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

My guess is your parents knew what grades you got before they came up to you with the phone, but just wanted to show you what you're missing for not getting better grades...

Ok if I see another moron posting YDI for getting bad grades I will scream. WE. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. OP'S. GRADES. ARE. They didn't tell us. So OP could be failing every thing, getting B's or just A-'s. Either way the parents didn't check the grades first so they shouldn't have given a good grade based reward. 'Nuff said.

If OP has decent grades, I'm sure she would have mentioned in the FML that they aren't bad. She implied that her grades are poor by not giving details of it. Also, I'm sure if the parents don't allow B's or A-'s they would check her grades before gifting something so expensive. Read between the lines.

If you're trying your hardest in school and still doing poorly then drop down a level in that class.

Lol drop down a level? That's assuming OP even has that choice. At my highschool you only had the basic version of every class (except for math in grade 11 and 12) and then the one intended for students with learning disabilities. I had to drop down to the "learning disabled" version in both math and science to be able to graduate on time... Except since I graduated on time, I have to take those classes again to be able to go to university. :/

It's so double posts don't clutter the comments. And I think mods are made aware of it so they can delete it. He already commented once, so this comment becomes useless. But a good majority of it are because people are dicks.

In the US the majority of classes have multiple levels in high school. There's level (or regular), honors and/or pre-AP, and AP. Not to mention some schools offer the IB Programme. Having been to 5 different schools in different states, I can say from my experience that level classes aren't too hard even if you don't try. You'd either have to not show up or do absolutely nothing to get a truly bad grade. OP deserved it for thinking the parents are supposed to give her privileges when she doesn't keep up with the one major task that's asked of a child.
