Today, in a large church youth group, we were told to write our current biggest trial on a piece of paper, crumple it up, and throw it in pile. I wrote "My mother's death and having to leave my friends and family." The one I picked up just said "math." FML

Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML

Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML

Today, I had the worst day of my life. I'd studied science for the whole damn night, only to realize the next morning that it's a math exam. 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, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Doodle

By Busted - 12/01/2010 21:05 - United States

Today, my friend and I doodled on a sheet of paper trashing our English teacher. Later, I went to English class, and my teacher asked for us to take out a sheet of loose sheet of paper and write an essay. It wasn't until I had written on the whole front and flipped to the back that I realized I was using the doodle sheet. FML

Drama!

By fuckparents - 09/01/2012 23:01 - United States

Today, my distraught mom called me, saying my dad had killed himself and to come home right away. After cussing out my math teacher for trying to stop me and rushing back home in a taxi, I ran into the living room, only to find my parents laughing so hard they were practically in tears. FML

Spring cleaning

Today, I asked my mom if she'd seen my financial calculator on my way out to an exam. She told me she'd tossed it in the donation pile that she'd taken to the Salvation Army this morning because it was "clutter." I needed it to take an exam required to pass the class, to graduate next month. The only place to buy a replacement was closed. FML

Wow man. I'm so sorry for your loss. But do understand, some people don't feel comfortable enough to share their real thoughts and feelings.

Some people just don't have that much of a problem, and they still think they're miserable. Which pisses me off.

Having to state your biggest current issue doesn't exactly leave much room to say none. The person having trouble in math isn't confessing misery, they just don't have anything worse, or want to share anything else currently in their life.

Maybe the math kid will get your piece of paper and realize that there are bigger problems than theirs and it will be really helpful for them. Likewise, your getting the math kid's one might help you to realize that while life blows pretty hard right now and that there will usually be trials in your life, they won't always be as severe. The whole point of the activity is to realize that you're not alone in facing these things, and that your youth group and other people in your life are all there to help you and you to help them. ? Also, really sorry about your mom and having to move etc. I'll be praying for you. ?

I am sorry for your loss. Losing a parent at a young age is devastating. I know, my father died in an accident when I was 7. I was fortunate enough to have a stable home even so. Moving away from family and friends is hard enough without losing your mother. My belief in God sustained me. I pray you have such an foundation in your life. God bless.

Although nowhere near as bad as O.P's FML, if you have a serious difficulty with learning maths, it can put a serious amount of pressure/stress on a person and affect their self esteem, parents/teachers. Not saying it's comparable to O.P's problems. But people are trivialising it a bit. And not all teens have serious life affecting blows at an early part of their lives, luckily.
