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

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

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!

What award should you get for a 3.66? That's not good at all. Awards are hardly even given to those with 4.0+, you really shouldn't be expecting anything for 3.66. That's really not a GPA to be awarded for at all.

That's probably unweighted. And for unweighted that's pretty good.

I'm not too familiar with the US high school grading system like this, in Irish secondary schools under 40% (out of 100) is a fail and you're marked up to 100%, which is the best mark you can get (obviously), it is then is graded as A, B1, B2, B3, C1, etc. accordingly per subject (I can't remember how it's done exactly, but I think an A is over 90%, B1 is over 85%, etc.). Anyways, 3.66 GPA in America, from my understanding, is like a B/B+, is it not? That's pretty great, I think!!

Awards in high school are meaningless. I've never hired someone because of a single high school award.

I'm curious what the GPA of your classmates is if they got an award and you didn't.

What are the awards for? Maybe things have changed since I was in school... A 3.6 is great- but that's a solid B/B+ average. You should absolutely be proud in your accomplishment, but I don't understand why you are so upset about not receiving additional recognition. I don't think that would qualify you for Valedictorian. Is it an attendance record you were skimped on?

I had a 3.79 GPA and nothing to show for it. The teacher in charge of the honors society group didn't like me because I had quit the debate team freshmen year after she was rude to me so I didn't get invited to the group. I didn't get any ropes or medals to wear during graduation while people with worse GPAs than me did. Needless to say, highschool sucked.
