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

Anyone saying "you deserve it" is far from accurate. Yes, she's failing of her own will, but school doesn't teach you the skills you need in the real world. A decent amount of proclaimed geniuses and millionaires never finished high school. Subsequently, it proves to reason that school isn't the factor. If the convention is relatively something they can make a profession out of and really have an interest in, then they should be focusing more on that.

i guess the punishment really is terrible, esp when you've been looking forward to it for weeks, but you've gotta admit you need to work on your studies so suffer a little and impress your mom for rewards next time :)

Since when are you going to use anything you learn in school? it's pointless. You don't need a high school diploma to get a job, it only helps. I don't see what the big deal is here.

While I'd hate if I was told I wasn't allowed to go to one of my conventions that I paid for, I make sure my other responsibilities are taken care of.

They are doing this for you, you know that right? You can always go to a show another time. You'll thank them when in a couple of years you'll be doing your dream job, and half of the "cool" kids who didn't give an F about their education, are unemployed or doing some menial jobs no one else wants.
