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

MY OPINION IS OVIOUSLY FACT. THE OPPOSING POLITICAL PARTY IS OF LESSER INTELLIGENCE. I DO NOT WISH TO AGREE ON ANYTHING.

@209 YES! the only people who think Fox News isn't balanced obviously haven't watched their programs. Also, the point that O'Riley was trying to get at was that some of the universities out there don't just teach regular classes, but they incorporate liberal doctorine into the lessons. This corrupts the education process by having bias opinions being taught. If no one can find me examples of ~how~ Fox News isn't fair or balanced and how exactally they are "extream" then clearly you have no basis for any arguement and therefore, the fact that Fox News is fair and balanced clearly stands.

@138 and everyone else that makes a remark about socialism.... =) you realy don't know what socialism actually is. "socialism" is an economic philosophy and has nothing to do education or government. It's kinda like capitalism in the sense that it only deals with the economic details of how we live. this is just general information about something that is commonly brought up.

#313: WTF does anybody being Jewish have to do with anything? Even if this was being spread by so-called "Jewish liars", would it make any difference if they were black, Chinese, Catholics, or of any other background? I have no idea where you get off giving the people spreading this the title of being "Jewish" or any ethnic/religious title at all for that matter. Regardless of what your stance is on Fox News and this college-being-too-liberal debate, you are obviously too ignorant to be a part of it and should keep your comments to yourself unless you have something other than uneducated filth to spew. K, thanks.

#305 "look at how free health care worked out in other countries?" oh yea, all of the nations with the top health care in the world have socialized health care. we have one of the worst. pull your head out of your ass and maybe travel outside of your gun-toting Hicksville and you might be able to comprehend that. people that don't support health care for everyone truly disgust me
