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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

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

And sorry OP, but depending on how well you're passing the other subjects...aren't you running the risk of being held back for the year?

If you don't have the time to be focused on your school work so you get good grades then you really don't have the time to go to a convention.

to even say at the end you do the math I can't shows your an idiot and should focus more on school than a convention. although I'm sure u will probably slap a mean burger together for me YDI

You're lucky that's all the punishment you got, kid.

Not sure how you didn't expect this. If you can't float in school, how are you going to sustain yourself without your parents?

Well, hopefully you can use this time to start making an effort towards improving your academic achievements. There's 1 thing you need to remember in your life OP, you are studying for yourself, for your future, not for your parent's sake so they don't punish you again. There's only so much your parents can do to help you, but in the end it's you who will need to make the effort. You are the one who will be living your life 10 years from now, not your parents.

Take it from a ball bag. The better you do in school the easier life can be for you. Because life gets harder as you get older.

yeah and I have never been to a Pax convention because I live too far from every location they attend. what a waste of a ticket.

Take it from someone who did fail 3 classes, you will dig yourself into a hole that will be hard to get out of. Now you have to retake classes on top of the ones you have to take to graduate. You may not graduate on time.
