Today, out of my whole class, I received no awards. All my teachers thought that I would get plenty from the others. Now people think I'm stupid. I have a 3.66 GPA and they won't believe me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML
Today, after finally applying myself and busting my butt all semester, I found out the school is accusing me of cheating because they couldn't believe I could have gotten near-perfect grades considering my grade history. If this is how society rewards academic turnarounds, why do I even bother? FML
Today, I found out that, despite my above average performance in school, I was right in the middle of my class ranking at graduation. My school stated that your respect for others would affect your ranking, but the fact that nearly all of the people who placed above me were gigantic pricks says otherwise. FML
Today, I was told that when I was in middle school and thought I was considered class clown for either making jokes or acting stupid, people thought I actually was stupid and/or mentally challenged. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I got my grades back. They were all 98's and 99's with also a 104 (extra-credit). I got refused from entering an honors club, because it's "impossible to get above a hundred in a math class". I even got investigated for cheating. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, I received the honorary title of "Student of the Month," because I'm the only quiet kid during class. Truth is, I just have no friends. I was given an award for being socially awkward. 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, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your teachers should have coordinated that better tbh

don't let others get to you. you know you have good grades and do well, that's all that should matter. If you do start to get annoyed, show them your report card, then that should clear everything up!

it doesn't really matter, awards are superficial. You'll reap the benefits of your hard work in the long run, and that is a lot more satisfying. + nobody thinks you're stupid just because you didn't get an award :)

I had a 3.76 gpa and didn't get any awards... You shouldn't work hard for trophies...but for yourself

I feel you people think I'm stupid but I have a 4.0.

What exactly are all of you getting awarded for? Are these the type of awards people get just for showing up? Not to put you down or anything but a 3.66 GPA seems pretty average to me so I really don't know why your teachers are giving out awards.

what kind of shit school do you go to? I know kids who have 4.1 and get nothing

The same kind I went to I assume. Where the highest GPA a person can earn is a 4.0.

And I was pissed that my gpa was only a 4.0 which didn't allow me into BETA club, welcome to private school...oh how I miss public school systems where a 3.66 gpa is amazing.

I'm in a public school system and a 3.66 isn't real great. But I am in all AP classes and an extra science class for fun and have maintained a 4.25 so i probably am not a good example

Lol in my public high school you had to have a 3.8 unweighted to be considered smart

At my school we actually have 2 GPAs, one weighted and one not weighted. It's kind of weird for kids not in AP, but nothing my school does makes sense.

Don't worry, OP. They'll soon believe you when they're stuck working a dead end job in mcdonalds and you're rising your way through well paying jobs :)

I received one award in high school merely for being in the top ten of my class. I was third overall with a 3.99 GPA. I took all of the hardest classes and didn't just take "easy A's" like my two 4.0 peers. One of them is now an unemployed drunk - the other is a local tour guide eking through life. I'm not here to brag that I've done the best out of the top three but to reveal the real winner. He was man from a broken home and raised by his absent father in poverty. He had a 'C' average back then and was nearly held back his senior year. I will admit he had luck on his side but that wouldn't be enough without his shear determination to get himself out of his rut. Now he knows everybody and does whatever he wants whenever he wants. I'm sorry you didn't get an award, but you do not need one. Take what is yours - don't wait for someone else to give it to you.
