Today, my mom heard on TV that teens need at least ten hours of sleep a day. Now she makes me go to bed at 7pm. I told her I can't finish my homework in time, and my grades will suffer. She wouldn't listen. Last week, she threatened to punish me if I don't get straight As this semester. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom said if I don't get straight As in my classes this year, she'll get the school to hold me back until I do. I believe her. FML
Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML
Today, my dad lectured me because my mom cried herself to sleep last night. Why? Because I didn't want to watch a movie with her. I had to go to sleep to be up for work at 6 a.m., and was too tired to watch a movie in the first place. I live with drama queens. FML
Today, my parents made me wake up at 7 a.m., like every morning. When I woke up exhausted, my mom rolled her eyes and said, "It’s called going to bed earlier." I went to bed at 10 p.m. last night. I fell asleep at 5 am. FML
Today, my parents threatened to take away my college funds. Why? Because I complained about my 10 pm curfew during break as a freshman in college. FML
Today, my mom is obsessed with my academic success, as she was a highschool dropout, and actually gives me more homework than my school does, all so I’ll be more advanced than my peers. I barely know what a television is anymore, since it’s been so long I’ve had enough free time to watch one. FML
Today, after having watched a scare story on the news about heart disease, my mom is now insisting that we have daily, hour-long, family yoga sessions together. I have a job, and barely have enough time to do my homework as it is. I'm going to be grounded if I don't take part. FML
Today, after getting home from a twelve-hour shift at work, I got into bed and passed out. My mother soon woke me up, screaming that she could tell I was "fake sleeping" and ignoring her lecture on how I need to stop being so "lazy". FML
Today, my daughter told me she would rather hang herself than hang out with me. All I did was remind her to go to bed at a reasonable time to get some sleep for an activity she likes doing. FML
Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why does she think you need to be up at 5?

Tell her she can get one or the other from you. Straight A's or straight Z's, not both.

Tell her to stop believing everything she sees on TV. You are in high school. You are old enough to set how many hours of sleep you need. I was up doing homework till 3 in the morning if I needed to. I wanted my good grades that bad. Take charge of your sleep schedule OP.

Make sure she gets the news that daily orgasms are good for your health. Surely, she'll hire hookers for you or at least buy you some masturbational aids. She really needs to keep up on all the health knowledge that is being disseminated these days.

My dad is just like that. He makes go to bed so early. And when I would wake up at 6 and feel tired, he would say its because I went to bed too late. I mean who wakes up refreshed at 6 o'clock. And he expects me to get good grades and be a tri season athlete.

Your mother seems to be listening to so idiots. In high school, I got about 6 or 7 hours of sleep a night and ended up surpassing most of the class.

Sucks. Don't go to bed, just shut off your light and do homework under your covers until she falls asleep. Or follow my lead and wake up at 5 am and just do work then.

You get up at 5 am? Because 7pm - 7am is 12 hours.

You should use a webpage editor and make it say "in fact adults need more sleep then teens" and make it say they need like 11 hours of sleep.

Ten hours of sleep a day sounds wonderful. it might seem a little excessive to you now, but when you get older, you'll be grateful to know that you were once fully rested.
