Today, at my school, the student council is trying to raise $5000 for Haiti. They are doing so by playing the song from High School Musical in the hallways and cafeteria everyday until they get the money. FML

Today, at my school they were having a carnival to raise money. One of the patrons suggested that if they wanted to make money, they should have people pledge money to make me cover my ugly face with a bag. The school got over $500, and I had to wear a bag. FML

Today, in gym class, we were forced to learn the "Hoedown Throwdown" dance, by Miley Cyrus. This will actually be counted toward my grade. I'm in high school. FML

Today, after two years of vigorously fundraising on behalf of my senior class, they voted on spending the senior trip money at a waterpark. It's less than thirty minutes from where we all live. FML

Today, I'm participating in a 30 hour awareness-raising event on famine in Africa. I'm supposed to hand out leaflets to people from my booth. My school decided to hand out a literal crate-load of free cupcakes right in front of us. FML

Today, I played in a high school concert. Some alumni of the band were sitting in the audience and were brought to tears. Not because it was beautiful, but because they were sad to see how much the music program had declined since they left. FML

Today, it was the début of the high school musical I was in. When two others and I sang the word "Hell", my mother yelled at us for using that language, while the musical was still going, and dragged me off stage. FML

Stealing the scene

By Silverfeathery - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff

Today, during a moment of silence in front of the entire high school during my band concert, I managed to hit the stand with my flute, and loudly scrambled to catch it before it fell over. I've never had so many people look at me. FML

Classy Mom

By Meowitzer - 14/09/2019 22:00

Today, I was elected "class mom", even though I didn’t want to do it. I was also handed several envelopes in the hectic school hallway, containing parental cash contributions for the year. I lost several of the envelopes while rushing to my car, and now have to contribute €100 instead of €25. FML

Sounds kind of fun to me. If you know a lot of people don't like the song, why not set up a stand selling earplugs and send those profits to Haiti as well?

I find it weird that you can whine about your life being bad because of music in an anecdote which started by mentioning Haiti. Perspective much?

I'm pretty sure that could very well be considered a form of extortion...which is illegal...

That's hilarious. Obnoxious, but hilarious. Why don't you just use your iPod in the halls/cafeteria? o__O Unless your school is particularly strict about that stuff, I guess.

Can you really blame anyone for being what so many people here consider to be "selfish"? Not everyone can be compassionate about everything all the time; people don't have to be thinking about Haiti every second of every minute of every day in order to be a good person... Do I feel bad about what happened in Haiti? Of course, but do I feel utterly depressed about it? No, because I don't know anyone. And if you're gonna call me selfish for not caring about people I don't even know and for not completely ignoring my own life and my own problems in the favor of people I DON'T EVEN KNOW, then **** you. :)

I agree with this. There are plenty of people who are homeless or disabled here, whether through mental illness or other circumstances that are not their fault. No one is having rallies to help these people, or to help struggling single moms, or to help people who can't find a job because of the recession and are having their homes foreclosed. Haiti is the new "popular" charity. Louisiana still isn't rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina - how about you add ten dollars to your cell phone bill to help with that?

That's NOT what anyone else here is saying at all. We're just saying that complaining about having to sit through a three or four minute song once a day when it's meant to raise money for truly needy people is a bit selfish.

If your city ever gets in the way of a natural disaster, I'll be sure to ignore you because I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU. :) Honestly, you say why should you help those in Haiti when there are so many homeless people in America? Why aren't you helping out the homeless in America then. You so far, are doing absolutely nothing for your community so stop spreading your selfish ideals.
