Today, I finally stood up to the guy who's been bullying me for the last 2 years. Even though he's been caught in the act several times, he never gets punished, so I figured I'd get away with gut-punching him. Nope. An hour later, I was suspended from school. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after years of torment and relentless harassment, I finally built up the courage to stand up to a bully. I got a detention for swearing at him. FML
Today, I finally stood up to a bully who had been messing with me for over a year. His response? He picked up the chair I was sitting in and threw me across the room. FML
Today, I finally stood up for myself and beat the crap out of a bully at school, as my father told me to do. The kid and I were called to the principal's office, along with our parents. Inside my father's smirk faded when he saw that the kid's mom was his boss. FML
Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML
Today, I fought back with words against a bully. He cried, and I got detention. FML
Today, I finally confronted my bully. Too bad it was at my high school reunion and he beat the shit out of me. FML
Today, I got my ass beat by some kid in my grade. The reason I was targeted? The superintendent, aka my idiot father, suspended him for defending himself in another fight. The kid told me it's not personal, he needed to prove a point that our school doesn't do shit about bullying, As much as I agree with him… FML
Today, I was suspended from school for “being involved in a fight.” The other girl beat me up while I didn't do anything to defend myself, for fear of getting in trouble. She got off scot free. FML
Today, a girl I've never met before came up to me and punched me in the face, because she wanted to get suspended. FML
Today, I stood up to the school bully in a fight. Rather than thank me, the whole school, including some of his victims, now treat me like a psycho. Apparently they tolerated him because of his terrible foster parents, so me hitting him was actually way out of line, and insensitive. How did I become the bad guy here? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You may have gotten suspended, but he now know what you can and will do. Don't see this entirely as a problem, as it may have been your solution.

Similar things happened at my school. The sports players and cheerleaders could just go up to someone and start beating on them (for no reason) and all the teachers, admin, etc. would stand and watch. When they (the "people" people at my school) were finally done, they might be asked (often weren't) why they decided to fight with the "nobody student". They could say that they "just felt like it" and get in no trouble while the "nobody student" and anyone who was seen witnessing it (and those who tried to stick up for the "nobody student" by telling the truth) would be either suspended (for anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks depending on the situation) or expelled because they were the "problem students" (band members included). The "nobody student" would just stand and take the beating but would still be the one in trouble because the school didn't want to punish their "stars" or "good students" who were "worth something" (I think most of the "worth something's" are either on drugs or in jail now). Even in the "nobody student" had to go to the ER. The school would all the parents and tell them that "their kid had been involved in a fight, now had ______ punishment and they needed to come get them" and not mention that they had injuries that needed stitches and had blood running down their faces (more than one girl had her earrings ripped from her ears because the cheerleader either was wearing a similar pair or wanted them (and got to keep them because we don't argue with them because they said that the "nobody" "stole them from her" so the "nobody" lost even if they could prove they bought it with a receipt). Band isn't fun when you have lost over half your band and you are constantly looking over your shoulder because of the "you might be next" thought. Luckily, I am short enough and quiet enough that I was never noticed when the "bad nobody students caused problems" for the "good, star, worth something students". I hated my school and their "sports and cheerleaders are holier than thou" attitude.

You grow up being told that there is justice in the world but there isn't. Not just with school bullies, police and courts of law won't protect and serve you either. It's unfortunate but life is cruel that way.
