Honey, if you post an FML like this, you are practically begging for people to judge you. You are the first person I've ever seen defend their FML, and it's not a very good idea. You write an FML, and you leave it alone. That's the point. I suggest quitting while you're behind.

Listen, I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just saying that FML is not a place to defend your own FML. And you very obviously /do/ care about the judging, otherwise you wouldn't create your own account to comment to everyone who thinks you're a ****/*****/dumbass/****-up/etc. Write what you want, but you aren't helping your case.

YDI

YDI more than anyone i have ever seen on this site.

Erm... Yeah, sorry, but this is one of those rare cases where I wonder how anybody can vote FYL instead of YDI =/

No one here is claiming that they're perfect here. But there is a difference between messing up and owning up to it and messing up and thinking that your life sucks because of powers beyond your control dealing you a bad hand. By posting what you did, the way you did, on this site, you seem to be digging for sympathy, and that's what's getting people on your case. You failed your whole freshman year because you "overextended yourself." I don't buy that for a minute. I overextended myself a couple times when I was in college, and yes, some of my grades suffered, but if you get to the point where you failed a whole year...two semesters, and it didn't occur to you by the end of the first that if you indeed were overextended to the point that EVERY grade was suffering, that it was time to cut back on something...ANYTHING? Be it the amount of classes you were taking, hours at your job or...I dunno, partying? And now you're pregnant? No, don't abort it, the baby doesn't deserve to die, but I'm scared for your child; his/her mother obviously does not have the responsibility to handle herself, how could she handle a child? Seriously, reflect on your choices and stop deflecting blame. I'm sorry if this is harsh, but it's the truth. Take it if you want or call me a self-righteous bastard...it's your choice. But at the end of the day, you have a young life that you are now responsible for. Reorganize yourself and decide how you're going to give your child a good future.

It is a bitch, that's why I feel bad for your kid. (S)he's going to have a shitty life thanks to you, probably grow up to impregnate/get pregnant at 19 and be a failure of life as well. Um, you can drop-add if you overextend? If your condom breaks you can pop a morning after pill? (If you're religious and don't support the morning-after then well being bible-thumping you shouldn't be having sex anyway you hypocrite) Your "long-term BF" has such a good job? Have him pay for the Pill as he is long-term you probably are having sex somehat often. Without a degree he's not keeping the job anyway in this market. I don't care what you think... you have ZERO excuse and the name "failure" fits you well. There are so many opportunities to make up for mistakes... again, I hope you learn your lesson the hard way and shape up hard (yeah, life will be hell for you if you do; karma's a bitch after all) so your kid doesn't end up a failure like above.... good luck.

A friend just sent me the link to this particular FML because they thought I submitted it. Keep your chin up girl, things will get better. I was in the same situation & everyone can **** themselves.

i feel really sorry for your parents. they probably thought they did such an excellent job raising you, and even more so, cuz you went to college! but now that you've failed college AND you're pregnant, they are probably trying to figure out what they did wrong. Realistically, it's not their fault at all, it's yours. You should probably tell them that, too.

You deserve this shit, and I hope you know that nobody fails all their classes through overextending, you useless *****. Whoops, did I just make an unspeakably rude comment? Well, it's appropriate. Guess what, karma's a bitch. I agree with you absolutely, and this applies to you.
