Today, my parents confiscated my iPod, because the parents' group they go to came to the conclusion that music is a gateway to anti-social behavior. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, my parents told me off for reading, as opposed to watching TV like the rest of the family, because it was "anti-social". FML
Today, I found out that the only reason my parents have been letting me hang out with my friends so late is so they can search my room for drugs. FML
Today, my parents canceled the Internet at our house because they view it as a "passing fad." FML
Today, I had to be the responsible adult and take my parents' phones away. Most of their time is spent on social media and low-quality brainrot. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, my parents grounded me and took away my phone, iPod and door. That's right, my door. They think that because I was stumbling and couldn't walk straight last night, I must have been out drinking. They know I suffer from chronic vertigo, but don't believe I was having an attack. FML
Today, my mum dismissed my diagnosed schizophrenia as "too much time with those earphones in". FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML
Today, my parents took away my laptop, TV, Xbox, and car all because I broke up with my girlfriend. They said when I patch things up with her, I can have my stuff back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

anti-social? ...yea, that's why crowds in the thousands go to concerts, and why friends crank their favorite songs in the car and sing along with it... i'd vote fyl, but i think i feel worse for your parents... for being gullible, ignorant twits. so... f your parents' lives.

YDI. Miley, Justin Bieber and Backstreet Boys shouldn't have been listed under " Nu metal. "

They are probably all spooked about that Jared Lee Loughner psychopath. Just tell them that you're not planning on going on a shooting spree, and that there hasn't been any correlation found between music and antisocial behavior.

Start paying for rent, utilities, food and the clothes that go on your back you ungrateful ****. Your parents have every right to do whatever the **** they want, OP, because they pay your sorry ass through this world. Man up, get a job and start buying things for yourself so you can call them yours. 'Til then, get used to this, cause they have the power to make your life hell of a lot worse.

Parenthood shouldn't be about power and controlling your kin. I'm afraid for your children, with an attitude like that.

I bet your children will run away by the age of 10 and your wife will leave you 1-2 years into the marriage, and then you'll have no one to order around anymore and you'll be lonely and you cry all day and wither and die, you sad ****.

You know your parents are legally obligated to provide you with food, shelter, and clothing. We don't know how old this kid is. He can be 12 and unable to get a job. **** his life for having gullible parents and **** whoever ends up with you's life. **** your kids' life too.

#15, you do know that if OP bought his stuff with his own money, legally it's his and it's in his poessesion (sp?). And if his parents try and take it away from him, it's called "stealing."

How do you know OP didn't pay for it with his own job... Quit being a judgemental sociopath.

Start masturbating every now and then, infront of them, when they ask, tell them you've gotta pass time, and since you cant listen to music anymore, you had to replace it with something. Then they'll definitely give it back to you.

So in a way, it does cause anti-social behaviour. But in your parents...

Even if you buy your own stuff your parents can still ground you from them. That being said, if you always have your headphones on then they might have a point. If it were me I would just limit your ipod time some and make sure you have a family dinner, finished homework and exercise as well.

agree. if you are locked up in your room with headphones on 24/7, I'd take it too until you spent more family time.
