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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

Are you promiscuous? Do they have a valid reason to make such accusations?

That's a pretty bold statement from your parents. Maybe it would be a good idea to go to a community college your first year and then transfer to a university. This will show them you're responsible and can handle your classes. Good luck!

You need to go to college. Dont let anyone talk you out of your dreams. Just be responsible but enjoy yourself. I had good grades, but hated HS. had a lot of fun in college, but worked hard. Graduated top of my class in undergrad and medical school. You can do anything if you want it bad enough.

well prove them wrong. it feels great to prove people that doubt you wrong. and you will get a good education from it. your parents will apologize for doubting you

Don't think twice about it and don't you let them treat you like a bird brained little girl. You're past 18, you are a young adult now , you can make your own choices, right or wrong. The'll only be too happy to take the credit for your achievements.

1. Perhaps they speak from experience? 2. Just use protection. 3. There are worse things that can happen to people. I knew a guy that didn't live till graduation.

My parents are divorced, and in the state I live in, each parent pays a third, and the kid also pays a third. I happened to get a scholarship that covered tuition, and all they had to worry about was room/board. My mom still had a fit because "$4000 is too much money per year." That's about how much she spends on cigarettes per year. She literally disowned me because of this. I pray for you, op.

Two words: student loans. You get the **** out of there as fast as you can. Judging by your description, they will do what they can to run your life. Don't give them that satisfaction.
