Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, my parents blew my entire college fund in their quest to finish building their replica Hobbit house in our back yard. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML
Today, I woke up and found that the tree in my front yard was gone. FML
Today, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. FML
Today, I frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML

Why did your parents have access to it in the first place if it's money YOU were saving. My parents can't go into my accounts.

Most people go to college at 18 right? I am just confused how from the time OP was 10-18, they made enough money to buy a beach house. Are you selling drugs OP?

Most people isn't everyone, though. Some people go in their early 20s, some well into their adult years. I've even had seniors in some of my college classes.

But clearly their parents still had access to their college fund. Implying the OP couldn't be that old...

Sue them

I'd tell them to go **** themselves, and then I'd sue them. It's really messed up that parents have access to their children's accounts just because they are minors. My mom has been threatening me with the same thing for ages.

I had about 17,000 dollars in a savings account when I was 12, but a few years ago my parents used it all to help buy my grandma a brand new car. Fyl op, and I hope you get all your money back. Plus extra.

I'm going to assume you are a minor, considering that your parents have the account access. Kids here in the United States have no rights at all. It sucks, but we can't do anything about it. We can't even get a say in which politician is going to be destroying our future home.

I have an idea, let's start a revolution. tell the people what we want. if they refuse, stockpile on weapons, and take the country by force.
