Today, my parents decided to get with the times. So far, they've made me get Snapchat and Instagram accounts, and made me add them on Facebook. They keep acting like annoying teenagers, and get mad at me when I don't play along. For the love of god, somebody save me. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had to be the responsible adult and take my parents' phones away. Most of their time is spent on social media and low-quality brainrot. FML
Today, my mom friended all my friends on Facebook then thought it'd be a good idea to try and act like a teen so she'd be considered 'cool'. FML
Today, I realized I have helicopter parents. They monitor my phone and don't let me have social media or get apps without their permission, give me a screen time limit, and snoop through my texts whenever they want. Then they expect me to trust them. I feel like my house is a prison. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, my mother is mad at me for deleting my Facebook account. I actually deleted the account because I'd had enough of putting up with her criticizing comments on every Facebook post I made. FML
Today, my parents posted nasty comments about each other on Facebook. I think they might secretly be 12 year-olds. FML
Today, my parents scoured my browser history, certain that I have a hidden Facebook account that I'm using to get up to no good. Their reasoning was that there's no way my only friends are my relatives and that all I can post about is about the weather. FML
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML
Today, my kids thought it would be funny to put pictures of naked men and women as people's ID on my phone. They won't tell me how to change it back. FML
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Feel sorry for you, OP. It gets worse. I've had to explain to my parents what "YOLO" and "SWAG" mean

That's the complete opposite of mine

Exactly. 16 and still "too young" to make any social media accounts. Even though I'm just not into them so I don't care too much

My mom didn't know what twerking was, she thought it was the tongue thing that Miley Cyrus does.

I told my younger brother that swag and yolo were curse words so I don't have to hear him say them.

Message isn't obvious enough. Can't tell if OP actually needs help from hip parents?

Maybe you're parents are going through a Mid-Life crisis at the same time... If that's the case I feel so bad for you FYL OP.

One day my dad will ask me how to make a Facebook and I will cringe... until then I won't understand you OP sorry.

Even though I'm going to be 19 in less than a month, my dad would get pissed if I made a snap chat account. He doesn't know about my Instagram....

If you know you would cringe, then you already understand.

My mother made me make her a facebook account. She still doesn't quite grasp the concept of "fake" profiles or that being a group admin is not a real job. I feel you OP.

This is exactly what my parents would do. I feel for you, OP! Just keep going and look away embarrassed when it comes up in conversation. Or, you know, talk to them about how uncomfortable it makes you.

Block them

Tell them Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat are the leading causes f virus' nowadays to make them stop using them. If that don't work, **** you life sideways.
