Today, in a large church youth group, we were told to write our current biggest trial on a piece of paper, crumple it up, and throw it in pile. I wrote "My mother's death and having to leave my friends and family." The one I picked up just said "math." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML
Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML
Today, I had the worst day of my life. I'd studied science for the whole damn night, only to realize the next morning that it's a math exam. FML
Today, I cheated on my math exam. I still failed. FML
Today, I had to make up a story about my "friends" at school so my mom doesn't keep telling I'm a loser. FML
Today, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML
Today, my friend and I doodled on a sheet of paper trashing our English teacher. Later, I went to English class, and my teacher asked for us to take out a sheet of loose sheet of paper and write an essay. It wasn't until I had written on the whole front and flipped to the back that I realized I was using the doodle sheet. FML
Today, one of my classmates got bullied and the whole class got to wrote 2000 words about that. FML
Today, my distraught mom called me, saying my dad had killed himself and to come home right away. After cussing out my math teacher for trying to stop me and rushing back home in a taxi, I ran into the living room, only to find my parents laughing so hard they were practically in tears. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow man. I'm so sorry for your loss. But do understand, some people don't feel comfortable enough to share their real thoughts and feelings.

OP, maybe the person that wrote "math" wasn't ready to share something that /personal/ with your group. I wouldn't if I wasn't comfortable or ready to deal with things. I'm sorry for your lose but your reply proves that some people are quick to judge others. Not everyone is an open book with random people.

For some people, that could really me their most serious problem at the moment. I've been all over the map with math -- sometimes I pwn'd its ass and aced tests effortlessly, but other times, I was a clueless idiot. I once got a 42 on a test. The night before that test I had a vivid dream of matrices marching at me and vectors flying at me like spears. If I were asked at that moment what my biggest trial was, math would have been a sincere answer.

Hmmm. Religion offers nothing but a comforting illusion. Time to develop a close, personal relationship with reality.

How is that funny? Your spelling problems and run-on sentences are a joke. And your comment is completely unwarranted and makes little sense. I feel bad for you.

I'm sorry about your mom, but let's face it: it's over. Math can torment people for many years. Even if you generally do well at math, one bad teacher can **** you up good!

So you'd rather this person suffer as badly as you are? That doesn't seem very Christian at all. How about trying to be happy for them that they aren't going through trials as bad as yours?
