Today, my parents decided they won't pay for college because of a Fox News story that said higher education "makes you liberal." FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. 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, after 25 years of marriage, my parents decided to get a very nasty and extremely expensive divorce. Using my college tuition to pay for it. FML
Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Today, I was offered a job that pays far more than I expected, being a high school senior. My parents decided they aren't letting me take the job, saying I should enjoy my childhood. They're also not paying for my college, which is why I was looking for work in the first place. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML
Today, I found out that not only does my sister consider Fox News "reliable" but her husband has been buying Trump merchandise. They owe me $1,900 but they're literally giving a millionaire money instead of me. FML
Today, I told my conservative friends over dinner that I was a bit of a liberal. They then went off on me about how liberals are lazy, stupid, and a financial burden on society. I was the only employed person at the table with a college degree and not living with my parents. FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Going to college doesn't make you liberal, it makes you smarter and more prepared in the world. Your parents are really ignorant

Fox are idiots, they just implied that Liberal people are highly educated. They're right for once; their right wing nazi-fest is for retards.

Oh honey. Try to get into a place like Stanford that has a needs-blind program. Either that or: scholarships, loans and FAFSA. There's always away. It'll just be a bit harder without you parent's help.

The Liberals commenting on this FML are precious. You're all dissing Fox News, yet none of you can form a complete thought, let along a sentence with correct grammar and punctuation. Fox News tells BOTH sides of the story, and if any of you actually watched, you would know that. They have Liberals and Conservatives duke it out all the time. Secondly, I believe the OP's parents are confused because educated people in America are Conservative, not Liberal. Liberals consist of: takers, lazy-a**es, ignorant, and the uninformed. AND to the kid talking about global warming above: YEA, Conservatives aren't denying it. We're saying it's part of the Earth's natural cycle. But honestly, you must live in Florida or something because if you lived in the North, you wouldn't be shooting your mouth off. It's FREEZING outside.

Global warming, climate change-whatever. The point of voicing global warming is not to say humans have destroyed this planet, it's stating that by forces beyond our control, the earths atmosphere is being destroyed. Since we know what speeds up the process of that ultimate destruction, WE the people voice global warming so we can TRY to slow down that process. It really isn't hard to understand and it's ignorant to state something should be ignored because you don't agree with that name. Also, I live in Washington State. I think I am aware of what cold weather is like considering we only experience warmth 58 days out of the year.

B. ombed U. nited S. tates H. onor The Bush dynasty ruined the US. Have you seen the debt we owe lately because of the fiasco in the Middle east? Not to mention the fact that the rest of the world hates us now. Take a look: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

This. Thanks #224. Probably one of the few Americans who acknowledge the world hates them because of Bushy.
