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

Fall
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.

What happened to the holiday season being the time of giving, and not the time of giving based on predetermined circumstances?

Well of course, you need to earn it. Good luck OP! Work harder for the iPhone!!!

Do we actually know that the OP isn't passing their classes? Unless the OP said otherwise their parents could be the type to punish for a B or C. Hell I knew someone who was grounded for damn near two months because they got a B+ in Honors Calculus.

YDI for not taking your education seriously enough!

That's not the same thing. And grades are easier to improve than living standards

Did you think you deserved an iPhone? Or did you just want it?

Keevarou, you can't really compare both situations here. Parents need to discipline their children for their own good, to make them good persons. To wave money at the homeless is just stupid and cruel. OP's parents are willing to give them an expensive phone if OP keeps their grades up. It sounds like a good deal to me. It's a win-win situation for OP if they take the time to think about it. People just expect everything to be handed to them on a platter.

Guys his grades probably that bad. It could have been what the parents didn't want.

seems like they just bought OP the phone specifically so they take it away

This could be an FML for you if you have a high voice, or an FML for her if she has a really deep voice, but either way, FYL because that would be awkward for your girlfriend to have a deeper voice than you...
