My life blows
Today, my English teacher handed back my creative story assignment with a 74% on it. Apparently, she docked 10% because I had an unrealistic, overly dramatic plot line. That plot line was based on my life. FML

So you have an unrealistic, overly dramatic life? Explains why you're on FML!

Wouldn't a CREATIVE writing assignment want to be overly dramatic?

74% isn't all that bad. Try to explain to her, if not then speak to someone else in your school who might be able to help you.

Stephanie Meyer had the same problem from publishers. Thing is though, she didn't listen and one publisher was an idiot.

It sucks how some teachers now just try to stifle creativity in the future generation.

I've had several teachers of "creative" classes dock me for being imaginative.

Key words "based on". If you took too many creative liberties or conveniently solved all your dramatic life problems in your story, she probably didn't find it believable.
