Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML

Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML

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

My precious
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, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. FML

Do as you're told
Today, my parents forced me to do chores. I worked extra slow to rebel against their tyranny. My dad then said I'm not allowed to get my learner's permit for another six months and took away my phone. FML

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

Damn, man I pity this fool who didn't pay attention in school.

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.

sorry but ydi. I"m sure if you put more effort into your academic studies, you'll improve and by extension, also get back your phone.

Exactly! If being successful doesn't motivate you, let the phone as a reward be your motivation :D

My thoughts exactly. People expect everything handed to them on a platter. You have to earn things. An iPhone is expensive. Getting good grades is not a lot to ask in order to get an iPhone..

But the thing is you don't know OP has bad grades. Maybe they have B+'s in all their classes but the parents want A's. Thing is the parents took it away for bad grades but failed to check OP's grades before giving it to them.

OP should know the expectations of her parents. Nobody here said she had bad grades.

FYL for having the phone taken away but at the same time YDI for the grades.

Bummer! Cuz Siri could help you cheat on tests and get those grades right up. But, I don't think teachers will let you talk to her during a test. "Siri, what's the answer to number 11." "It is definitely c)."

Siri seems to have a hard time hearing sometimes, so "What's number eleven?" could end up as "Water numb for seven."

I once asked Siri "What's the meaning of Life?"..... I got a huge list of local churches. :P

Actually that's pretty a good motivator for you to work harder.

ydi. seriously apply yourself, stop worrying about stupid crap so you can graduate and move out and far, far away from your parents as soon as possible. then you'll be thankful for what they did.

That's what you get for being a dumbass.

What're you complaining about? You'll get it back if you bring your grades up, or you could have just shown a small amount of effort beforehand. I've never had lower than a B in school and I got a candle and some gloves for Christmas. I hate this world. I hate Christmas. Bah.

Ookay there Mrs. Scrooge.

Get your grades up and they'll probably give it back. You should keep a good GPA anyway; you'll want to get into college paying the least possible.

I'm glad I got out of high school before thy started doing that shit. You know those teachers are just going to take forever to enter the grades online, so it'll look like you don't have any shit turned in. It's like the worst nightmare for a student of paranoid parents with trust issues.
