Today, I finally told my father that I was picked on at college all this year over my hearing disability. When I told him one of the jokes they made about me, he burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came out to my parents. They laughed in my face. FML
Today, my dad had fun embarrassing me as much as possible in my parent-teacher conference by moaning whenever the teacher talked. FML
Today, I decided to open up to my friends about losing my dad last year. To my horror, all they could do was laugh at and mock me, all because I said that he "unalived" himself. FML
Today, my dad was teasing me, saying a guy would have to be blind to go on a date with me. I then introduced him to my new, visually impaired boyfriend. He hasn't stopped laughing. 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 told my dad I was going to the gym. He stood up and clapped. FML
Today, my therapist started laughing at me whilst I was telling my story. He said, "Sorry, I can't help it" and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was at work, reading some funny stories on my phone. Just as one of my co-workers decided to share that his father had passed away recently, I burst into uncontrollable, teary-eyed laughter at a story. They don't believe my explanation, and have branded me the office asshole. FML
Today, my dad was driving me to college. I'd cracked a joke about how old people like him shouldn't be allowed to drive, and I guess he took it personally, what with him speeding straight up to the parking lot wall, and only braking after I started shrieking in terror. FML
Today, I arrived home after leaving for college in August. My dad figured that the most appropriate way to welcome me back was a loud, piercing fart right when I walked through the front door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sometimes you just got to laugh it off. Don't let all the bulling define who you are. If you show it doesn't hurt you, they will stop.

As a deaf person, I totally understand how you feel. It does suck. I find that finding a funny meaning to the joke usually works for me and laughing at the jokes tells them I don't give a f**k what they say. Could work for you too.

Omg I wish I knew who you are!!! I am hearing impaired too and I don't know anyone hearing impaired like me.. I have been made fun of as well..but you know what I do? I take it as an excuse to succeed and show them that I am just as good as them if not, better!!:) that is why I am in band and take a foreign language. this was my first semester in college and it was rough. I was made fun of for having an fm transmitter to help me hear my teachers. It's ok, just keep your head up!!!!!!!!!:)

Obviously, your dad is just as much a prick as those losers at your college are...don't let it get to you. Good Luck in your studies!

That's the problem with (most) American's and American schools, no-one ever learns a little thing called, 'tolerance'

In the end OP, you're stronger than they are. If they're really bullying you, they never really were strong-minded in the first place. Not that many people can say they're hearing impaired. It's hard, and people can judge so easily. Chin up, OP. You've made it this far. :)

Which college are you at that accepts 5th graders as students? Some people never grow up...
