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

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

If you don't own a camera, how do you take all of those emo weird angled pictures for your myspace page? Oh, and be happy you have a car. I've paid for all the cars I've had, and had to work hard to get the money to get the cars I've had. Stop whining. At least it drives.

#249, PrinceTwilight17, Just because YOU won't have a car until you pay for one yourself doesn't mean that he's spoiled, It simply means that 1. Your parents can't afford to buy you a car, 2. Your parents can afford it, but they don't love you so they won't waste the money, or 3. You are just less priveliged than the OP. The phrase "Spoiled Brat" gets thrown around by people who can't afford to have nicer things so they call richer people brats, or superficial, or conceited, and whatnot, only because they wish they could live a more comfortable life. You, are one of those people. It's not good to be so young and so apparently bitter. Go **** yourself.

you don't seem to understand that people who are poor can be spoiled too. that's very common. don't get all made at someone who is saying that some guy should stop bitching about having a car he doesn't like a year after he gets his license. he should have a ****** up car. it's his first one.

czeeech, the child is a spoiled brat because he is greedy Consider this a Veruca Salt case; the OP has something, but he just wants more. "I only have [lists extensive list of pets]! I WANT a SQUIRREL!" = "I only have this car! I want THAT car!" Also the "you're just jealous" argument is always fail, regardless of topic. If mommy and daddy get everything for you, you're doomed because you won't know how to support yourself.

279 got point tooo... I know a couple poorish children who are spoiled. For example, our neighbours will get their children anything they want, including more animals to not be able to feed, even when their electricity is at risk for being shut off. HILARIOUSLY the same goes for a friend of my mom. "I just don't want them to not know what it's like to be without!" or some stupid bull.

OP, you're incredibly ungrateful. Maybe your parents can't AFFORD to buy you a new car. Honestly, you're lucky you have a car at all at that age!

CIVICS SUCK ASS! I have a 93 civic and it blows! this happened to me too. I turned 18 last week, and after praying, begging, and wishing for a newer car, my parents got me a shower curtain for my dorm (I went into college with 30 hours ALL FREE) and a goddamn snuggie.

Haahaaa, stop being a baby. it would be a shame to find out the hard way what is wrong with what you wrote. Just take this advice: Be grateful. And when you have that all figured out, try again. Life is so damn hard, OP. It is about so much more that having another car at your age. Seriously, man; there are grown adult human beings with kids your age and college educations in this country, who don't have a home to live in, much less a sucky car. Dude. C'mon.

dude, i'm 19, go to college 600 miles away from home in a town where the nearest grocery store is a mile and a half away and the temperature consistantly gets down below -20. i do not have a car, but i'm not on this site complaning about it. both my parents work, my 17 year old sister works, and there's my 3 year old brother (who's not in daycare) to take care of. they have one car and can't afford another, so schedules are carefully set. be grateful you have a car at all, you spoiled little bitch... you're 17, stop whining and get a goddam job if you want a better car... and the next time you decide your life is "******" and you want to tell the world about it, try and shut up before you say something stupid again.
