Today, I was told that school was cancelled for the rest of the year. School is/was my one place of escape, and the only distraction in my life. It's now not going to be an escape until September. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my brain is all messed up, and my stomach is churning at the thought of going to school, which starts from tomorrow. I was never like this before the lockdown at least. I liked going to school; now I despise it. My social life is now shit, and I have no idea if my mental health is alright. FML
Today, I finally finished my summer assignments for three AP classes. My schedule also arrived. Turns out my school can't place me in any of them, and I just wasted the last four weeks of my summer. FML
Today, I realized I want school to start again so that I won't be sitting alone in my room all day anymore. FML
Today, I was expelled from school. By my own mother. FML
Today, my school's ski trip got canceled, because "All the snow makes the roads unsafe." We can't go skiing because it's snowing. FML
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, my school caught a kid with a firearm, so during our lunch period we had to stay in our classrooms and nobody can leave and nobody can get food. FML
Today, my 20-day summer break started. It was also the day my entire family, including me, tested positive for Covid. I'm typing this in an isolation ward. There goes my summer break. FML
Today, I failed school and ghosted all my teachers. Nobody knows, but I'm planning on telling my parents in a week. I'm fucked. FML
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks that this person has a shitty or downright abusive home life. If they’re a kid living at home, what resources are there for them? This sounds like someone who needs help.

Please reach out if you feel the pressure is getting too much. Not being able to escape can be really hard!

Sounds like it’s a blessing in disguise! You need to find another ‘escape’ or hobby that gives you the same satisfaction!

I read it as an escape from a bad home life, not just as something to do.

I don't like the title to this FML. You might actually think for once it's to get away from a bad situation at home?

Find another escape! There are plenty of free online classes, not to mention alcohol, masturbation and binge eating.

unsure if my last comment went through so if this is a duplicate I apologise. one of the helpful hotlines you may call is: 1 800 4 a child or (1-800) 422 4453. or maybe they can start with talking to a trusted adult

Pretty sure they have an abusive family. Don’t be a dick.
