Today, I was riding my bike with my parents. They make me wear a helmet when I'm with them. Some college age kids drove past and yelled, "Nice helmet!" My mother then told me, "They like you!" I'm sixteen and my helmet is blue. With flowers. FML

Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. A couple of cute girls started talking to me, telling me how much they liked my dreads. Seeing this, my mother stepped up next to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "This here is my little baby, treat him nicely!" Thanks, Mom. FML

Today, my mother finally pressured me to wear my old helmet while riding my bike. Halfway through my ride, 3 spiders came crawling out of it and onto my face, causing me to lose control of the bike and crash head-first. FML

Today, I was out shopping with my mom. While we were walking, a guy in a car honked at me. I'm not used to compliments, so I was pretty flattered and flashed him a smile. He looked back at me, confused, then shook his head and pointed at my mom. FML

Today, a guy from work that I barely know gave me sunflowers for my birthday. He told me, "You mentioned they were your favorite." I mentioned it to my family at home a few days ago. FML

Today, I was volunteering at a school, as I walked past the swings these two girls smiled and said "wow, you are so pretty!". I smiled back and said "awww, well thank you!." As I walked past I hear them laughing, "she actually believed us." FML

Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you ok? You seemed depressed earlier." FML

Today, I was showing my 6-year-old son how easy and safe it is to ride a bike. I didn't notice a pebble, bust up my leg, and my son is now terrified of bicycles. FML

Today, my father and I were out in town when a lady walked up and commented on what a great looking couple we were. My dad puts his arm around me and says "Thank you! We've been together for 17 years." FML

As much as I personally would like a blue helmet with flowers, I understand. I'm a college kid, and I'm willing to risk brain injury than be seen using a helmet on campus.

Oh wow, there's a lot more people that don't care about their brains than I thought.

I lost a friend because he didn't wear a helmet-- they are there for a reason. It's pretty stupid to be embarrassed for wearing one, they save lives.

What 16 year old willingly goes bike riding with their parents? And if you were forced to go with them and forced to wear a helmet, just buy a better one.

I'm not going to fault you for wearing a helmet like some of these fuckwads, willing to risk brain injury so you look better? Yeah, ok, let's see how you look 6 feet under, but hey, at least you looked cool when you were alive, right? You still deserve it though, you're 16, you should have a job, if you have a job, you can buy a better helmet.

#66 and #68- You're stupid. Being 16 doesn't mean that you can't have a relationship and do fun things with your parents.

I agree that that helmet is lame. HOWEVER...buy yourself a real helmet. Seriously, I thought they were lame and didn't wear them for years, but a guy I know just died from a car accident because he got hit and landed on his head-he wasn't wearing a helmet. Simple solution: buy an adult helmet and you'd save yourself from humiliation and from severe head injury.
