Today, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML
Today, in Chem, I was chosen to hold the fire extinguisher just in case something happened while showing how to blow up a dangerous chemical. My teacher told me to spray if anything got out of control. He lit the fire and I freaked out and sprayed it. The entire wing of my school was evacuted. FML
Today, as a means of getting over my abusive ex, I decided to write his name on a piece of paper and light it on fire. As I lit the paper up, I noticed the marker ink had bled through it. The paper is gone, but his name is forever engraved on my desk. FML
Today, I was passing notes in class with my crush. I started to pour my heart out and tell him about how I've liked him for years. I was caught by the teacher. He looked at it, laughed, and tore it up. He then looked at me and said, "I just saved you from years of embarrassment. You're welcome." FML
Today, my friend and I doodled on a sheet of paper trashing our English teacher. Later, I went to English class, and my teacher asked for us to take out a sheet of loose sheet of paper and write an essay. It wasn't until I had written on the whole front and flipped to the back that I realized I was using the doodle sheet. FML
Today, my halitosis was so bad that when I blew onto my solution in chemistry class, it reacted. FML
Today, while giving a lecture about gasses to a large chemistry class, I went outside to let loose an unusually loud fart while they took some notes. I came back in only to see 300 students dying of laughter. I had left the wireless mic on. FML
Today, during science, my friend thought it would be funny to pour corrosive acids into the reaction test I was making. I had to explain to my parents why I have no eyebrows, but the worst part is that I only got a D. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML
Today, while correcting essays, I spilled ketchup on a student's paper. I managed to successfully turn it into a happy smiley face but when proudly looking at the result, noticed it was right next to the big "F" that I had graded it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I am a teacher. Even if a student is not paying attention in class, I would never take their piece of paper away and set it on fire. Tell them to put it away, yes. Confiscate it for the rest of the period, yes. But destroying something of a student's is completely disrespectful. Some might argue that it's disrespectful to do other work during class, and I'd agree. However, the teacher shouldn't have taken that harsh of a measure to discipline him. Being a teacher doesn't give you license to be a bitch.

What are you, in high school? Believe me, those lyrics can't have been that good anyways. In 2 years you'll remember them and laugh.

I had a similar thing happen to me once. I was drawing in class. It must have been one of my best, and my teacher came up and snatched it, crumpled it up, and used it to "demonstrate how mass affects the object's speed when it's pulled by gravity" as it flew into the trashbin. Fortunately for me, I was able to dig the drawing out of the trashcan...

For all the closed-minded people screaming YDI and trying to make themselves sound superior, it's not as though you've never spaced out in class. Your grammar makes it clear that you've at least fallen asleep in English. At least the OP was doing something productive with his time. For all the wannabe realists trying to convince the OP that his music is worthless and a waste of time: If everyone had that mindset we wouldn't have any good art right now. Creativity that can be scheduled is hardly ever creativity at all.

Because every teenager in high school is at the same writing level, right? I'm willing to bet that, in a creative sense, some people in high school write better things than older people. Just because you or the people you know weren't amazing writers in high school doesn't mean that the OP didn't have something good on his hands. Maybe it wasn't "a crushing loss," but it's understandable that the OP is upset. When you put time into something (even if it's time that should be used to pay attention in class) and someone carelessly destroys it without a second thought, you have a reason to be pissed. If someone came up and burned a paper you'd put time into writing, I'm sure you'd be angry. It's important to you, but certainly not a crushing loss for the world, right?

I was shaming you in my post? Is that what happened? Odd, I wasn't trying to do that at all. I was trying to point out that there's certainly a reason to be upset. You said yourself that you'd be upset if a similar situation happened to you, so I'm not sure what makes you so different from the OP. He posted it on FML, which I thought was a site for people to post the ****** up and possibly funny things that happen to them. I suppose everyone has different standards for what a "true FML" should be, but in my opinion, this was worth posting. It sucked that it happened and once OP rewrites his lyrics, he'll probably be able to laugh about it. Go up to an adult who happens to be writing something. Burn what's being written. I can almost promise you that this will "set off" the adult. Please stop trying to prove how only teenagers are dramatic (though I don't think the OP is being particularly over dramatic in this case). And whether or not the lyrics were good isn't entirely relevant, actually. They were something into which the OP put time and effort. Good or not, the teacher had no right to burn it. It was an immature thing to do. A simple, "Please put that away and pay attention" would have been good. Perhaps you think I'm overreacting, but destroying something--especially if it's special to someone--is uncalled for.

If they were, they would get after you for not using "you're" correctly.

I know a lot of my students are on this site. That's how I heard about it.

They must not have been that good of lyrics if you simply let some asshole with a teaching degree burn them. Y.D.I!

I agree with #48. All of you who say YDI must not be music-ish people.
