Today, I won an academic award during an assembly. Everyone laughed, followed by booing. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, was my high school's senior awards ceremony. Over 400 people were crammed in the hot auditorium. I won five awards and each time I was called up the laughter grew louder. Apparently even the back row could see my pit stains. FML
Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML
I'd like to thank…
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML
Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML
Congratulations!
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML
Get off!
Today, at a talent show, my band got booed before we even started playing. FML
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
It's never like in the movies
Today, after giving a speech at college, I did the good ol' mic drop. The microphone fell with a loud bang that was heard through the clapping. FML

Just because you don't fit the stereotype people are making fun of doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't be annoyed about it. I have german friends who get annoyed when people make antisemitic jokes, and white friends who get annoyed when people make antiblack jokes, etc. There's nothing wrong with standing up for people who may not be like you.

There's a fine line that separates stereotyping and racism. Only the people who know where that line is are entitled to joke about stereotypes. Otherwise, it's a dangerous thing.

Well if you told us what award you got we'd understand it better Cuz I mean if it's like student of the year, I don't see why they'd do that but if it's like Nicest person to the lunch ladies I can understand

it's funny because you're getting pissy about Americans getting generalized but I bet you laugh at English stereotypes and probably only annoyed because it's true about yourself.

OP, congrats on your award! *clapping* Yay for all nerds, they're hot!

ignore them if it was because you have high academic skills, keep up the work and it will really pay off in the end when you're earning $500K+ a year and they're on minimum wage

For all the people saying the OP is probably an ass, it seems like nowadays everyone like those people. Maybe he's the person who sticks up for the fat kids and talks to the janitor. Kids are mean..

#174, kids aren't mean, they are just plain stupid jackasses sent to this planet to make the life miserable for normal persons. I hate kids so much it keeps me up at night. Seriously, stop breeding and let us be extinguished, this life isn't worth living anyway.

deuce8301 2
well, **** them. maybe OP has been classified as a "dork" but while your paying the morgage off on your new home 10 years from now and they are still living with momma you'll be the one laughing. I was far from a scholar but my high school was pretty good about treating everyone the same. we were 5a so a big school

127- Well every HS in the US is exactly like yours, so you can definitely generalize like that. The harsh truth is there's always gonna be those kids that are crapped on for whatever reason, and although intelligence is valued in the US (despite popular belief), there are places like HS where intelligence can be a blessing or a curse. I've had an experience similar to this, and it wasn't cuz I was a a**hole or annoying (in fact the most popular kids admit they're annoying a**holes at times), it was just cuz I was smart and they weren't. OP, when you step into Starbucks wearing your $500 Michael Kors suit and you happen to notice the clerk is one of the failures that laughed and booed at you that day, you can stare them in the face and say, "Wow, it really sucks when karma kicks you in the nuts, doesn't it?"

beheadings...? that's the easy way out. put the assholes and idiots into stocks naked, next to fire ant holes and pour honey on their genitals...the pricks.

even given all those facts, lets say OP did ONE thing that decided to put him in history as "hateable". Any of us who went to high school know how that is. Kids are unforgivable, and if you're not part of a clique or even the in-crowd, it's worse. You got no one backing you up. Because they're all hypocrites and they know it, but if you're low man on the totem pole, you're fair-game.

Props to #51 I agree, but from a Canadian perspective. Things people say are either true, false, funny, or making themselves look stupid. People take shots at Canadians on here as well. Most of the Canadian stereotypes, we came up with ourselves. Why people get up and arms over things said on here is pretty lame.

Haha ouch. On the positive side, depending on what level of schooling you're at, that award will be meaningless in the near future, along with those school mates. Okay not really a positive, point: who cares what they think!

53- oh shoot I thought all I needed to do was put "I've watched back draft" on my resume and get hired... I've taken police foundations at college, honestly everyone in my graduating class and those who graduated the year before would say it completely useless. to become a firefighter don't spend 8000 on the coarse, volunteer for 3-5 years and you will get hired.
