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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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.

quit whining, at least you have the privilege of obtaining an iphone. and fyl because you cant basically do the number one thing your parents ask you do to since you reached the age of understanding what school truely is? i think not. sounds like someone is a tad bit spoiled.

what kind of bs is this? youre comparison makes no sense. kid gets and iphone, homeless man gets a ten dollar bill? kid has bad grades so parents take away the luxury of having an expensive phone verses homeless man being broke and getting taunted with a necessity? whackk. it isnt hard to do well in school if you actually acclimate yourself. kids just wicked spoiled if he/she has that attitude.

For everyone saying 'They should've checked grades before giving it to you'- I'm thinking it's always been the rule that bad grades= no phone. Now they just got OP a nicer phone and it happened to be time to check the grades...

Understandable when you think of the beggar not working to earn that money but being poor I believe isn't why he wouldn't get the money. Pretty clear they use the reward system to motivate him and that's not a good way to get people let alone their own son to do things in my opinion just as bad as using food as a reward. It creates more issues then if they were to motivate him cause they are the right things to do and essential for his development as well educated and balanced person.

I got an iPhone too, but the people at the Verizon store didn't do something correctly. I can still do everything but call and text. Now I pretty much have two iPods. That sucks for you though. When will you get it back? Maybe around the same time I can actually use mine.
