Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML

Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML
Today, I got yelled at by parents of one of my students because their child didn't perform well at their Winter Concert. These are the same parents who told me months ago that I needed to be more lenient by allowing their kids to skip rehearsals. FML
Today, I played in a high school concert. Some alumni of the band were sitting in the audience and were brought to tears. Not because it was beautiful, but because they were sad to see how much the music program had declined since they left. FML
Today, I had my high school piano recital. The entire time I was playing, one of my classmates sitting up front kept booing me and yelling "YOU SUCK" at the top of his lungs. He drowned out the entire song. FML
Today, at a talent show, my band got booed before we even started playing. FML
Today, I was at my class's band concert. Before the curtain was raised, I helped haul the piano to a different spot so a girl who would've had to stand behind it could be seen. I said, "There, now your mom can see you play!" She responded with, "My mom's blind." FML
Today, I went to my son's final band performance. I also have a busy toddler, so I ended up watching most of the performance in the hallway on a tv monitor. In the middle of the awards ceremony, my toddler pulled the fire alarm. Everyone had to evacuate the building. FML
Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML
Today, my band got booed off stage. FML
Today, it was the début of the high school musical I was in. When two others and I sang the word "Hell", my mother yelled at us for using that language, while the musical was still going, and dragged me off stage. FML

Sounds like "advanced" means "they're ******* 12 year olds".

In my town, 12 is more than old enough to be at least decent if you're in the "advanced" group

The Chain smokers are one of the hottest music acts around. They managed to get a hits and stick around even in this day and age of fast rise and fall. Yet them bombed hard during the MTV awards live performances. Those guys are multimillionaire professionals! Destroying the confidence of twelve year old over a bad performance, when even professional screw up, is not FML but YD to be tarred and feathered!

Why would you do that to your kid?

Lol sounds like something I'd do but thankfully I had enough sense to not have kids. Congrats you have a sick dark sense of humor. Bad thing is you used it at the wrong time. I hope you took your kid out for ice cream or something to make it up to them.

You are supposed to encourage your children but when they are bad at something you need to find a gentle way to tell them and get hem presume something they will succeed in. I love to draw but I sucked, my mother nipped it on the bud early. I'm grateful now, as I was able to peruse and master something I was good at.

See this is the problem. We all suck in the beginning. Some more so then others. If you enjoy something, keep at it until you don't want to do it any more. How do you know you wouldn't be good if you kept at it? The famous aren't always the best. They are just the ones who refused to listen to parents who "nipped it in the bud" and of course, continued to work to improve or find a niche they were good in.

I sucked at drawing too, but now I tattoo for a living. Practice and encouragement are vital in a child's upbringing!
