Today, my parents decided on my punishment for failing an English test. No deodorant for a week. They think they're so hilarious, they told all their friends, and now it's all over Facebook. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents got a call from my English teacher. She told them that I have 14 days of detention because I've been cutting class. I've been there every day, but apparently she never noticed me. FML
Today, I faked being sick so I could weasel out of a chemistry test at school. Happy that I pulled it off, I posted my accomplishment on Facebook. I forgot that I'm friends with my parents. FML
Today, my parents told me that they've been having a contest to see who could punish me the most this week. So far, my mom is in the lead by kicking me out of the car near railroad tracks, and making me walk the 4 miles home in the freezing rain. FML
Today, my parents punished me and made me wash my mouth out with soap for cursing. I'm almost 19. I said the word "Hell". FML
Today, my mother refused to talk to me because I wouldn't let her use my deodorant stick. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML
Today, during science, my friend thought it would be funny to pour corrosive acids into the reaction test I was making. I had to explain to my parents why I have no eyebrows, but the worst part is that I only got a D. FML
Today, I was supervising a written exam, which took place in a really warm room. Half of the two hundred participants has probably never heard of deodorants. The other half used probably the whole can this morning. I had to stay in this inferno of stench for five hours. FML
Today, my friends confronted me and told me that they no longer want to visit my house because my dog smells really disgusting. I didn't have the heart to tell them that the smell is actually my parents, who have been trying to "save water" by only showering once a fortnight. FML
Today, I got suspended from school for smoking in the stairs. I'm grounded for a month without my phone, TV or any type of social connection. All of this would seem like a fair enough punishment if I actually smoked, but instead I just smell like my parent's second-hand smoke. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can just take a bunch of showers or buy your own deoderant. Problem diverted.

That's disgusting and immature. Great parents you've got there. If you don't have the means to buy some, I suggest asking a friend to bring you some, or maybe take your parents', if only for revenge.

It's hilarious. What a funny way to punish your child. Is this too creative for you?

53- Actually it will backlash on you when you're the one having to deal with the smell in the house.

53 - actually it's a dick way to punish them because then all of their peers are to think they are nasty for smelling. And the people that don't know the kid's parents are punishing them will just think they are one of the gross people who don't wear deodorant and smell terrible.

So making your child feel embarrassed in front of friends, teachers, strangers, family members and everyone they come into contact with is a suitable punishment for them if they struggle academically? Wow.

Not everyone has sweating problems, and not everyone wears deodorant anyway. Some people cant wear deodorant anyway.There's ways around this punishment and to make the best of it! Less physical and more showers. Personally, it's quite creative. It not like they are abusing their child, they simply said no deodorant. Time for OP to get creative to smell good! And, she gets to keep all her electronics! I'd take this punishment!

you dont need deodorant if you wash yourself properly and keep a face towel for sweat and stuff, seriously im 13 and i know this -.- sozz bout the negativity but... yea... just use scented soap or something

Haha, exactly not everyone is the same. This person is 13 years old and is trying to give some helpful advise. Personally at 13 I hardly wore deodorant because I didn't sweat or smell and I live in Phoenix. So telling them they should know this by now is rude and ridiculous. You should know that at 13, not everyone sweats like you. Give them a break.

Funny. A pre-pubescent child giving deodorant advice.

When traditional punishments don't work, creativity usually gets the message across. Plus they get the bonus of getting the grounding in because who wants to leave the house if they are self conscious?

Yeah, psychological scars, that'll learn em.

To think that a day has come when a kid has to smuggle in deodorant like it's drugs. Your parents are total douchenozzles.

If the OP fails her math test, maybe her parents will take away her douchenozzle for a week, thus compounding her stench issues.

If everyone knows, then you have an excuse if you start to smell.

How is that relevant? Seems counter productive. Maybe if you're smelly no one will want you around and you will have more study time?

How is it counter productive then?
