Today, my mom found out I'm failing three classes. Now she won't let me go to a convention I bought passes for weeks in advance. Each pass was $45, and I bought 2 more for my friends. You do the math on that, because I apparently can't. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got another parking ticket because I can't afford a parking pass for the school I attend. I now have over $700 in unpaid parking tickets. I have classes all day from Monday-Thursday. I work Friday-Sunday. They recently cut hours at work. Some days I can't afford to feed myself. My mom said, "Figure it out." FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, using the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a new laptop for school. When I went online to register for classes, I found that all the online classes were full and remaining classes didn't qualify for my major. 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 mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, a friend texted me to get a ticket and go to a theme park with her tomorrow. I bought a ticket and didn't hear from her until 5 hours later to say she was sorry, but she doesn't think she'll be going. It was $65 and non refundable. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, I maxed out my credit card trying to help a friend of over 19 years to go see her family for Christmas, only to find out she changed her mind and doesn’t really want to go. I can’t return the bus tickets, and she’s mad at me. FML
Today, I went shopping with my mother, when someone snuck a pack of condoms into our cart while our backs were turned. When we got to the register, my mom, whose wealth makes me ineligible for financial aid, noticed the condoms and she announced that she wasn't paying for the college I got accepted to next year because she doesn't want a promiscuous daughter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You shouldn't have failed your classes. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened to me if I failed classes

Unless the convention was for study skills, YDI. PS, PAX isn't as fun as E3 anyway

it is if it's the only convention you can afford to go to.

GW2 HoT demo is at pax. That alone makes me wish I could go, while im perfectly happy watching E3 from home. All depends on what you go for :)

Tell her to go **** herself

No mother deserves disrespect. Hope you get a good smack for even thinking that's appropriate

How about you go **** yourself and understand that parents are supposed to discipline their kids. If they don't, society ends up with disrespectful asshats like you.

Should have been more focussed on classes than the upcoming convention.. A big fat YDI here. There's no way you don't deserve it.

Shit dude I know your struggles. You sound just like me. Personally though I was having troubles in class because of depression but I feel you. I'm sorry that happened maybe try giving your friends their pass and selling yours. Just remember that con will happen every year and everything will be okay

That happened to me last semester, my depression mixed with barley being able to hear causing me to fail 3 classes.

As one convention goer to another, that sucks! I know how expencive those things can be (i typically pay $60 for three day passes) so I'm sorry you can't go!

Maybe you should try not failing

If this were any other convention, you deserved it. But since it's PAX, I am so sorry for you.

I don't understand how anyone can fail u have a tutor in ur home 24/7 all day everyday it's called a computer!!!

You, apparently, can't use the word four correctly either. You should probably study.

Failing THREE classes at once is serious! A friend can sell your pass at the door and give you the money later. If it's at all popular stuff at the convention, there will be people lining up there. So there's that. You really need to focus. If you're struggling with the work/content, ASK FOR HELP. Trust me, whatever is at that convention will not be important to you in five years. But your future rides on what you do now in your studies. So get to work! Good luck!
