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...

Please for the love of god take your son's access to the Internet away for a year, or at the very least give him a good slap to the face. He deserves it because no one should want to be an Internet Troll, that makes people want to die, when they grow up. Not even a 7-year-old.

I agree with the first part, but slapping a kid in the face? That's absolutely disgusting and degrading, not to mention that children who were beaten often become sadists which is exactly what OP needs to prevent.

Slapping in the face is illegal in all 50 states. Would you slap an adult? No because you would get charged before the handprint fades away. How disgusting.

#75 I didn't say beat the child, I said slap him, no more than once I will add. My parents did it to me before about the same age and they never went to prison, and the things I did back then was nothing compared to this kid.

Part of me wants to say that a child doesn't have the same level of empathy that people develop as they grow older (that amounts to 10% of me), so he can't be expected to not say something really bad from time to time. The rest of me says that 7 is plenty old enough to understand what he said and bring the hammer down on this kid. Even if he was being a smart ass, there is a time and place for jokes like that. I would expect a joke like that from a 9th or 10th grader when asked that question (asking a high schooler that question as a serious class assignment is just begging for a smart ass joke), but it's not ok from a 7 year old.

This is very concerning behavior, parents need to be watching for signs like this and take them to get help. Most people ignore signs of mental illnesses until it's too late and the person has done something.

That movie was creepy. Good, but really creepy.

Sounds like a good time to set a meeting up with the school psychologist...

7 years old? He has to be the one being trolled for being a squeaker. It's the natural order of things.
