves

My mom yanked me out of school in 8th grade. In hindsight it was good but I was truly heartbroken that I never heard from all but two of my friends. Someone started a rumor that I died. Over a year later I saw someone in the mall and they looked like they saw a ghost. To them they did...

You don't friend people that you don't know. I'm not surprised they thought you were fake since they don't know you

Who in their right mind friends the friends of people they know? That's very weird. just because you know someone doesn't mean you go at their friends you don't even know.
