Okay, so this happened at school and I’m still kinda fuming about it, but apparently, people are telling me I’m “being dramatic,” so I’m posting here to get some outside opinions.

Here’s the deal: Mrs. Douglas, a teacher at our school, is organizing this charity event and needed 10 Grade 12 students to help out. (It's good for college, it's on the weekend in June and everyone who signs up gets hang out with dogs all day and also it sounded genuinely fun because it was with an animal shelter) She told everyone to sign up during lunch, and I’m like, cool, sounds good.

BUT—the period before lunch, a group of five students (not from my class) go up to Mrs. Douglas and ask if they can sign up early. Mrs. Douglas is like, “Sure, no problem,” and lets them sign up. Totally fine, right? That’s on her.

Then, me and three other girls from Ms. T’s class see the list and there are still spots left. So we go and sign up. Mrs. Douglas do anything, she was fine with it and even smiled at us when we were signing up. We were all excited to help out . Seems fair, right?

But then… cue the drama.

Two boys in Ms. T’s class (who are total teacher’s pets, btw) get all whiny because they didn’t get to sign up first. (this happened like a period after lunch when someone took the last spot) So they go complain to Ms. T that it’s “unfair” that people signed up before lunch. Mind you, Mrs. Douglas literally approved it, but whatever.

Instead of just telling the boys to chill, Ms. T erases ONLY the names of the girls from her class—the ones who signed up early—and leaves everyone else’s names on the list. So me? Gone. And the boys who complained? They get to sign up.

Then, after some more complaints, Mrs. Douglas tells the 10 classes to pick a student randomly. So Ms. T, like all the other teachers, does the random draw. Guess what? None of us four girls who signed up originally get picked. We were replaced by radom people who didn't go to sign up.

So let me get this straight: Ms. T erases only us, puts the boys who complained in their place, and calls it “fair.” But if Mrs. Douglas was totally fine with the early sign-ups, and if we followed the rules, how does that make sense?

When we tried to confront Ms. T, she just kept saying she was “making it fair” by erasing the names and that we should’ve “waited until lunch” even though Mrs. Douglas had no problem with us signing up early. So the thing is, we didn’t break any rules and were punished for it anyway.

Now people are saying we’re overreacting and “making a big deal out of nothing,” but we’re honestly so mad about it. So, AITA for being mad about this? Or am I just overthinking it?

TL;DR: Me and three other girls signed up for a "dog day" charity event early, with Mrs. Douglas’s permission. Ms. T erased our names after two boys complained, replaced us with randoms, and now none of us got picked. She said it was to make things “fair.” Am I wrong for being mad?
