Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
Today, on Halloween, I received an award for my progress at my drug rehab clinic. I told my mom we should celebrate by going out to eat. Her response? "I got you a turkey sandwich from the hospital cafeteria." Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I was granted a donation to pay for a creative writing course. When I told my mom she couldn't even muster a smile. She found her excitement later, however, when she posted how proud she was of me on Facebook. I can only get praise through my mom attention-whoring on social media. FML
Today, while at a grocery store, I told my mom I had some good news. She exclaimed, "You finally got a boyfriend?!" No mom, just an A on my math test. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML
Today, I graduated from college and my parents gave me an apple. Not the computer, the fruit. FML
Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you." Sweet, right? It was meant for my brother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Depending on the flavor of Doritos, either YDI or FYL.

God bitch, they were Tomatoe flavoured, and your mom gave you a big enough hug for the both of us.

He was trying to teach you not to be an over-achieving, self centered little twat pocket. Besides, cheerleading stopped being cool in the 80's. Shut up and have a Dorito.

Well it sucks about the honor roll part, but you got an award for being a cheerleader? I didn't realize it was admirable to be a stereotypical girl who sleeps with every member of the football/basketball team who's only good for wearing skanky outfits. Not saying that's what you are, but I am saying that being a cheerleader doesn't get you a free pass to royalty.

Are you kidding me? You assume that just because someone is a cheerleader, that makes them a stereotype? What if they simply enjoy gymnastics/cheering/dancing? You watch way too many movies. You're judging a person's entire life based on ONE of their hobbies? Cheerleader = / = ****. Grow up. Take a look around, and try to see the world as it really is. Some of the nicest girls in my school were cheerleaders. Like I said, you watch way too many movies. This is real life, not some eighties comedy movie. Furthermore, you DID imply that the commenter was a ****. Don't try to deny that. God, people like you make me want to puke. Seriously.

The posters on here can be very closed-minded. If you enjoy cheerleading, go for it. Congrats on the awards. But your dad's life doesn't revolve around you every second of your life. Things like this will happen, it isn't the end of the world

YDI for being a cheerleader. That's not an accomplishment. If my child came up to me like that while I was eating, I'd have the same response.
