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

@371: Ok, because all people who can't afford insurance MUST be lazy shitheads who've been given all the opportunities that the rest of us have but just chose to be lazy. Words cannot describe how wrong this is. One of my closest friends can't afford insurance, and she's by far the strongest, most resilient, and least lazy person I know. The things she's been through would absolutely destroy the vast majority of people. Her financial situation is a result of her circumstances, and her circumstances are so far from being her fault. I would say more but I don't wanna put her business out there... but anyway the point being that it really pays to get to know some people of different backgrounds before you go around making ignorant blanket statements like that...

This arguement is useless. I have asked multiple peole to name 1 thing bush did well. 95% of people answered "protect our country". umm okay besides the 3000 people killed in 2001. how did the Iraq war help, they didn't find one thing they were looking for. obviously the republicans have some valid points but I stopped reading after so many people blaming Obama for everything, most od you just listen to fox "fair and balanced"<---- bullshittttt. most of the problems have been caused by bush. Obama could get more done If republicans didn't fight him on everything
