Today, I was riding my bike with my parents. They make me wear a helmet when I'm with them. Some college age kids drove past and yelled, "Nice helmet!" My mother then told me, "They like you!" I'm sixteen and my helmet is blue. With flowers. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. A couple of cute girls started talking to me, telling me how much they liked my dreads. Seeing this, my mother stepped up next to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "This here is my little baby, treat him nicely!" Thanks, Mom. FML
Today, my mother finally pressured me to wear my old helmet while riding my bike. Halfway through my ride, 3 spiders came crawling out of it and onto my face, causing me to lose control of the bike and crash head-first. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my mom. While we were walking, a guy in a car honked at me. I'm not used to compliments, so I was pretty flattered and flashed him a smile. He looked back at me, confused, then shook his head and pointed at my mom. FML
Today, I was complimented on my hat by two different people. I wasn't wearing a hat. FML
Today, I found out while skiing that my dad likes to call me Pimple because I have a pink coat and white helmet. He has tried to squeeze me. FML
Today, a guy from work that I barely know gave me sunflowers for my birthday. He told me, "You mentioned they were your favorite." I mentioned it to my family at home a few days ago. FML
Today, I was volunteering at a school, as I walked past the swings these two girls smiled and said "wow, you are so pretty!". I smiled back and said "awww, well thank you!." As I walked past I hear them laughing, "she actually believed us." FML
Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML
Today, I was showing my 6-year-old son how easy and safe it is to ride a bike. I didn't notice a pebble, bust up my leg, and my son is now terrified of bicycles. FML
Today, my father and I were out in town when a lady walked up and commented on what a great looking couple we were. My dad puts his arm around me and says, "Thank you! We've been together for 17 years." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As much as I personally would like a blue helmet with flowers, I understand. I'm a college kid, and I'm willing to risk brain injury than be seen using a helmet on campus.

do you rather have brain damage(although there probably isn't much of it anyway)? buy a new helmet and stop whining. YDI

Easy solution: Buy a vespa! Then you can wear a motorcycle helmet. Seriously, though. WEAR YOUR FRICKIN' HELMET. When I was a little kid, I was a helmet Nazi- and one day, I screamed at my dad to wear his helmet as he was leaving. He did- then he had an accident. It split the helmet, and STILL cut into his head. I hate to think what would have happened without the helmet.

You'll be thankful for it when you have an accident. Brain damage is less cool than wearing a helmet.

HOW is this an FML? "Oh, I'm 16, I was bike riding with my parents and some college kids made fun of me." Take it from a college student, if it wasn't the helmet, they would have found something else to make fun of you for. The only good part of this damn post was your mom's obliviousness... other than that, you get a YDI for being a teenager posting stupid ass "OMG! It happened to me!" moments on FML. Why can't all the kids just go back to myspace and leave facebook and FML alone?

SERIOUSLY! ur a typical american idot, honestly... "oh, no, I wore a helmet!" ur not street skating man, it doesn't inhibit your abilities... g-d, stop being such an american teenager, and get over the freaking SAFETY measures. I have a helmet, and i've actually popped I guy in the face for calling me a fag and trying to start something. ur an idiot. get over yourself. oh, and the blue and flowers just mean go big or go home! lmao

Clearly, your brain is already damaged and you don't need a helmet anyway. Who the hell cares what some random people think? Take it from an adult, most college students lose that "make fun of everyone" high school attitude their sophomore year... and the ones that don't generally don't get their degree. Just grow up.
