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?

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

I understand that, I'm lucky enough that the cons I go to are during summer and winter break

Haha. This kid wants sympathy for being a failure. Suck it up child, you deserve what you get.

You so deserved that. Kudos to your mom for stepping up and punishing you like she should.

Someone was supposed to be heading to PAX East I presume

I liked the ending...

The only reason people fail classes is either because they don't participate AT ALL, or if they literally cheated their way up to the grade they are in because they are too stupid to pass.

That's not true at all. There are learning disabilities and attention span issues that prevent people from doing well in school.

Not to mention home situations can affect your ability to concentrate and do homework. After all, it's hard to focus on schoolwork when you gotta help raise a younger sibling because both of your parents are working... or you only have one parent. Don't be so self-centered.

Have you ever been on a 7 point scale? Failing is very easy if the material isn't one that comes naturally or the grading balance isn't generously weighted.

You are missing PAX East? That is horrible. Sorry to hear that dude. However you sort of deserve it.

As someone who sucks at school no matter how hard I try, I empathize. Sorry for your troubles, OP!
