That's just it; parents no longer "raise" their children, they "befriend" them instead and try to be the cool parents.

Raise is such a harsh word. Actually, so is parents. Maybe we shouldn't parent kids, but be their "emotional support life friends" after all, if we don't positively reinforce their bad behavior, who will?

Ya you should positively reinforce their bad behaviour or who else is going to race the kids around in wheelchairs huh ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ...

I took 60s comment as pure sarcasm, and I really hope I'm right.

I also thought it was sarcasm, i think most of us did, thats why he has 5 downvotes and not 500

I agree with your comment. But there Are sure parents out there, who raise their children normal and in a good way, but the kids Are just dumb and... you know what i mean, don't you? Im sorry if u dont understand, english is not my mother tongue :)

I blame the nanny states for banning a simple smack in the ass as punishment.

It's pretty bad, but it's better than the abstinence only sex-ed class causing a teen pregnancy.

120- I noticed your comment and since that was my FML, I just wanted to tell you my thoughts about it: I find this to be much more fucked up. My situation may have sucked, but what was done to OP goes way beyond that. What was done to him was so cruel; so much so that, like Vitani_Verci, I can't even comprehend why anyone would or how anyone could do something like that.

I'm curious now what FML are you talking about?

Yes or a hate crime or even kidnapping

I think those are a little extreme for this situation, but its definitely a case of hazing.

It's definitely abduction and I hope OP filed a police report.

And, if the teens are foreigners, it could be Alien Abduction!

Lecture? I was thinking more along the lines of a belt, A baseball bat, A gun... OK the last one may be extreme but definitely one of the other two.

replace lecture with belt and hands and you're exactly right
