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. 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

The truth of this society is that you need to be an adult in your school/professional life to continue being a kid and doing shit you love everywhere else.

the moral of the story?... study harder and do better in school

Same thing would have happened to me. Study harder.

next time, make your friends pay for their own passes and don't let them mooch. and focus more on your schoolwork because life isn't just handed to those who don't try.

You seem like a little shit who doesn't deserve to go anyways. It's really not that hard to pass a class.

Did op expect sympathy? I fully agree with the parents on this, I think anyone that doesn't think this is a fair punishment is probably in high school. One day you will appreciate your parents decision and when you have kids, you will understand why they did what they did.

You don't know why she's failing, you just want to assume it's a character flaw because it makes you feel good about yourself. Signed - College Graduate

How do you know what I assume and how in the hell would it make me feel better about myself? Furthermore by you adding that you are a college graduate has nothing to do with anything and in fact it seems like you are the one trying to feel better about yourself. News flash, I also graduated college, a actual 4 year college with graduate school for veterinary medicine. So believe me when I say that nobody cares that you went to college nor do I care what you think I assume about things.
