Today, I was reading my students' Halloween stories I made them write for my creative writing class in high school. One of my students wrote about attacking me. She got my street address perfect and everything. FML

Today, my teacher read my story about a haunted house for a class assignment. She liked it very much and turned it in to the office to be sent into a state writing competition. An hour later, I was called to the office where the guidance counselor called my work "disturbing" and said I "need help". FML

Today, a classmate at college accused me of stalking her. All because I walked past her house. I was walking to the supermarket. FML

Today, I had to make up a story about my "friends" at school so my mom doesn't keep telling I'm a loser. FML

Today, a kid came Trick-or-Treating at my house. When I told her it was still one more day until Halloween, and that I didn't have any candy, she wound-up her fist, punched me in the groin, and ran off laughing. FML

Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML

Today, I forbade a student in the writing seminar I instructed from continuing to present his disturbing poems about demons. He responded to this by convincing nearly every other student in the seminar to write and read out loud several of his poems. FML

Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML

Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

Today, I gathered the courage and wrote a love letter to put in the girl I like's school bag, at the end of classes. I felt anxious for a response. Her bag turned out to be her cousin's, and I became a joke in the classroom. FML

As long as she doesnt do anything then it should be fine. Was the story good at least?

You "made" them write a story? What did you do, hold on to their pens and force them? It sounds like you are a crappy teacher and I don't blame the student for fantasizing about doing you in.

#77 wtf? Of course he didn't force them to write the story in the way you're thinking about. Jesus Christ. He probulary 'made' them write the stories by...oh I don't know..setting it as homework? A class assignment? You know, how teachers usually do.

Get her out of your class, get her into counseling or suspension, change your phone # before she does something you'll both regret, and quickly dissociate from her. Just in case...

Report that. This is how Harris and Dylan basically said in-code that they were going to shoot people. "Yeah, I dreamed that people were getting shot..."

OP: I don't think you should have the student commited until you've put the story into context. Does the student hate you? Do she show signs of anti-social or violent behaviour? Do you have a healthy student-teacher relationship? Maybe she just did it to scare you, maybe you should talk to her before putting something on her permanent record. But you know, that's common sense. When did schools start using that?
