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?

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.

i think you probably missed the point of the story somewhere along the lines, because that reason REALLY sounds made up, or, your parents are just complete retards. as for you all that are saying "FAUX NOISE", which btw is also pretty retarded, im just gonna let you guys know that fox actually gets MORE viewers that CNN. so suck it.

Because most of the insane right-wing nut jobs watch Fox News, and not a program that doesn't agree with their opinions and views.

He gives us money that our children will have to pay back. if you are ok with creating a debt for our future generations then by all means continue to beg for that cash. Why are people soooo interested in getting free money. get a job and you will have money. don't and you can not have money.

Two things: First, your parents would deny you an education because it's more important to be conservative than educated? And more importantly: second, FOX news thinks that's the true thing they're going to pick to share with their audience??? What a strange bunch, to realize that if you know more, you're more liberal, so the choice for them is to know LESS. FOX FAIL. :D

They wouldn't help you get smarter and be educated because FOX NEWS told them it would make you become neither of your parents? Well I hope you won't let them get the satisfaction. Work your ass off to pay for it and/or apply for a scholarship?

frankly this entire thread is disgusting. I have no idea why people who don't see things the same as someone else feel compelled to call them names. and global warming is not real, climate change is. no is saying that the earth isn't heating up but it is not because of humans bacause the tempurature on every other planet us also rising and last time I checked, there aren't any humans on those planets.

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.
