Today, I went to my guidance counselor and told her how I'd been fascinated with space since I was 12, had read about the universe and everything, and how I want to be an astrologist when I grow up. She stared at me for a second, before saying, "But you're... stupid." FML

Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML

Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML

Today, for the nth time, my father reminded me that I should study things related to the "real" world, as if I was studying theology, astrology or something. I'm studying for a master's degree in physics. FML

Today, my 9-year-old daughter was acting out and wouldn't do her homework. I told her that if she didn't study, she wouldn't get her acceptance letter from Hogwarts. She looked into my eyes, straight through to my soul and said, "Hogwarts isn't real, retard." FML

Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML

Today, in astronomy class, a kid used Uranus in a hilarious innuendo. I was the only one who laughed. I also happen to be the teacher. FML

Today, I was participating in an activity to join a program which I really wanted to join. One of the teachers in charge seemed to notice my efforts and asked if I wanted to join the program. I said yes, thinking I had a chance. She laughed, shook her head before saying no and walking away. FML

Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

Your counselor probably had a point. If you were interested in space you would want to be an astronomer, not an astrologist.

I personally don't think your counselor even said that. But way to exaggerate it.

I find this hard to believe. Really hard to believe, a guidance counselor can't say things like that.

You can sue for that, I know because my mom is teacher. I was told by my 8th grade guidance counselor that the only reason why I was going to the next grade was so that they didn't have to get me a parking spot.

You can't be serious. How did this counselor get hired? I would have reported the jerk.

+1 to #2, but don't worry, the guidance counselor was probably dumb as well if they didn't realize that astrologists weren't astronomers. As far as I can tell astrology doesn't preclude stupid people seems more like a prereq.

Who cares what the kid wanted to be. The Councelor should have given him the tools to do so. They are there to enlighten youth and support them. not to bash them down. Let the kid know there will be hard work involved and a level of intelligence that is expected. Never tell children they can't do something...
