Today, I was telling 3 classmates on Whatsapp about my depression. One of them told me to "nut up n grow a pear." Two hours after we mocked him for being an illiterate jackass, one of us has had our car tires knifed and another's house has been egged. I'm terrified of what will happen to me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to my friend's house to celebrate her birthday but 3 of them ganged up on me and molested my arse cheeks. Later, someone found a wooden plank and spanked me hard. There was also a BB gun and my arse was the target. I have been a social outcast all my life, and these are my only friends, but I'm always hit. FML
Today, my family finally noticed my depression because of how quiet, down and uninterested I’ve been. They responded by harassing me for saying nothing, calling me names, and making fun of me. Hmm, I wonder why I’m depressed. FML
Today, I have to deal with being laughed at by my mother and sister, because they keep making sharp movements towards me, causing me to flinch. This is because I got mugged and beaten last night. They think it's hysterical. FML
Today, my house was pelted with rotten eggs. Apparently, my daughter and her friends are bullying a boy in her class. So, his older brother set out for revenge. According to the threatening note he left, "This is just the start if they don't leave him alone." My daughter thinks this means she should bully harder. FML
Today, a guy made fun of sexual assault victims, and laughed when he heard they’re getting money and support. He also said I look like his next victim. I hit him, unapologetically. My friends told me to apologise, and that he’s really a great guy. No longer my friends. Talk shit, get hit. FML
Today, one of my classmates got bullied and the whole class got to wrote 2000 words about that. FML
Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML
Today, my girlfriend totally emasculated me and made me a laughing stock when we got mugged and, instead of just handing over her purse like the guy said, she took out a stun gun and used it on him while I freaked out and cried. Now all my friends are laughing at me. FML
Today, I was sitting with a group of people at lunch. I was having a bad day, so I began venting to them. Eventually, they got tired of it and banned me from the table, because my "depressing mindset" reminds them of their trauma. FML
Today, it's been two weeks since I honked, screamed, and cussed at a cyclist on the road. Since then, my car has been keyed, my tires have been slashed, bricks have been thrown at my windows, and my number has been put on Craigslist as a gay prostitute. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Depression's a serious issue, man, but if you really feel like it, file a police report using your two witnesses of classmates. Hope you get the help you need.

Pears are yummy, maybe he was offended you didn't want to grow some for him.

Karma's a bitch
Enkeria 30
How is karma a bitch? All OP wanted was a shoulder to lean on. Depression sucks. I've been battling it since I can remember and let me tell you that it is not easy. Yes, it has been getting better and easier, however, depression can hit like a bomb. One minute we're fine and happy-go-lucky and the next minute we're crying for no reason.

The depression part of this fml isn't really relevant to the story though, is it? It's more like "me and my friends bullied someone and now he's seeking revenge " , hence the karma thing
tarlax 11
^ You're joking, right? The guy who mocked someone that has depression is the victim, and them fighting back against the real bully makes them bullies? Wow. Please don't reproduce.
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
The depression bit is what turns this story from a YDI to a FML so it's completely relevant. Without it the OP is a dick who turned on his classmate for no good reason. With it, it's obvious that the classmate is shitty at being a friend and and even worse at spelling.

So 2 wrongs make a right? That will be a good thing to teach my kid, thank you for that lesson.
tarlax 11
Also 30, if you're gonna play the spooky karma angle, maybe that's just the bully's bad karma catching up to him. 41, the hippie thing was cute.... in the '60s.
MandieL 27
The hippie thing?

the depression is totally relevant. you don't tell someone who has depression "to nut up and grow a pair". That's more harmful than helpful, people with depression have a hard time picking themselves back up, that's why it's good to confide in friends to help. obviously one of OPs 3 friends he/she confided in either has a bad sense of humour, or isn't a good friend. that and if they are ignorant enough to say that to a depressed person needing support, they better at least spell the insult right.

Two wrongs don't make a right but people need to stand up for themselves
MandieL 27
Standing up for yourself would be telling said classmate that that was insensitive and rude and maybe try to explain why. Standing up for yourself is not accomplished by making fun of someone. I'm not defending the actions of the classmate, but I can't condone the behavior of OP in this instance either.
ChopSuey444 20
It says the literal words "We mocked him for being an illiterate jackass." So OP and his classmates began the teasing. Regardless of what OP was talking about, they had picked on someone therefore that someone is picking back. Karma is relevant. OP's post isn't. Depression doesn't make you mock people.

86, the "illiterate jackass" was essentially mocking OP for his depression, so it is in fact relevant.
Shade1982 21
Not a 'pair', a 'pear'. He is advising op to overcome the depression through the meditational art of gardening. Growing and maintaining a pear tree can be quite fulfilling and satisfying.
bgreen1111 16
86, you are an idiot. The person told the OP, who was depressed, to grow a pear. Thats why they mocked him, because he couldn't spell and was unsympathetic. The egging and slashing wad totally uncalled for. Please, cut off your penis and don't have kids.
NostalgiaFreak9 43
#86 What are you, retarded? The classmate mocked the OP for his depression, so the classmate who mocked him was the one who started it. If that jackass was gonna mock somebody for having depression and couldn't use proper grammar in his insult, then he deserved it to get mocked back.
why57why 21
Should have grown a pair and confront him
DragonDude 24
I believe you mean pear, sir.
rieebee 23
Pears are yummy, maybe he was offended you didn't want to grow some for him.
Miss_Whipped 43
Not to be a bitch, but I hate pears.
EvilTurtle 35
That's the bitchiest thing I've ever heard!

Lol, I knew someone would comment something funny about that spelling error

I have to agree. Most of the time police will side with the person that cried wolf first. In your case however, if you report it first and tell the police that the other 2 were attacked (and lets say afterward something did happen to you), it will be INFINITELY easier for you in the long run. Because you reported it first. Good luck to you.
ACSthebeast 16
the guy said to nut up. that's not bad and he should nut up

You'll probably get shot
tarlax 11
I wish we'd get shot of stupid comments like yours. Seriously? "You'll get shot"? What the ****, dude? Smh.
Hildy93 21
You have some sick classmates. They're the real ones needing help

On the plus side, if it turns out to be the so-called 'illiterate jackass", I hope he gets reported to the police and gets what's coming for him. People who flaunt their ignorance about mental illnesses in such a way are one of my pet peeves.
mds9986 24
I'm guessing illiterate was an autocorrect from "inconsiderate"
Enkeria 30
#78, I wouldn't be surprised.
MrGibbs25 20
seriously, yeah depression sucks , but you couldn't just ignore the ass ? he is gonna get you good.
Enkeria 30
Yeah, depression does suck and when someone is vandalizing OP's property just from needing a "shoulder to cry on," is really far fetched and psychotic. I've been battling depression ever since I was little; it's not something we can "just get over and ignore." Obviously OP is in danger if the other classmates have slashed his tires and egged his house...
toaster87 19
OP's property didn't get vandalized because he needed a shoulder to cry on, it got vandalized because he mocked him for being an illiterate jackass
Hunkapoo 19
still, neither situation calls for slashing tires, and egging someones house. and this guy obviously has sine serious issues and sounds dangerous. not something you can ignore easily.
leogachi 15
@25 I believe that comment was suggesting that Op ignore the illiterate jackass and not his depression.
vorspiel 17
He's an asshole for brushing off depression. And his reaction was really out of proportion. What a madman, you should report him before anything escalates!
Enkeria 30
It has already escalated though 12. There is no reason to slash someone's tires and egg the house just from depression.
vorspiel 17
I kinda meant before he starts like knifing people
