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.

holy shit. this comments section. this ******* comments section. it reads like a goddamn Intro to Politics course. you all are a bunch of whining, know-nothing babies, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you reside upon. "a bloo bloo bloo obama sux lib'ruls want to destroy the greatest nation on earth!" "a durr hurr hur bu$h sux he destroyed this country and obama's trying to fix it!!" guess what: you're both retarded. this country has been ****** for a long ass time and there's nothing your marginal politics can do to fix it. although it is amusing seeing how conservatives hate obama so much when his presidential record is so vastly similar to that of a conservative...

OP, that sucks, my parents are very conservative and have insinuated that my college professors preached in class to not believe in God. Not true at all, I think being in school allows you to open your mind and start questioning, if you're looking for answers anyway. Ultimately, people believe what they want to believe, and if they're easily swayed one way or another without looking for answers first, then that's a waste of a mind. However, I'm sure you can probably work to convince them otherwise. As for everyone else on this thread: I just love the sweeping over-generalization of the other party that is going on. Liberals and conservatives come in all shapes and sizes, in all walks of life and anyone that honestly thinks that there is one stupid generalization that applies to every conservative or liberal is truly an idiot. And unfortunately, having the nation split in so many ways is what George Washington warned against back in the early days of the US, and it's really sad to see that this country is allowing itself to be ripped apart this way and that it has been for a long time... Can't we all just get along?

the foundation of legitimate political parties in the united states is essentially what has caused its downfall, and at this stage in the game, it's incredibly sad to see republicans and democrats bicker like children with each other, since their policies are, as a whole, incredibly similar, but because one has (D) next to his name and the other has (R) they see each other as some immense threat. people are idiots, unfortunately. the only way to really debate is to pay careful consideration to what the other side is saying and treat them like an adult, rather than just dismissing their ideology as either 'too conservative' or 'too liberal.' you're far more likely to convert someone through civility and reasoned discussion than rude dismissal.

if you can explain your gripes with what i've said in a format that doesn't involve ad hominem attacks, like calling me a 'retard hypocrite,' using talking points, buzz words, etc., or putting words into my mouth, i fully welcome it and would be glad to try to see things from your perspective. unfortunately, judging by your other comments, that seems unlikely.

If you were expecting them to pay for everything, YDI. If you have been earning money on your own, FYL.
