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?

The same thing happens to my art-friend Jeston. She's a girl, and every time they read her name over the announcements about some art award she won, they always say "He" and refer to her as a male. She's tried to get this corrected numerous times but they always forget to. I've actually kept a tally score board in my binder counting how many times she's been mistaken as a boy this year. Every time I place a new tally in it I show it to her, only to have her chunk sharpened pencils at me. ha ha, good times :D

lmao at #5, but that does suck. But for future references, facial hair is more of a guy thing than a girl thing. Just a piece of advice.

Does your principal hate you? My old principal hated band but loved football; during an assembly he was holding the trophy the band won and said he was proud but wished he was holding a football trophy. Then he dropped it on the ground and it broke in half.

Honestly, there ia nothing wrong with you at all!!!! your life is perfectly fine... Your Principal is the one with the problem. He doesn't know his students. That is why there are so many suicides of teenagers in America... That is uncalled for. my email is my screen name plus @fiu.edu email me your contact information and I will address this directly with your school administration. But don't go living your life and think that because your appearance is fu**ed up in anyway...
