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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I won an academic award during an assembly. Everyone laughed, followed by booing. 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
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 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
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
Today, I tripped in front of my graduation class of 225 and all of their relatives while receiving my diploma. FML
Today, it was my high school graduation. Everything was going fine until everyone saw my family fighting over where we would go afterwards. Security had to pull them apart. FML
Today, I was one of five people called up to the front in class to receive a special notice from the school administration. The first four people received awards for outstanding effort in school. Mine was a notice that I had overdue library fines. FML
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, it was my high school graduation. Because our school colors were red, black and white, and our principal looked somewhat like Hitler, the senior class prank was to salute him when he finished his speech. I was the only one. FML

For ****'s sake. Some people just sweat a lot. That's all. It doesn't mean they don't wear deodorant, it doesn't mean they don't wear anti-perspirant, it doesn't mean they buy cheap versions of the aforementioned toiletries, it just means they got unlucky with the genes and sweat a lot more than other people. Grow up and accept that not everyone's body is the same, you silly people.

we don't live in the 80s and eay 90s anymore. pit stains ain't cool. wear deodorant (most are also anti persperiants as well) and your problem is solved. ydi for knowing it was going to be hot (it's summer) and knowing it was going to be a large audience. for someone who won 5 awards you don't seem to have much common knowledge.

I completely sympathize. My body has absolutely no temperature control - I freeze in the winter, and I sweat buckets in the summer. I also suffer from those horrid pit stains that ruin shirts. Not only is it gross as hell, but a lot of people are immature about it. Most people commenting so far have it pretty easy since regular deodorants/antiperspirants work for them. You should try Certain Dri - that stuff really works. Secret Flawless also works because it's got a higher amount of aluminum (active antiperspirant). I've tried the Dove clinical too, but I don't think it works as well.

aw, don't worry about it. you're graduating, it's finally summer, and you got 5 awards! so a few people who you never have to see again if you don't feel like it laughed about something completely normal. positives totally outweigh the negatives! (and dunno if maybe you just forgot antiperspirant or didn't apply much, but i've found secret platinum/flawless makes me sweat more! just regular lady speed stick works for me really well. i have no idea why, but you might could try that :] )
