Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. FML

Today, I was taking an important exam for Calculus. Out of nowhere, the kid behind me starts violently kicking my desk. I quickly turn around and yell at him. He was having a seizure. FML

Today, I found out my son has been lying about being sick. He kept complaining so I took him to the doctor and got him some medicine. Now he’s actually sick because he took meds he didn’t even need. He did it solely so he could get an expensive get well soon gift. FML

Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML

Today, I had RA training and we were doing mock situations. During one of these, I had a seizure. Everyone thought it was fake, until I started violently throwing up. FML

Today, I accused my son of faking being sick. He then blew chunks all over me. FML

Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML

Today, I had the class clown of my preschoolers oversleep our daily 15-minute nap. Not wanting to spare any more class time on his disrupting jokes, I let the headache sleep. After another 10 minutes we called an ambulance. He had a stroke. FML

Today, I faked being sick so I could weasel out of a chemistry test at school. Happy that I pulled it off, I posted my accomplishment on Facebook. I forgot that I'm friends with my parents. FML

Today, I told my dad I wasn’t feeling well, to which his response was to interrupt me and say, “Nope. Not buying it.” I have never faked an illness in my life, and this time I vomited in front of my entire class. FML

Today, my son broke his arm roughhousing with his brother on a bunk bed. While at the ER, he thought it would be funny to tell a different story to each doctor and nurse, forcing me to speak over him. They found this behavior "suspicious" and reported us to child services. FML

Take that money spent out of any gifts/allowances he was going to get in any future holiday or birthday. Maybe that will teach him not to do something so serious.

I'm not even going to lie, that's pretty impressive.

You should make him pay for all of it.

I kinda feel for this kid because I hated everything about group projects in school. As a teacher, I have never assigned one. That said, he should've fessed up the minute he was off school grounds.

In 7th grade I faked feeling dizzy to get out of presenting... Went to the hospital only to find out I really had a seriously low white blood cell count. The moment when taking discovers a true problem.

You just found out the perfect career for your son, OP. Sometimes, you think about the positives to an FML too.

I actually had a seizure at school in 9th grade. It's humiliating and terrifying, especially because I wet my pants and had to be taken away in a ambulance. Ground the little shit until he moves out and make him pay for the bills.

I'd ground the little shit ... Indefinitely!!!

Hope you're gonna make him pay you back for everything insurance doesn't cover or everything if you don't have insurance.

As an epileptic, I'm annoyed. We get it bad enough, most people don't understand epilepsy as it is, now even more people will think it's just a joke. However, kids do stupid things, and it's not your fault. FYL
