Today, my PE teacher yelled at me for not trying hard enough in class. This my second week back after being in the hospital with a collapsed lung. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my PE teacher was yelling at me because I got exhausted too quickly. As we neared the end of the exercise, he declared, "I will let y'all go early if [my name] doesn't give up halfway through this part." With all of the pressure on me, I forced myself to keep going. Then I promptly collapsed. FML
Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML
Today, I went to attend my summer school class again after being out sick for a week. When I said "Here" during roll call, everyone started cheering and clapping. Apparently, my professor has been badmouthing me while I've been absent for pretending to be sick. I'm sure my grade will be fantastic. FML
Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML
Today, I was in school when I got up to ask the teacher a question. For no reason, the guy sitting next to me punched me in the gut so hard I collapsed and saw stars. The teacher simply rolled her eyes and told me to get back to work. FML
Today, my boss called me to say that I've been slow at work this week and that I will be replaced if I don't pick up the pace. That would be understandable, if I didn't have a broken ankle and pneumonia. FML
Today, I got an email from a professor saying he was going to fail me for missing the allotted absences, which is school policy. I pointed out I was in the hospital for two weeks with a life threatening illness and that he even came to visit me. He told me, "Rules are rules." FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, after nearly a week of having laryngitis, I was finally able to talk a little again. Then I yelled at my son for leaving his shit all over the living room, strained my throat, and can barely even whisper now. FML
Today, I woke up my friend and had him take me to the ER. I had trouble breathing and my chest hurt, so the doctor put me on an EKG and took X-rays. I had strained my chest lifting weights at the gym earlier that day and pulled a muscle, and now thanks to my massive anxiety I have a $700 hospital bill. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Suck it up. With your collapsed lung, of course.

When that happened to my brother the school sent him home for an extra week after the doctor released him back.

PE teachers dont tend to listen to reason unfortunately. The ones I had when I took PE the last two years were lazy, rude, and quite uncaring. It amazes me how they even get paid.

You should collapse his left nut. I'm just kidding violence is never the answer. And I just assumed it was a male teacher too. Complain to the office, better yet have your parents complain too.

Just saying but sometimes violence is a good answer.

sounds like my old high school P.E. teacher. who turned a simple game of dodge ball into a battle field with his steroid abuse like attitude...

Explaining may not work with a lot of asshat teachers like this. I had my lung collapse about a year ago, and got to watch my grade in calculus drop to a D while in the hospital. My calc professor pretty much laughed at me and called me lazy and stupid when I asked for help. Hopefully OP's gym teacher isn't quite as much of a dick.

wow! Get a doctor's note? Would that help or do you have one which he has ignored?

I feel so bad for all of you! My PE-teacher was great. I had other bad teachers of course. But ny PE-teacher managed to get this lazy, untalented and unmotivated kid (me) to actually ejoying sports incredibly much. I actually think that there's a huge fifference betweenaamerican schools and European or maybe only Swiss schools when it comes to PE.

My PE teacher was the opposite! I genuinely enjoyed sports, but being a severe asthmatic I really really sucked at them. And when they'd (because there was more than one) would yell at us to run faster. Bitch you first!

You should try to get a note from the doctor excusing you. That was what I did when I was recovering from bronchitis.

At this point screw him. If it still is a problem after a while, take it up with administration. That'll get him to stop for sure

Seems frustrating, try just taking a deep breath- wait or not

You should have tried harder to stop your lung from collapsing in the first place
domolovesyoshi 33
Do you even know what a lung collapsing entails? Are do you actually believe people can prevent it?
TiffyTaffy96 13
You can't really stop it from collasping, or even knowing that it is going to happen....

Generally, for something to qualify as a joke, it has to be funny. And don't forget Poe's Law.

Some people shouldn't teach

And yet, sadly for us students, they still do.
