Today, I got a phone call from my mother asking me if I was okay. Confused, I asked her what she meant. She then told me that my boyfriend had broken up with me, and she just wanted to make sure I was handling it alright. I had to find out my relationship was over from my mom. FML

Today, I overheard my parents discussing their divorce. Apparently, what they mostly disagree over is that neither of them want custody of me and are considering delaying their divorce until I’m 18, because at least then legally I’m not either of their problem to deal with. FML

Today, I got a call from "No Caller ID", which usually only shows up when someone calls from my house phone. Thinking it was my kids, I answered imitating a cartoon voice. It wasn't my kids. It was the district attorney's office calling about the job I applied for. FML

Congratulations, you're a thirteen year old boy on the internet and you're using correct grammar. Your life isn't ******; you still have a future.

On the good side, you have very nice writing for a 13 year old. But I'm sorry to hear that, my parents divorced when I was in Second Grade. Things will become better!

i'm sorry to hear about your parents' divorce, but trust me on one thing: there is nothing worse than growing up in a household in which your parents HATE each other, but still insist on continuing to stay married. i still haven't figured out why my parents do that, but it's an epic way to screw up the family life.

You poor guy - that ought to suck. But boys still usually do sound... I´m not going to say feminine... at that age, but don´t worry. It´ll get better.
