Today, my science teacher decided not to recommend me for an honors science class for next year. The reason? Last week, I made the mistake of asking whether spray tans give vitamins in the same way as the sun. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a science test. A question asked, "What is the first stage of photosynthesis?" I didn't know, so just trying to be light-hearted, I wrote, "The plant must first believe in itself." My teacher didn't think it was funny, and gave me detention for insulting her intelligence. FML
Today, during science, my friend thought it would be funny to pour corrosive acids into the reaction test I was making. I had to explain to my parents why I have no eyebrows, but the worst part is that I only got a D. FML
Today, as a science teacher, I did a science experiment in front of a class. One of my students asked me if it was "photoshopped." He was being serious. FML
Today, I asked my college chemistry teacher for some much-needed help. Instead of explaining anything to me, she scoffed that if I don't understand something, I should "just Google it." FML
Today, although I received a good grade for my science project, it was disqualified for the science fair that I'd hoped to enter. A beautiful scale model of our solar system was ruined by the Cro-Magnons in one of the other classes; I found pieces of it scattered all over the classroom. The teacher did nothing. FML
Today, my math teacher decided to use my acne as an example of symmetry in front of the whole class. FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, my math teacher decided to give everyone in the class candy. He skipped me, and when another student pointed it out, his response was, "I don’t like her." FML
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML
Today, I was taking a biology final and was just randomly tapping my pencil. My teacher thought I was somehow communicating with the person next to me, and decided to fail me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yes, they do. The orange color comes from smashed carrots, and your skin absorbs the nutrients. Come on now. That's common knowledge.

I know some teachers say there's no such thing as a stupid question, but that's a REALLY stupid question

I would suggest you speak to the teacher again and see if maybe you aren't really honors material... Or if she's being a bush.

Everyone asks stupid questions at times, but you should have been able to think through the answer to that one yourself and arrive at a solid "no." I wouldn't have recommended you.

To people saying YDI: not having knowledge doesnt mean you are disgraced in any way, and asking for the answer to a question is the only way you will gain the knowledge. Sorry people think asking questions isnt acceptable anymore OP

Asking questions is, asking stupid questions is not. As a science student on an honor roll, this is a stupid question...

IG,YLS for the stupid reason to not recommend you, but YDI for the stupid question

You can always by-pass your teachers recommendation and take whatever class you want. Its just the suggested course and isn't mandatory. It sounds like your teacher just has a low tolerance for stupid questions if he/she didn't specifically say it was due to that one question. Otherwise it may be because of half a year of stupid questions.

Justified.
