Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML

Today, my mom went snooping through my art bin to "clean out my old drawings". She found numerous nude pieces and accused me of selling porn. My mom mistook and threw out 57 anatomy practice sketches that I worked very very hard on, and ripped up the remainder of my drawings. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, my parents are upset that I never ask them for help with my homework and struggle with it myself. They won't accept the answer that whenever I do, they're always yelling at me and putting me down. Dad in particular can't get through one assignment without becoming a screaming tyrant about my handwriting. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I was doing homework in the living room when my mom came in and started blasting music and cleaning. When I asked if she could turn it off so I could study, she bitched at me about "My house, my rules." She also has a rule that we can’t do homework in our rooms because of too many distractions. FML
Today, I had to do a still life of a pillowcase for my drawing class. To make up for bad grades I've gotten before, I followed my professor's directions to a T. He took 19 points off because I drew the background when no one else did. We have to do it for every piece. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, I was crying after having argued with my boyfriend. My mom saw me, she asked, "Why are you crying? Don't you have homework to do?" FML

My mom used my computer without my permission and lost a five page essay I had ready for class that was due the next day. I had already returned the book it was on to the library.

Ergh, that sucks... Now I guess she'll feel bad for ruining your masterwork for no good reason.

Tape it together I know it sucks that your mom did that if someone did that to me I'd be pissed off to it would be like my baby. But at least your teacher will see how much time you put in to it and tell your teacher someone ripped your homework. Then you can keep it. Later if you're good at painting you can paint over it and the paint will cover the tape.

Tape it back together and tell your teacher it's modern art.

You can tape it back together and tell teacher it represents the fragility of art and fractured society. Boom, extra credit!

Aww man... I'm really sorry that happened to you. I know it's probably unneeded advice... but here's what I would do to prevent further issues: 1. Get a folder and label it homework in big obnoxious letters that can't be missed. 2. Put any completed or in progress works in there. 3. Keep the homework assignment sheets/notes in the folder, in front of any homework or attached to the pieces of homework. (You can check off things as you complete them to help keep you on track) For the damaged piece: Either tape and trace it, or tape it and go to your teacher on Monday morning (even if that's not the day you have that class) and explain what happened. Most teachers will be understanding and willing to work with you when it's something beyond your control.
