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.

so Regan didn't make this country better? are you saying that every republican destroys the united states? if your statement was true then our country would have been ****** long ago back in the 1800s when the party was created. I guess your idea about republicans isn't right seeing how under many republican run congresses/houses the united states has only improved.

@443 I find it extremely ironic that your name is Karl Marx on FML. You should probably take a look at the historical virtues of the GOP and those of the party today. I assure you that Lincoln would not recognize the party as we know it. And no, Reagan did not make this country better. You seem to assume that his amelioration of our nation is an accepted fact, beyond debate. Reagan instituted the "trickle down economics" which created the incredible disparity between rich and poor that we see today. He also pioneered many of the deregulations which allowed our current economy to be so crippled.

Also, I cannot think of any recent times when the Republicans have been in control and the country has gotten better. Though, I suppose this depends on your opinion of "better." If massive deficit and suspension of civil liberties fits your definition of "better," then I guess I would have to agree with you that they have made the country "better." One more incredible irony is that you can't even spell your hero's name: it's "Ronald Reagan," not "Regan."

Canada and most of Europe have universal healthcare and are a lot more liberal than America also, they seem to be doing a lot better than America could the two be related? maybe

you conservatives are morons. don't be expecting anything out of the Obama administration if you keep filibustering every bill needed to put the administration's plans into action. unless a plan or idea is backed almost completely, it cannot work successfully. all the filibustering is doing is halting all progress and not allowing obamas plans to play out how they should. you claim all things liberal to be socialist, but guess what else is socialist? public schools, law enforcement, fireman, medicare, public transportation, social security. I highly doubt that there is a single one of you that has not utilized at least one of those things, most have you have probably used more than one. over the years you have all griped about each of those things, but you enjoy them today. think about what our country would be without some of those things. it's not pretty. I guess Glenn beck didn't go to college because it is "liberal" and Hannity didn't graduate for the same reason. Wow.
