Today, I was at my sixteenth birthday party. My guests consisted of my grandma who I live with, and my 2-year-old cousin she was babysitting. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a party. No one there was under 60. I'm 16 and it was the only party I've been to all year. FML
Today, it was my Sweet 16. My cousin threw a tantrum in the middle of it. She popped balloons, threw chairs around, and threw my gifts off the balcony. Reason being, she turned 16 last year and didn’t get a party. She perhaps forgot that last year we were in a pandemic. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, some cops came to my house saying that the neighbors thought the party I was having was too loud and obnoxious. It was my grandmother's 86 birthday party. FML
Today, it's my 36th birthday. My boyfriend and I celebrated with a big group of our friends, our families, and their kids. Everyone there was taller than me, including my friend's 10 year-old son. FML
Today, it's my birthday. Today is also the day my grandma died, six years ago. Since then, I get to sit through any sort of attempted celebration while my mom sobs and drinks herself into a stupor in the background. FML
Today, it was my mother's birthday. My 5 year old brother and 85 year old grandma decided to decorate the house with balloons and a blow up "people" they found in my room. FML
Today, I was the designated driver. It was also my birthday party. FML
Today, I was babysitting my 5 year-old niece, and she was really down in the dumps because she didn't get invited to a birthday party. To cheer her up, I took her to Chuck E Cheese. Right when we arrived, we walked in on a birthday party. It was the one that my niece got denied from. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML

So? My birthdays always suck, too, they don't really matter to be honest; just another day. In fact, I think I'd dislike it if people threw me a party; don't like the food. Probably wouldn't like the people that would come either. I think this is a good thing - you get to spend some nice quality time with your Granny who won't be around forever.

I don't blame you, OP. I got nothing for my 16th birthday except a 99 cent birthday card and a "F*ck you!" from my so-called "friends". :( It was the worst 16th birthday i've ever experienced. Too bad I never got a smile from my own family sister but "good for you." :(

At my party 30 people said they'd be there and we spent a bunch of money renting out a great place. My best friend and my stalker showed up =P

Hardly anyone's 16th birthday is magically wonderful and thrown at some fancy venue. Mine definitely wasn't! I learned this lesson again recently on my 21st.

I know, right! I don't think I've even had some fancy venue - infact, I know I haven't. The only time I had friends over for a party when I was little was when we went to McDonalds for my birthday. :S I'm 19 now, and on my birthday, all I did was go to someone elses birthday party (who's birthday was a few days later or before, but held the party on the friday, my birthday). So even when I did go to a party on my birthday, it wasn't for me. :( I don't like that whole singing Happy Birthday and loads of people aspect of parties anyway; the singing is just embarrassing!

Oh, come on. Stop being so whiny and self-centered. So you didn't have a birthday party. Big deal! Other kids don't even have food, or a decent house to live in. Hopefully you'll have plenty of birthdays to celebrate from now on. Instead of complaining that your parents don't spoil you, you'd better go to school, get yourself a nice career and you'll be able to pay yourself as many birthday parties as you want.
