Today, I heard a rumor about myself going around my high school that I am pregnant, I've dropped out of school, and that my belly is showing. I'm not actually pregnant. I've been severely depressed, so I've missed a few days of school and I've been eating too much apparently. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, I made a joke about an older girl looking sexy because she had messy hair and half makeup on and half off. My girlfriend of 3 years found it offensive and broke up with me, then later made up rumors. Now my whole high school thinks I got her pregnant. FML
Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, the local gossip was in line behind me at the shop. She saw me buying pregnancy tests. The good news is that I'm not pregnant. The bad news is that she'll definitely have everyone thinking I am. FML
Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML
Today, I mentioned to my mum that one of my friends is pregnant. She decided I was lying, that I'm the one who's actually pregnant, and that I'm going to get checked out by a doctor. FML
Today, I discovered that my best friend has been telling everyone at our workplace that I'm faking my pregnancy for attention. She was at every single one of my ultrasounds. FML
Today, I had to go through the embarrassment and pain of telling my parents I was pregnant. I took the test and it came out positive and I was freaking out. I got grounded for the rest of the year and they're really disappointed in me. Five minutes ago, I got my period. FML
Today, I started my senior year of high school and I just learned I'm pregnant. I'm not sure how to tell my parents, considering I had a baby freshman, sophomore, and junior year as well. FML
Today, I noticed while sitting on my office chair, my belly is now large enough to touch my thighs. I'm not pregnant, I just ate my feelings for the past few years, and gained about 20kg in total. I've never felt so much self-loathing as I do right now, and I'm too ashamed to ask for help. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Welcome to high school. The place where the ****** become bigger ******, the rumors are crueler, the idiots stay idiotic, and... Everyone gets the picture. I know what it's like OP. My freshman year, not even halfway through, all the people I grew up with were spreading the worst rumors ever. It's true when they say everyone's waiting to say something bad about someone else. Hopefully, you won't have to start over at a new school like I did and you'll be able to properly treat your depression. In a few years, no one will even care. I'm out of high school now and I could care less; whoever started everything is hardly my friend anymore. You're probably a freshman or sophomore. It gets better, trust me. However, if your depression is affecting your attendance, you really should be seeking help. It's only for the best. [/serious comment]

Hmm.. hard decision here: YDI for eating to much and FYL for the depression thing, dude I sometimes get the depression thing, I undestand what you feel :) also FYL for those rumors, remembers me when they went all "0MfG u liek MeTaLlIcA lulz" just because I bought the new Metallica album(Death Magnetic) it was annoying(even more annoying that they didn't knew I listened to Death and Black Metal)

So what? Laugh it off, it's not like you are pregnant and it's not as if you really cared too much about the school in the first place if you were going to drop out for something a lot of people going to school manage to go through anyways. This isn't going to matter to you in five years, maybe not even in a year. There's much more to life than what is happening at the moment.

Seek a therapist. Very helpful- someone to talk to, who can't judge you, and who has to keep everything confidential. Also helps you see things from a healthier perspective. If someone asks if you're pregnant, simply tell them that you were ill for a few days and haven't been able to get any exercise recently. Make it seem boring and they'll eventually get bored. I went through depression too, although not severe, it was chronic- reoccuring- and took a lot out of me. Listening to music often helped. Get better soon, OP.

That shit happened to me when I was in high school, but the rumors spread farther than a pregnancy and wasn't only restricted to my high school, which is why I miss living in a city. You'll get over it, and learn to laugh about it when high school's over, if not, during high school. A lot of the bitches that were talking about me got pregnant, so clearly they got what was coming to them. Maybe the same will happen for you? Either way, don't let it get to you, just keep going on in life.

The exact same thing happened to me except it happened in 8th grade, not high school. Oh yea and my "best friend" was the one who started the rumor.
