Today, it's my 17th birthday. I asked for a newer car because my car right now sucks. I got a book on photography. I don't own a camera. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, was my birthday. I asked for a camera - nothing fancy, just a basic digital camera. My mother bought my brother a fancy digital camera, with all the accessories, for over £200. She then gave me his old, analogue camera, that I can't get film for anymore. He hates taking photos. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML
Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday and my mom promised me she'd buy me a car. She came home with a toy lego car. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML
Today, it's my 26th birthday. My girlfriend gave me a matchbox car, a glow necklace, and a squirt gun. For her birthday, I bought her a new dress, rented a limo, and took her around to bar hop with her friends. FML
Today, was my 16th birthday and I was supposed to be surprised with a new car. I have overheard my parents talking about bringing it home tonight while I was at a friend's house. We snuck back to my house to see them bring my car home. All I saw was my Dad crash my new car into a street lamp. FML
Today, is my brothers 16th birthday. He got keys to the Lexus. I'm 18, have no car, and got pajama pants and chapstick for my birthday. FML
Today, six days before I turn 18, my mom totaled her nice BMW. She had promised it to me as a birthday present. My step-dad is giving me his old rusty truck instead, so now I can look like a hick. FML
Today, I walk out of my apartment to find that my car is decorated with explicit drawings and "Happy 21st birthday" stuff written all over it. To top it off, my vehicle is completely wrapped in plastic wrap. I'm 22 and my birthday is in December. FML

Wahhhhhh. So let me guess, your parents have already bought you a car last year and you want another one? Do you really think money grows on trees? Buy your own car, mooch.

You sound spoilt. You're 17 and own a car, you should be happy enough.

When you're 17, you don't have a concept of a car 'sucking'. If it gets you from point A to B, it's a good car.

At least now you can earn your money by taking black and white pictures of tree's and serene looking lakes. They've given you the means to get your car, you ungrateful fiend! Give a man a car, and he'll er... Basically, stfu and take pictures.

Boohoo. Go buy yourself a camera. Maybe then you'll get a sense of what this funny thing called "MONEY" is. Oddly enough, it doesn't usually fall out of the sky, especially right now. YDI for being a greedy teenager.

You're 17, you're VERY fortunate to have a car. Get over yourself you spoilt brat. Learn the value of money, as you'll be in shock and horror to find out that it in fact does NOT grow on trees. Learn to respect your parents. They have obviously worked hard and sacrificed to provide you with your so- called sucky car. At least you have a car. You spoilt little brat. Go out there and work and earn some of your own money so that you know the value of hard work and being paid for that hard work. Oh wait, you should probably buy a dictionary first, and look up 'hard work', 'value of money' and then go and get a job. You spoilt brat... have I mentioned that you're a spoilt brat yet?

Use your birthday money to buy a camera, take up photography, sell photos to magazines and newspapers, buy new car. Problem solved. When I was seventeen I got a ten-year-old beater with 100,000+ miles on it for my birthday. None of my friends fared any better. You'll get over it.

Save your money and get your own car, because obviously you don't understand the concept of money. I too wish for a new car, but I'm 20, i'd never expect my parents to go out and buy a car just because mine "sucks". Or, become a famous photographer and then thank them when your older for the photograph book which launched your career.

You mean you're 17, probably just got your license and your car sucks so you figured you'd ask for a car for your birthday? You do realize those things cost money, a lot of money, like thousands of dollars. Be happy you EVEN have a car. When I was 17 I had to borrow my mom's car because guess what? I didn't have one. I know, shocking that people actually turn 17 and don't get brand new cars. Welcome to the real world. Like everyone said, get a job and make car payments yourself if you want one so bad. OR save some money and buy a camera and enjoy the fact that you AT LEAST have a car.
