Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML

Today, my dad took my phone away. This would be fine if I was 14. I'm 22 and pay for all of my own bills. FML

Today, my parents confiscated my iPod, because the parents' group they go to came to the conclusion that music is a gateway to anti-social behavior. FML

13- I have autism and a VERY terrible attention span. On top of that, I can barely remember anything. I walk out of my room and forget where I want to go very often. I still had good grades and excelled despite this. All you have to do is pay attention, stay organized, and try. Just because it isn't easy doesn't make it impossible. OP just sounds lazy.

What did you expect. You can't slack and expect to be rewarded. Oh wait this is America, yes you can.

It's totally fair for a parent to do that. Maybe that wasn't the conditions for the iPhone but op has really freaking awful marks in everything, then they grounded him anyways. His fault if he's so stupid.

that makes no sense. beggers cant choose to be poor, some of them fell on hard times and cant really get another job because of the economy. grades are something we can control, but the OC was obviously to stubborn to fix. ur being a jackass

Don't be a dipshit, get better grades and you'd have the iPhone. Kids are really more retarded each generation. "Oh no! Not my iPhone" that overpriced brick in your hand won't do ya any good when ya flunk out. By then your most used phrase will be, "would you like to super size that for .49"
