Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was taking an important exam for Calculus. Out of nowhere, the kid behind me starts violently kicking my desk. I quickly turn around and yell at him. He was having a seizure. FML
Today, I found out my son has been lying about being sick. He kept complaining so I took him to the doctor and got him some medicine. Now he’s actually sick because he took meds he didn’t even need. He did it solely so he could get an expensive get well soon gift. FML
Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML
Today, I had RA training and we were doing mock situations. During one of these, I had a seizure. Everyone thought it was fake, until I started violently throwing up. FML
Today, I accused my son of faking being sick. He then blew chunks all over me. FML
Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML
Today, I had the class clown of my preschoolers oversleep our daily 15-minute nap. Not wanting to spare any more class time on his disrupting jokes, I let the headache sleep. After another 10 minutes we called an ambulance. He had a stroke. FML
Today, I took my kids to the beach. My autistic son decided it was a good idea to pretend he was drowning. I tried to tell onlookers he was fine and not to worry. My son popped out of the water and laughed hysterically at them. FML
Today, I faked being sick so I could weasel out of a chemistry test at school. Happy that I pulled it off, I posted my accomplishment on Facebook. I forgot that I'm friends with my parents. FML
Today, I told my dad I wasn’t feeling well, to which his response was to interrupt me and say, “Nope. Not buying it.” I have never faked an illness in my life, and this time I vomited in front of my entire class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take that money spent out of any gifts/allowances he was going to get in any future holiday or birthday. Maybe that will teach him not to do something so serious.

I'm not even going to lie, that's pretty impressive.

(Sigh) Kids will be kids. But yours... Have you tried an exorcism.

#24 I think a spanking is better for this situation.

I think 13 is a bit old for a spanking...

#70 I'm 16 and I still know that if I pulled a stunt like this kid did my momma would whoop my ass in a heartbeat

83- Hell, I'm a grown woman living on my own and my mom would still beat my ass if I acted like this. Although she rarely had to during my childhood. If I was acting like a little shit, giving me a look and saying "I brought you into this world and I will take you right back out of it" was enough to stop me from misbehaving

Maybe you should put him in some acting classes to further his career as an actor

The awkward moment when he wins an Oscar, but Leo doesn't.

OP explain to your son that while he was treated he has taken resources from someone who does need treatment

Haha! I tried faking a seizure in high school to get out of Brit Lit. Didn't work. Pro tip- pee your pants.

Yes, because that's less embarrassing...

#28 you'd pee your pants get out of a presentation? Seems a little desperate

I'm a board-certified neurology tech with 34 years professional experience. Tell your little darling if he has another "seizure" he won't get a drivers license until he turns 21. (It's a lie -- but he won't know that!)

I'm in California & depending on the type of seizures, you may be permanently banned from getting a license until you can prove you're no longer at risk of getting one.

I had to prove i was able to drive years after passing out. So, it can be true yes. Also, i would never advocate lying like that. A lie for a lie?

As an epileptic who had to prove this very thing with multiple EEGs. I can attest that this is true.
