Today, I heard a teenage boy ask his friend, "So, is it, like, November in Australia too?" This is the future of America. FML

Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me when I was going to shave my arms now that summer is coming in Australia. FML
Today, the boy I have crush on at school announced that his family were moving to Australia. My friend thought that it would be funny to spread a rumour that I was moving too, in order to follow him. Everyone has heard it, and unfortunately everyone believes it, including him. FML
Today, I live abroad, but I was born in the USA so I'm sick of people asking me who I voted for in the last election, all while looking at me weirdly and suspiciously. FML
Today, a police officer came to talk to the kids at my workplace. He asked what they wanted to hear about first. A group of them shouted, "The donuts, tells us about the donuts." Apparently these idiots are the future of my country. FML
Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML
Today, my son asked me if slavery was ever abolished. He's 19. FML
Today, I heard my ten-year-old brother say, "Are hamburgers a reptile?" FML
Today, I discovered that apparently my six-year-old daughter actually believes that the United States is the only country with advanced technology. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To answer the teenagers question: No, we have a special month called Kangaroocember, where we all celebrate Australia by finding kangaroos and riding in their pouches. ...OF COURSE it's November in Australia. Just like the rest of the world. >.<

... I can only hope that the boy was trying to refer to the weather difference, and not the actual month, because otherwise this is just another crushing blow to my faith in humanity.

Maybe he asked this on Halloween and was asking his friend about the time zone difference. Also, since the Gregorian calendar was developed in the Northern Hemisphere and the seasons are opposite in the Southern, it seems logical that the calendar there should be shifted by six months, so January is a cold month and July is a hot one. Of course, they could be idiots. In which case, we still need bodies to flip our burgers.

All these negative views off of one unprivileged teen they may not have gotten the best education available doesn't mean that all others are the same. Look at some adults these days that are homeless and can't find jobs. It goes both ways people. Some adults are not stand up citizens either.

Who says the teen was unprivileged? Unfortunately, American education is hit or miss. Some areas have really good schools and some areas schools suck, no matter how much money the community has. I grew up in a poor area of New York that still have a better educational system (at least in high school) than some of the suburbs I live near today.

Also the kid could be referencing the weather difference in Australia just in a really stupid way.
