Today, my parents confirmed we were going to be taking a Disney World trip for Christmas vacation. I already knew that we were taking a trip, but I was now missing a week of school. Being in 3 honors and an A.P. class, I said that I didn't want to go. I got called an "ungrateful, little prick". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my 2 week Christmas vacation my boss was talking about wasn't for this year, but 2010. I spent the day with my husband cancelling flights to Florida, and explaning to my 8 year old why we were not going to Disney World. FML
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML
Today, my whole family called me ungrateful and my parents are threatening to ground me because I turned down an invitation to go with my extended family to Hawaii for spring break. I literally just started a new part-time job, but they won't listen. FML
Today, I lost my job because my mom and stepdad forced me to go on our family vacation, even though my time off got rejected. FML
Today, my parents canceled our trip to Greece because my siblings were being brats. When I tried to point out that I wasn't doing anything, they just shrugged and said, "Sorry honey." FML
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML

Coming from an honors and AP student since I was in middle school, go on the trip. You can make up the work, you can't make up the memories. It's worth it, trust me!

**** your honors and AP classes. GPA means nothing in high school. All colleges care about are SAT and ACT scores.

Not my college. Especially in ap/honors classes.

Go on the trip. Missing a week in high school is nothing. You'll make it up eventually & it won't have any noticeable impact on you doing well or getting into college.

You... kinda sound like an ungrateful little prick.

When you're applying for a job years from now, no one will care that your high school GPA was a 4.22 instead of a 4.24. To let you in on a secret, most employers don't even care much if you went to a prestigious school or not. You and your family will still care that you went on that trip to Disney World together. I admire your commitment to what's "important," but just this once, the fun stuff is more important this time.

Having that GPA makes it a heck of a lot easier to get into the college you want and the classes you want, so you don't waste time and money taking extra semesters to get into all your classes.

I agree. If my kid picked school over Disneyland I would be very supportive. Good choice. I screwed around in school and regret it every day.

I am currently enrolled in 3 AP classes, so I completely understand. Combining the work from those classes after missing just one day is equal to a weeks worth of work in average classes.

Was taking 3 APs and all honors. Woulda went in a heartbeat

So did I & I wouldn't. But I live by Disneyland so maybe I'm biased. Really though, it's just a theme park. If you're not a huge Disney movie fan it really isn't worth it.
