Today, I went to my little brother's high school to speak to his counselor about his grades. On my way to the office, the office manager threatened to write me up for ditching class and told me that high school is not like middle school, 9th grade will be different. I graduated 5 years ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the ninth grade dean called me into his office to talk. He asked me if I was new, because it seemed like I was having trouble making friends. I've been going to the same school, with the same people, since kindergarten. FML
Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML
Today, my school sent me an email saying I would be transferred to another class this Monday. I told my mom about it. Turns out my drunk mom ran into my teacher at a bar and started berating her for being at the bar, instead of grading her “kid’s exam already.” I’m a high school senior. FML
Today, I went to my first job interview. I didn't think I was doing too badly, until the interviewer said, "Wait a second, you're in high school?" I explained that the guy who'd called me had said that this wouldn't be a problem. I then watched as my interviewer left his desk to "deal" with him. FML
Today, as I was yelled at by a middle school teacher in front of 30 6th graders for breaking the rule of "no cell phones in school." Luckily, I escaped being sent to the office after explaining I'm a 21 year old college student doing student teaching observations, not a middle schooler. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML
Today, I went to the school I work at, to set up my new classroom. I'm 5'1" and I was carrying a backpack full of fun educational posters. I also have a new boss. When we met for the first time he was yelling at me because "there were no students allowed in here yet." FML
Today, I recently graduated from high school and I went to a college party. I met these girls and told them I graduated college already, to sound cool. I then heard one of them say, "I went to middle school with you, and I was in your math class." FML
Today, one of my friends got upset with me because I’m leaving our high school. The high school I have been bullied at for the past 3 years. FML
Today, I was sternly told that if I didn't pass more students, I would be out of a job. I then went to my class to collect papers, and was stymied by how I could be giving passing grades to the 12 of 24 who didn't turn anything in. College students. FML

I taught high school Spanish when I was 25 and another teacher threatened to write me up because I was in the hallway during exams haha. Give it time, you’ll be wishing for those moments soon enough!

Did you prove him wrong, or did you sulk off complaining that everyone still thinks you're 14?

Are you American? Because if so, it's a perfectly understandable screw up. After all, kids who make it to graduation without either getting shot or shooting up the place themselves are quite a minority.

What a stupid and ignorant thing to say!

Yes, America has a lot of school shootings, but not that many.

I see folks around here are as humourless and self-righteous as ever.

And then the ones who do graduate have to deal with the water turning everyone into gay frogs.

People lose their lives to these things and they still happen. You think it’s perfectly fine to joke about lives that were someone’s kid, brother, sister, and friend?

Yes, princess. Yes I do.

I know the feeling. If I got somewhere with my mom in the morning on a school day, they ask if my mom is taking me to school. I've been told I had to have my mom sign papers for me because they thought I was a minor. It happens a lot

My friend is a teacher and teachers always do stuff like this to her the first time she meets them. A substitute teacher recently told her off for being in the teacher's lounge.

I was once told in Walmart that I had to go to customer service to have them find my dad.... i am 23... when I showed my i.d they called it fake and called the cops on me. who asked for my social security number to confirm if i was a minor or not. and while they were confirming how old i was... they had me call my mom who lives 2 hours away to ask her to come pick me up from Walmart (apparently i looked too young to drive) she asked if i was drunk. when she said that they asked her if she let's her underage daughter drink... yeah talk about bullcrap

Hey! Take it as a compliment, OP! I am 25 and I’m pretty sure some students at the school I work at still think I’m a student as well!

Happened to me. I graduated two years earlier but had to go in to order a new diploma as mine was destroyed by a hurricane. Security remembered me and took me to the office which is where I wanted to be anyways.
