Today, my teacher was talking about anorexia and bulimia. Midway through the lesson, she stopped and knowingly asked if I wanted to share my experiences with the class. I don't have an eating disorder, just a screwed-up metabolism. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommate confronted me about my eating disorder. She described in length how emaciated my chest has become and how she wants to help. Except I don't have an eating disorder. My sternum is deformed and I have only recently become confident enough to wear low-cut tops. FML
Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Today, I had a stomach virus, so I didn't eat anything. My new roommate asked me if I was anorexic so to prove I wasn't, I ate a sandwich in front of her. Only to go into the bathroom and throw it up later. She heard and now thinks I'm bulimic. FML
Today, I discovered that my daughter refuses to eat, but not because she's anorexic. Apparently, her health class has learned about the digestive system and now she refuses to "take part in something so gross." FML
Today, I found out that my overweight daughter’s teacher starved her during a pizza party. She made her wait an hour until the entire class got a slice and their seconds. When it was her turn, there was only one tiny slice. According to her, she, “looks like she hasn’t missed a meal, she’ll be alright.” FML
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML
Today, after struggling with anorexia for months, I got food poisoning. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Even though you don't have a disorder, that's horribly wrong of her to call you out on it in front of the whole class.

FYL that your teacher thinks you're this way, but YDI for that metabolism. Trust me, you don't have a clue as to how many people want to be in your place! LOL xD

I think you should speak to the administration. That'd be uncomfortable and embarrassing for anyone and could be very traumatic for someone who actually had an ED. No student should have to deal with that.

My sister and I have had similar problems. People sometimes just up and ask us if we're anorexic, no we just eat well. In sixth grade my sister's teacher had the students list everything they ate for the whole week and to include the ingredients of the meal cause she wanted to see if my sister was starving because my sister only weighed seventy pounds back then but, the teacher didn't take into account that my sister was just small. My sister did the assignment and it turned out that she ate better than the whole class even the teacher.

What does "OP" mean?

You should tell your parents and have a chat with the principal and the teacher about that insensitivity.

Now, that's just plain rude! I would put that teacher on check.
