Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, my mom was named principal of the school I go to. FML
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML
Today, I won an academic award during an assembly. Everyone laughed, followed by booing. FML
Today, was my high school's senior awards ceremony. Over 400 people were crammed in the hot auditorium. I won five awards and each time I was called up the laughter grew louder. Apparently even the back row could see my pit stains. FML
Today, while in class, I was called down to the office. The principal showed me a video of two guys fighting in the school parking lot. I'm accused of being one of those guys. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
Today, I found out that my entire school differentiates me from another girl in my grade with the same name by saying, "No, she's the lesbian one." I'm straight. FML
Today, I discovered the guy that sits next to me in class is actually a girl. Not only is that bad, but we had to write a paper about each other. I used the words "him" and "he", and read it to the whole class. FML
Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks. My sister, Sarah, gets mistaken for a boy quite often. Her haircut is pretty gender neutral, she doesn't wear makeup, and her clothes are generally pretty baggy. Lots of people don't catch on even after being told her name is Sarah. She's definitely not even close to ugly, but the haircut and the clothes make up people's minds pretty quickly. There are, after all, many very "pretty" boys out there.

#25 and #22, you're right. And i wasn't saying men are superior AT ALL; I'm saying they are EQUAL, with different things they are good at. And yes, I scraped for the womens capabilities- cuz im not a woman, how the f*ck should I know that??? hahahah but seriously. I'm saying they are equal... but different. And I know that some men are dumber. We prove this every day, don't we? There are those of us men who are in our forties and still flick the underwear off our foot and try to catch it! =P haha jeff foxworthy. and grapefruitzoe, chill out. First off, I didn't say women are just nice. You guys beat us in emotional CONTROL, and also like that 1 person said, u beat us at languages too. There are less really dumb women. So stop generalizing... especially if you want me to stop generalizing. 2nd, Nothing annoys me more than spoiled little american girls, who all talk about "breaking someones neck" at some time or another, when very few of them have ever even been in a legitimate fight. Stop making threats, especially when you have no idea what a fight is even like. I've been in plenty. Trust me. You wouldn't enjoy it. I win most of mine, but even the ones I win, they really suck, cuz both ppl usually at least gets a little Fd up. So just chilllll

Well that guy is a complete idiot. There's a girl that my whole history class wasn't sure about her gender. For a while we thought it was a guy. Although it's not her fault. Her face shape is very masculine. Her hair style is long, but it doesn't really do much since a lot of guys grow their hair to be very long these days (my brother being one of them). Her name was also a unisex name, so that wasn't helpful. I don't know really how to help you. I guess you could wear make up (although I don't). I have short hair too, but I guess my facial bone structures look feminine... Anyway, try to wear something that'll make it unmistakable that you're female. =] And if he's a student of yours, and doesn't take the time to look at your records to see at least what sex you are (since he doesn't work hands on with the students unless they're causing trouble), then really, it's a good thing you're graduating. What a jerk.
