Today, I was walking to school and decided to be a good citizen by picking up a beer can on the sidewalk. I then walked on to my school's campus where I then got suspended by my dean for "trying to rebel", grounded by my parents for getting suspended, and an MIP from the school's police guard. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I was given a call home, a 3-day-suspension, and a week of detention in school for a "serious violation of the code of conduct." Said violation? Jogging in the middle of the hall. FML
Today, it's day one of my suspension and probably being fired from my job. Why? I accidentally took a beer out my bag instead of a soda, then got distracted working to make sure everything got done. FML
Today, I got into trouble for moving my chair around in class, which went on my permanent record, while other people were literally throwing things across the room and being loud but they didn't get in trouble. Tomorrow's my birthday and now my parents won't let me go out, even after I told them what happened. FML
Today, I was picking up my little sister from school and while waiting I decided to have a smoke. I was caught and was told to go to the principal's office. I'm 23. FML
Today, I got suspended from school for smoking in the stairs. I'm grounded for a month without my phone, TV or any type of social connection. All of this would seem like a fair enough punishment if I actually smoked, but instead I just smell like my parent's second-hand smoke. FML
Today, I went to visit teachers at the high school I graduated from 3 months ago as valedictorian. Turns out, I had an expired parking permit, and I didn't properly get a visitor pass. The school went into a "yellow lockdown" because of me. My car was towed. I got arrested for trespassing. FML
Today, I was in school when a guy grabbed my breast, so I swore at him and shoved him away. I got detention and he walked away unpunished. 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 was expelled from school. By my own mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What made you think it would be a good idea to walk on campus with an empty beer can?

Zero-tolerance policies suck.

.__. They could've given you a blood alcohol content, couldn't they? Instead of just assuming?

wow, lots of nice comments saying you're a liar, guess nobody has been anywhere idiotic things like this happen, lol that's seriously gotta suck, but if your school really has zero tolerance there's nothing you can do about it, only a stupid rule has NO exceptions, and obviously your case should be one.

There has to be more to this story. Sounds like a load of crap to me. Whatever moderators allowed this on the front page need to stop moderating.

Ok lets say this actually did happen; this story is clearly an exaggeration. Maybe you got suspended but there is absolutely no way you got an MIP.

How is this an exaggeration? There are zero tolerance policies for a lot of schools dealing with drugs and alcohol. Zero tolerance means absolutely NO TOLERANCE. It's OP's fault kind of for walking on to campus with it, but it's more than likely for them to get an MIP

you guys are dumb, i go to a normal public high school and unless you are known for being a "good" kid, this can totally happen to you, i believe you dude and i say you kill the cop, your parents and the principal. but you're still an idiot for throwing it away at school.

Speaking as parent who has collided with my kid's school zero-tolerance policy, this is one hundred percent plausible to me. And it turns out principals don't like it when you tell them all their zero-tolerance policy does is teach students the school administration is either unwilling, unable, or afraid to use judgment. Probably all three.

Yeah, I'm not believing this for one second...

I wish these people who don't believe this is true would learn to read the other comments. We have people with experience who said it HAS and DOES happen. Zero-tolerance policies obviously don't work. Kudos, #22
