Today, I got in an argument with my teacher for always comparing me to my sister that she had a few years before. After I said, "I'm not my sister so please stop comparing me to her," she responded, "Of course you're not your sister, I actually like your sister." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while home from college for the weekend, my sister started whining about how I keep using "big fancy college words" and making her feel bad. My sister is 27 and teaches elementary school. The word I used was "ludicrous." FML
Today, my sister was upset because she felt like no one liked her. Without thinking, I replied, "It's okay. If I acted like you, people would probably hate me, too." This sounded sympathetic in my head. FML
Today, my sister teased me about being a mistake baby. When I told my mom what my sister said, her response was "I still love you anyway". FML
Today, I got into a screaming fight with my little sister. Why? Because I'm getting "too chummy" with our new stepmom, who by the way is a very sweet woman, and has made our dad so happy since they met. But my sister has made up her mind that all stepmothers are evil. She's seventeen and still thinks like this. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my big sister, all because she doesn't like me having a girlfriend. She said that I either lose her or my girlfriend, and I chose to lose her. She blocked me. FML
Today, I was complaining to my mom about how my sister looked like a barbie doll next to me. I was saying how she was so tan and her hair looked awesome next to mine. She paused for a while and then said "Well you're pretty on the inside." FML
Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML
Today, my sister and mom were arguing. My sister was being really nasty to my mom, and decided to get nasty with me and drag me into the argument. Naturally, I got nasty back at her and we started fighting. My mom yelled at me for getting nasty with my sister, and kicked me out of the house for “being too nasty.” FML
Today, my sister blamed me for everything again. We're twins and have the same friends, but they all like her better because she's an extrovert and I'm an introvert, and I'm sick of her getting mad at me, copying me, blaming me and making my life miserable for no reason. Why does everyone think I'm so pathetic? FML
Today, my sister-in-law told me calmly that she never cared for me, likes her brother's ex more than me, and probably will always dislike me. It was our first serious conversation ever, that I initiated because I wanted to "maintain our great friendship." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I bet your sister wouldn't have posted an FML about this.

You can say to your teacher "The ones who can't do teach" that means she or he couldn't become or do shit in their life and now they're a teacher. But if I were you I'd drop the class and or report to the principal and get them fired and or suspended. It's possible if you pretend to be very offended hurt etc... Good luck

Fired?? Are you kidding!? #1- what the teacher said was rude, but probably meant with a tinge of humor that OP didn't pick up on..... #2 That is Definitely not grounds to fire. Especially if the teachers tenured.

Oh...and "pretend" you're offended and hurt to get someone fired/suspended!?? Reeeeeally!?? So.... You would actually condone ruining someone's life over pretending...PRETENDING.... to be butthurt!?? *sideways stare*

As long as your last name isn't kardashian, I'm sure the comparisons will stop eventually. Until then, good luck.

Ugh, I totally feel your pain. Getting compared to your older sister sucks. It's why I like meeting people who haven't met her first, so I'm not constantly in her shadow. Sorry your teacher said that though, she sounds mean.

Wow ): I'm so sorry, OP. That was completely unprofessional of your teacher. You are unique, there is only one of you. I hope you report that teacher to the principal. Good luck.

That was really uncalled for. I can't ever imagine my teachers doing that, because they know it's wrong. Maybe you could ask to switch classes? That's if you can...

Annoying, yes. But really..... If this gets you so upset that you need to FML it, the real world is going to be a rude awakening. Learn to let go of the small things. Makes life a lot happier :)

And just let another person completely disrespect you? Yeah, no thanks. Listen I don't like to hold on to things, either. But if you had a teacher who outright called you out on being the worse sibling, you'd be offended, too. And people always ******* say "life isn't easy, the real world isn't easy". No shit, but you forget that you are living life. This is life and just because it's hard doesn't mean a kid can't say anything about it.

Why should anyone compare you to your sister

It's annoying yes, but it happens. I had a teacher that told everyone she failed a student for missing the final. Reason she missed it? Funeral and the father called from the funeral home to complain. Which sucks, but the student was failing anyway. We don't know whether or or not OP is a good student. They might be always late to class for all we know. Teachers don't usually takes sides and most complaints are the student expecting something unreasonable the few that are legit sometimes it's hard to pick out.

Well to be fair, the student knew that the funeral and the final would overlap at least a day or two in advance and could've talked to the teacher (or the principal if the teacher wouldn't budge) about what could be done. If she simply didn't show up, I would've failed her as well. Telling a student you don't like them and constantly comparing them to a sibling is simply unprofessional. I know teachers are human and can't help having favorites, but you're not actually supposed to TELL them.

That didn't go as planned...but I think she was hoping to used that statement and well she just did... I am sure there is a simpler way to get at what I am saying but my mind is a little out of it...
