Today, my PE teacher yelled at me for not trying hard enough in class. This my second week back after being in the hospital with a collapsed lung. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my PE teacher was yelling at me because I got exhausted too quickly. As we neared the end of the exercise, he declared, "I will let y'all go early if [my name] doesn't give up halfway through this part." With all of the pressure on me, I forced myself to keep going. Then I promptly collapsed. FML
Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML
Today, I went to attend my summer school class again after being out sick for a week. When I said "Here" during roll call, everyone started cheering and clapping. Apparently, my professor has been badmouthing me while I've been absent for pretending to be sick. I'm sure my grade will be fantastic. FML
Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML
Today, I was in school when I got up to ask the teacher a question. For no reason, the guy sitting next to me punched me in the gut so hard I collapsed and saw stars. The teacher simply rolled her eyes and told me to get back to work. FML
Today, my boss called me to say that I've been slow at work this week and that I will be replaced if I don't pick up the pace. That would be understandable, if I didn't have a broken ankle and pneumonia. FML
Today, I got an email from a professor saying he was going to fail me for missing the allotted absences, which is school policy. I pointed out I was in the hospital for two weeks with a life threatening illness and that he even came to visit me. He told me, "Rules are rules." FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, after nearly a week of having laryngitis, I was finally able to talk a little again. Then I yelled at my son for leaving his shit all over the living room, strained my throat, and can barely even whisper now. FML
Today, I woke up my friend and had him take me to the ER. I had trouble breathing and my chest hurt, so the doctor put me on an EKG and took X-rays. I had strained my chest lifting weights at the gym earlier that day and pulled a muscle, and now thanks to my massive anxiety I have a $700 hospital bill. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Suck it up. With your collapsed lung, of course.

I take it you have one of those really obese Phy Ed teachers that take gym way to ******* seriously.

I had a collapsed lung almost a year ago. Tell the couch that you need to take it easy or it might blow again.

It always helps to tell the couch. What a softie.

You would think he already understood, were you not in this class prior too.

Recovery from a collapsed lung generally takes 1 or 2 weeks. A small pneumothorax in a healthy adult may heal in a few days without treatment. More serious cases (a larger collection of air) need careful observation and may need treatment. Sooooo. You should probably try harder.

Well, that the OP is in Gym indicates they are a child, thus a relapse could occur more easily. Plus they were in the hospital from it, which implies it wasn't a 'minor' case of it. There is also the whole "hole in lung" aspect which isn't exactly minor in ANY event, and yet the OP was participating as is. It isn't a matter of the OP not trying hard enough, it is a matter of a teacher who probably took the minimal science and health classes to get their teaching degree trying to shame a student into pushing themself into a possible relapse. Which is a very real risk when anyone who was injured or ill attempts to do too much too soon, and stress is very capable of causing a lung to recollapse. Yelling at a student isn't okay unless they are being completely irrational, if anything the coach should have spoken to him like he would the child's parent(s), which is to say in private and with some degree of privacy, instead of apparently thinking, "Durrhurr, child not listen, yelling fix!" Which is something that gym teachers especially are prone to thinking will somehow magically improve a child's performance, even when said child is already doing what they can. People like this ******** of a coach are why kids wind up hating school almost universally. Maybe instead of automatically assuming children are lazy or "not trying hard enough," teachers should actually do what their job entails, by asking what the issue is and working with the student on finding a solution.

When I had mine it required surgery and took six months to completely recover from.

You should get a doctor's note about not participating in any strenuous activities for the next while. I sure hope that will be enough to keep your PE teacher at bay.

Does your teacher know that? If so, he/she is a huge dick. :/ Hope they cut you a break soon OP!
