Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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

I was booed by a few ex-friends when I received my award. Being an asshole has its repercussions. YDI for being a dick/annoying.

Some kids seem to think that you're a loser if you study hard. Everyone seemed to think I was a loser for the sole reason that I actually cared about my grades...

People boo for everyone who isn't popular in their eyes. And the ones generalizing, indeed in America your status is very important, most of the times. I don't mean to generalize but a lot of times it simply is true. And your status is also important in other countries, of course, but you get less 'punished' when you don't belong to the 'normal' group in other countries. Besides sometimes this whole status thing can even be a good thing And sorry OP that most suck. Perhaps you really are a nerdy but who cares? You'll get over this eventually, really lame of the crowd to boo though
