Today, my parents confiscated my iPod, because the parents' group they go to came to the conclusion that music is a gateway to anti-social behavior. FML

Today, my parents told me off for reading, as opposed to watching TV like the rest of the family, because it was "anti-social". FML

Today, I found out that the only reason my parents have been letting me hang out with my friends so late is so they can search my room for drugs. 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

Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML

Today, my parents grounded me and took away my phone, iPod and door. That's right, my door. They think that because I was stumbling and couldn't walk straight last night, I must have been out drinking. They know I suffer from chronic vertigo, but don't believe I was having an attack. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML

Today, my parents took away my laptop, TV, Xbox, and car all because I broke up with my girlfriend. They said when I patch things up with her, I can have my stuff back. FML

anti-social? ...yea, that's why crowds in the thousands go to concerts, and why friends crank their favorite songs in the car and sing along with it... i'd vote fyl, but i think i feel worse for your parents... for being gullible, ignorant twits. so... f your parents' lives.

Parents can be so idiotic. Fyl OP, I would hate to get my music taken away. At least you can sing in the shower or something. It's better than nothing (:

Wow.... there is only one thing to say about that... Your parents and their group are ****** up. Also, Panzer_Panda.... that is not just in the United States that that kind of crap is believed. ... but then... California, unlike Texas, isn't a whole other country... it's an entirely different planet.

Seeing as your parents still go to those stupid "parent ed" classes, you must be around 8-10th grade. Assuming you have siblings, I guess your parents are in their 40's or 50's. That means when THEY were teenagers, they were listening to Black Sabbath and the Sex Pistols. They turned out to be somewhat respectable people, yes? So why the hell are they listening to someone else rant about how children are fragile and emotional? Why are they listening to someone else when they should be confronting their children about useless crap like this? Parents nowadays don't know how to raise their kids. If they knew any better, they'd know that people more likely than not get together because of music interests.
