Today, I got an angry call from my 7-year-old son's school. It turned out that while doing a "what I want to be when I'm older" assignment, he wrote that he wants to be an internet troll so he can make people mad and make them kill themselves. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told that my son has Twitter and Facebook accounts that he uses to try to bully people online, some of which are celebrities. He does it really badly, though. FML
Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML
Today, my husband was concerned about our son using the Internet, so he told him a story about a kid who gave out his personal information and was kidnapped and killed by a maniac. Now our son is scared to use anything with a screen. FML
Today, I woke up to my 7 year old son angrily trying to smother me with a pillow. FML
Today, my teenage son called me at work and started screaming abuse at me. He told me how he never wants to see me again and hopes I die a gruesome death. Why does he feel this way? I beat his high score on Bejewelled 2. FML
Today, I had to pick my son up from school after he beat the crap out of another student. The words that made him go nuts were apparently, "You mad, bro?" FML
Today, I got a phone call from my 6-year-old son's school telling me they were concerned about him as he wouldn't stop barking at the radiator. After talking to my husband about it, I found out he's been teaching him so he could see the look on my face. FML
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML
Today, my son announced he wants to be a YouTuber, and wants to make videos of himself doing violent things to pregnant women. He’s 9. FML
Today, my five-year-old son threatened to kill another kid at school. I told the teacher I would have a talk with my son about how that’s not okay. The teacher replied that I’d better call the cops in case he “follows through.” Did I mention the kid is five? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds like you need to have a bit of a talk about compassion...

What concerns me is how he learned that...

This behavior needs to stop. You need to talk to(at this point) your son and verbally try to help him stop. If he continues, then the punishments should begin, whatever severity is warranted for making people WANT to kill themselves.

Well, at least he has goals.

Sounds like a kid being a smart ass. I would ask him about but I bet you'll find he was trying to be funny or get a reaction.

Sounds like your kid has his priorities straight. Tell that teacher that his goals are not for them to judge.

@37 Being concerned about harmful behavior is part of a.teacher's job.

Maybe don't let him spend so much time on the computer. To be fair though, that question does get pretty old by the time a kid is in second grade.

So, if I get this right. You get a call about your son, your first reaction is to get on the Internet and tell everyone? Maybe you should log off, with your kid and start parenting him.

Making a five-minute internet post about it at some point in time doesn't necessarily translate to "immediately and only did that". Get off your high horse.
XxDanno316xX 27
My high horse? Lol. Sorry if expecting a parent to lead by example is considered being on a high horse. I hope someone like you don't have kids. Parenting a 7 year old child means involvement in their activities, watching their interaction with others and guidance. As a parent myself, I don't believe being responsible as a parent is being on a high horse. This parent goes to fml saying their kid might be an asshole, instead of logging off and changing the parenting practice. Wake up.

To #57: Friendly reminder that the "Today" in an FML story is mandatory and that this could have happened years ago. For all we know the parent did indeed take action as soon as she got the call.

So by your logic a parent should cling to their children's leg 24/7? Even when their kids are at school, sleeping or something, parents aren't allowed to go on the internet for 5 minutes? Yeah, OP should have a serious talk with her son, but that she's posting an FML doesn't make her a bad parent.

Oh geez 57, as a parent you should know better than to be on the internet yourself! You made at least 2 comments on this thread. I sincerely hope your children are alright after this neglect.

Okay buddy. But my kid is not the one wanting people to kill themselves. *shakes head*

future FML admin?

I'm honestly wondering where a 7 year old even came up with that from. I know times have definitely changed, but does he get a lot of unsupervised internet time or what?!

Good job, kid
