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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Call yourself liberal, call yourself conservative, either way you're an idiot, perhaps both ends could shut off television news stations entirely and be a little more open minded. Hardly anything on the news is really news, and what is news is a natural disaster or a war, which is usually blown out of proportion. Don't call yourself a member of a party, think on your own rather than being spoon fed your own opinions. And by the way, to all the Obama fans out there, throwing money we don't have into the economy will not fix a recession, at least, not for long.

#245 Looks like someone doesn't know his facts. Bush and his administration lied to Congress saying that there were weapons in the middle east. If they weren't so proud and reckless we wouldn't be in a war AND 13 trillion dollars in debt. I don't think that Bush is a bad guy; he just isn't that bright.

Poor people have a government healthcare system already. It's called Medicare.

We aren' t in debt solely because of Obama, what do you think Bush was doing for eight years? Pinching pennies? It really doesn't matter if another president was in office, we would still be in the mess we're in now. The US has "owed" other countries astronomical amounts of money since the end of the Revolutionary War. Is that supposed to suddenly change now? No. So, this entire argument is a moot point.
