Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. FML
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML
Today, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, during one of my first days as a teacher, a student stole my phone. FML
Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Make sure she pays for that

You probably could make her pay for it. Sure you weren't supposed to be using it in class, but that deserved confiscating, not BREAKING. (Also don't they have cases and stuff that you can get so that kind of shit doesn't happen? Otter box or something?)

Shouldn't have an iPhone in high school, in my opinion.

When I was in high school, the teachers always confiscated phones. A friend was using her phone during lunch break & the Deputy Principal confiscated it. It can depend on the school though. But really, if you are using your phone during class & it's not an emergency, it's your own fault if it gets taken. You're there to learn, not text your friends & play games. If I had an iPhone I wouldn't have taken it to school with me. As for the whole privacy thing, most phones nowadays do have the option of a lock screen, & iPhones certainly do.

Well I guess the iPhone is 'history' now. /:

Serves you right for getting such a overpriced piece of shit.

Well, ydi for using it during class, but she also should have been more careful with it. If you have more understanding parents, have them talk to the teacher about it, or talk to her yourself.

i had a similar situation. my teacher confiscated my blackberry, n she left it on her desk, when a student came up to ask her a question, they swipped it without her knowning. My mom went to the school and told them to own up for the money cuz when she took it into her hands it than became her responcibility. It doesnt matter if your school has a no cell phone policy like mine does or not, she should have sent u to ur locker to put it away, cuz as soon as its in her hands its than under her care. Send ur school the bill to get it fixed.

Because its a contracted gadget, if she doesn't pay for it, you can legally take her to court for it.

Okay, in my school, if a teacher sees the outline of a phone in your backpack, they can take it away. However, there are policies in schools now, hoping to advance the use of technology in the schools, where students may use their smartphones or other devices that hook up to the web. Mistakes happen, my mom texts me in class and my phone lights up in my pocket, teachers freak out. You don't know the full extent of the op's situation. And the rules are meant to be broken, especially at school- where it's practically prison with worse food. The teacher who dropped the phone does have to pay for it.

And a teacher to pay for it. But what were you doing with your iPhone in class anyway?
