Today, I got nominated to sit in a chair in the middle of the gym during a high school rally while the entire school got to throw paper balls at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, we had a sprint race in gym class that I wasn't looking forward to because I'm a little chubby. The race started and I shot off as fast as I could, somehow in the lead. Everyone was cheering. When I was nearing the finish line I turned around, only to see the race hadn't started yet. FML
Today, I was in the toilet. Some idiots thought it was funny to throw a water balloon into the cubicle. The balloon didn't pop, but fell in the toilet, sending my own urine onto my shorts. I had 4 hours left of school. FML
Today, as I was walking back to my dorm, I looked down and thought, "I wonder why the ground is wet in just this one spot?" Then I got hit with a water balloon. FML
Today, my social studies teacher thought it would be a great idea to have a casual debate about Margaret Thatcher and her legacy. Within 10 minutes, the entire class was yelling, screaming, throwing stuff at each other. I got hit in the face with a binder. FML
Today, I was jumped and savagely beaten to the ground by a group of six-year-olds wearing Disney princess masks. FML
Today, I faked a sore throat for the school nurse so I could go home early. It took my dad the rest of the school day just to get there to pick me up. FML
Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML
Today, I was practicing my lines for theater class in the hall. My partner and I chose a script where we argue over me stealing her boyfriend. Since it started to sound like a real argument, another student said that I was a "crazy bitch" and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Today, I was at a water park with my family. They wanted me to stand underneath this big bucket filled with water. I didn't know it tips over, and my swimsuit isn't the tightest, so when all the water fell down, my swimsuit bottoms fell to my knees in front of tons of kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm curious as to why they do this and if it occurs every year.

So your school is actively advocating singling someone out and bullying them? Wooooooow...change schools.

They can't make you do anything, could've opted out of it

You should have started to pick up and eat the paper balls.

I guess the people who run the school forgot why we have schools. You're there to ******* learn things! And one of those things is how to be a good person. A good person does not throw paper balls at someone. Unless its like a game between friends or something. I remember going to rallies... sometimes they were fun but other times it was plain stupid. I get up early each morning and spend seven hours of my life each day to go to school, hoping to learn stuff, increase my knowledge, and expand my horizons, but instead they make me sit in a gym packed with students while they damage my hearing with extremely loud music and have people sumo wrestle, throw pies at each others faces, and spin around a baseball bat to get dizzy. It was all so ridiculous. Then they'd throw stuff out at the audience, which was entertaining, but people would get into fights over dumb tshirts and even once, a ball of string. While I was amused at it all, I felt like I was surrounded by crazed baboons. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying schools shouldn't be fun. Of course they should be fun! I had one class where I learned a lot, then when we finished our lessons early, we'd have class parties and watch The Office. Sometimes the lessons were boring and I felt like I was in a college lecture instead of junior high, but other times we had fun with our learning, going outside, doing applied math and science problems in the real world, going on field trips, etc. School can be a great thing. But what goes down in front of everyone at the center of a rally should probably stop. Its just plain weird, and not the good kind of weird.

At least they were doing fun stuff at your school. The pep rallies at my old high school consisted of watching cheerleaders twerk to deafening rap music for about 10 minutes. No, for a heterosexual female, it was not fun to watch.

What kind high school is that?!

Without context this FML is either sad of Carrie proportions or an example of the most lighthearted school ever. Though, being singled out in front of a whole school doesn't ever really sound that good.
