Today, I had a half-hour conversation with my parents about going to college. I don't know what's worse, that they were trying to talk me out of it or that they're convinced that I'm going to get knocked up and drop out by the end of my freshman year. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents are freaking at me because I just got my report and I failed my first year of college. They told me they have never been more disappointed in me. I have to tell them that I'm also pregnant. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I told my parents I'm pregnant. I got a long lecture from my mom about using protection. It would have been fine hearing all that, but I'm turning 22, I moved out a few years ago, have a full time job with great benefits, and am getting married next summer. FML
Today, whilst on a phone interview with a college I really want to go to, my mother picks up the other line and shouts into the phone "She's not going to college, she's lazy and she'll only disappoint you." The interviewer hung up before I could say anything. FML
Today, I started my senior year of high school and I just learned I'm pregnant. I'm not sure how to tell my parents, considering I had a baby freshman, sophomore, and junior year as well. FML
Today, I tried to confront my parents with the fact that they're almost certainly going to outlive me unless I radically change my lifestyle, and that I needed their assistance to help me stay on track. I only realized after my impassioned speech that they were ignoring me the whole time. FML
Today, my only daughter and her boyfriend sat me down for an important talk. I was thrilled, thinking they were engaged or pregnant. They actually wanted to tell me they're moving half way around the world. FML
Today, I sat my mom down to tell her I was pregnant, but before I could say anything, she started to lecture me on safe sex. I don't see this ending well. FML
Today, I asked my parents if I had a college fund because I will be going to university in two years. They laughed. FML
Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, at least you can't let them down because they already expect the worst.

Hey you listen to your parents. You're gonna put on your big girl pants and work at Hooters just like everybody else.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well here I guess

Don't listen to them. Do what you think it's right. Most of the time, that people that underestimate us are the ones that were underestimated, gave up and failed to active their goal, therefore trying to make others fail.

Hopefully you didn't do anything to influence them to believe these horrible things about you. Prove them wrong. This is not something they can decide for you. This is a very serious, life changing decision. If you do act like the fear you will, then it's time to grow up and get serious! Have a blast in college. I doubt you will regret choosing to go.

You're smart enough to go to college and, hopefully, smart enough to good choices about friends at college, your social life, etc.

Well you show them then. Get knocked up your Junior year, start a day care center at the school, and drop out as a Senior. Take that Mom and Dad.

Without knowing your grades, test scores and sexual escapades, I can't tell. If you are smart and slutty, it's the first; but if you are dumb and chaste, it's the second. If you are a dumb ****, then it doesn't matter which is worse, because college would just be a waste of money. Of course, if you are smart and are careful about sex, your parents are just assholes. Please fill us in with the necessary info, so we can pass judgment on your query.

They probably just don't want you to leave, just ignore their comments and focus on going to college.

Sometimes you should just smile and nod and pretend to listen to your parents. This is one of those times. Go to college!
