Today, my 8-year-old came home from school crying. Apparently her teacher told the whole class to write about how they felt when they learned that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML
Today, my little sister came home crying because someone had shown her a video about the Slender Man. Trying to calm her down, I explained to her that he wasn't real, just like Santa Claus. She looked up at me and said "Santa's not real?" It's been 3 hours, and she hasn't stopped crying. FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". FML
Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML
Today, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML
Today, my fifteen year-old son decided to tell his little five year-old sister that Santa isn't real. She now refuses to talk to any of us and thinks "her whole life is a lie". FML
Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML
Today, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML
Today, I brought my 6-year-old to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. She told him what she wanted and smiled for the picture. When the lady told her that her turn was over, she began throwing a fit, pulling off Santa's beard in the process. This caused all the kids in line to begin sobbing. FML
Today, my older sister forced me to tell my nephews, 8 and 6, that Santa Claus does not exist, because she was recently fired from her job and is too much of a coward to tell them she will no longer give them any Christmas gifts for the foreseeable future. FML

even worse. my 5 year old nephew had the same experience. his teacher had the same assignment and got the whole class in tears because they all still believed in santa

My sisters are ten and they still believe, so that was a major bitchmove.

I bet she just assumed that all 8 year old's do not believe anymore. Sorry that your kid found out that way! But i bet she feels bad about it now

I love how everyone is saying the teacher is in the wrong. I've told my child from the begging Santa wasn't real and she is happier not being lied too.

At last, someone with some sense in them.

I'm guessing that you don't read her stories, because they're not real.

There is a difference between reading a story and believing it to be true...I´m guessing your children are afraid to go into the forest because of what happend to Red Riding Hood´s grandmother...

right now I'm not happier because my sister now know he isn't real so my mom is telling me how she shopped for us and I wish she would stop and I believe in Santa so she will leave me alone so I am happy to be lie to just need to get it out

that's messed up. clearly she has never seen the look of wonder on a child's face Christmas morning at all the presents that Santa left them that night.

Well I always had a look of wonder because of all the nice things my loving parents and family got me. I don´t feel to deeply traumatized because we skipped the Santa stuff and my father never dressed up in a red suit...

... 8 is a little old to still be believing that junk. I've known 2 year olds who figured it out...

That's when you have the teacher write a letter HERSELF about why she was wrong and how she should come up with a different assignment.

Santas not real and we can't say Merry Christmas without offending anyone - I think some people just need a good slap .

What a horrible teacher!

Go to the school and beat the **** out of the teacher. That'll teach her that IS real.

I don't see why people are taking this so seriously. I don't ever remember caring for a Santa because my parents never said whether he was real or not. When I did eventually ask they said no. Did I care? No. The teacher did nothing wrong.
