Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I learned I don't have a yeast infection. I have herpes. FML
Today, at Church, the little boy sitting behind me asked his mother if I had the chicken pox, because there were red dots all over my face. I've had bad acne since I was twelve. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, I finally went to the doctor's office to have a small patch of acne on my stomach looked at. Since it was in an almost perfect circle and abnormally sensitive, I was worried it could be ringworm or some other sort of skin infection. It turned out to be an infection alright. Herpes. FML
Today, I found out I have genital herpes. I'm a virgin. FML
Today, I was threatened with suspension from school because of my nose piercing. I had to explain that it's actually a pimple. FML
Today, I thought my face was breaking out with pimples, and I thought it was weird because I never break out. And I noticed all these "bug bites" all over my body. When I got home, I realized those weren't bug bites. I have chicken pox, and my high school graduation is tomorrow. FML
Today, I finally came home from a semester of college, and all my parents and sister can talk about is how bad my acne has gotten. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry. It'll get better. Also, the herpes you get on your face isn't the same virus as the one you get down there - so no worries!

Children can be cruel... Keep your head up OP! I'm sure everything will clear up with them, and your mouth in no time!

Well, just learned more about herpies than I wanted to know through these comments. Anyways it's a common "rumor" that goes around high schools that face achne is herpies. Just people carrying on a bad joke that is at least a decade old. Lazy high school brats don't have any originality nowadays.

90% of the adult population in the world have some form of herpes. It's completely harmless other than the bumps you'd get. Nothing to worry about even if it were herpes and not just acne

Don't worry rumers will go away and also just FYI, both herpes simplex 1 (most commonly known as cold sores) and simplex 2 (most often found on genitals, more complex and severe) can be transmitted to either mouth or genitals ... They're not exclusive to anywhere ...
