Today, I was in the newspaper for my soccer accomplishments. It was supposed to be my day in the spotlight. I went home to find out that my little sister had sprained her ankle in P.E. Not only did nobody in my family read the article in the paper, I'm now doing all of my sister's chores. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister asked me to grab her some toilet paper. I refused, so she grabbed my favorite shirt out of the laundry basket and used it to wipe. I was busy icing my sprained ankle. I couldn't walk. She knew this. FML
Today, while looking through the newspaper, I saw that my sister got married a couple weeks ago. Not only did she not invite me, she "forgot" to mention it yesterday while we were having lunch. FML
Today, my little sister took a dump in our bath tub right before we were leaving for soccer practice. When my mom found it, she blamed it on me, then made me pick it up with my bare hands. FML
Today, my brother's high school was having a soccer game against mine, and as a sign of good luck, I told him to "break a leg". He broke mine. FML
Today, after twisting my knee playing soccer with my friends, I had to take myself to the hospital. Apparently finishing the game was more important to them. FML
Today, I came home to find my little sister had decided to play hopscotch under our carport. Feeling a small childish urge, I decided to hop on one leg to the front door. I tripped and fell, slicing my knee open. FML
Today, my sister threw my water bottle as a joke. When I stepped off the bleachers, my right foot lost its footing and my other foot followed. Now I have two sprained ankles at the same time. FML
Today, I fractured my tibia, fibula, and tore a tendon in my ankle. How? You might ask. By stepping in a hole at soccer practice. Now I’ll be out for the entire season with months of rehab. FML
Today, I had a basketball game against our rivals. Since the starting guard had a broken ankle, I felt happy that I could finally get playing time and prove that I'm good. Instead I had to run the scoreboard for the game, because the scoreboard guy was absent. FML
Today, I sprained my ankle while playing soccer. I still have to walk home. In the rain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Chin up lad. Best to keep a stiff upper lip during such trying times. Football’s a good sport to be in, but if you’re planning to go pro, a sprained ankle and lack of home recognition wouldn’t be your worst issue to deal with. At least your local paper recognises it. That’s more than what others can say.

That sucks but thin of it this way: Those accomplishments are yours and you can (probably) be proud of yourself. You don't need other people's confirmation to be proud of yourself. And maybe they'll still read it later. Show it to them once the current situation calmed down.

Surely, your sister was playing a real sport that people care about in PE. No wonder she got all of the attention! Maybe the newspaper will cover your outstanding accomplishments in chores. It’d make a heartstrings-tugging story that you scrubbed toilets brilliantly in your injured sister’s stead!

Miss Drama Queen... I understand you were in the paper but your sibling is injured. Help her out and worry about your fifteen minutes of fame later.
