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

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

How could the OP have meant to have said "astrologer"? No one's too stupid to do that.

What your counselor said was so wrong. Don't listen to her. when I was in third grade my teacher told me I would never amount to anything more than a maid because I didn't turn in a book report. Instead of being sad about what you're counselor said, take her bitchiness as incentive to prove her and go back and rub it on her face. I'm in med-school now and I always want to go back to my third grade teacher and prove to her that I'm successful because that really would teach her a lesson. I hope you become successful, get famous, and one day that guidance counselor will see you on t.v and feel like a dumbass. You can be whatever you want to be as long as you work hard, believe in yourself!

I think your counselor's point has just been proven in this FML.

ummm... astrology certainly deals with the planets and their positions and such. so... this makes sense. if fortune telling and stars and such are your thing. so, perhaps neither astronaut nor astromomer. in conclusion, quit being so absurdly pretentious.

i wouldn't have put it as harshly as the counselor, but he or she has a point. the kid obviously isn't that bright. it's not the job of the counselor to be some kind of personal cheerleader for every single student regardless of his or her abilities. if the counselor is giving the kid a realistic outlook for his future, and deflating his unrealistic dream in the process, then it can only be good for him. children now get it drilled into them that they can be and achieve whatever they want when it's simply not true. it just sets them up for inevitable disappointment and a diminished sense of self-worth. what's worse, knowing your place in the world and being happy, or striving for something that's never going to happen and being miserable?

The counselor was at work and should have been more professional. The counselor did not do their job. Give the sender a break.

my vote will be FYL when you submit here (fml.com) that you dont even know what you want to be and you did not realize that you are actually stu..(no, no, i should not call you that) not so "bright".
