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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Parents can be so idiotic. Fyl OP, I would hate to get my music taken away. At least you can sing in the shower or something. It's better than nothing (:

It may seem like you Fell On Black Days and live in Rusty Cage right now and that your Parents Just Don't Understand but if they consider music a Highway To Hell then they can confiscate your ipod no matter how much you beg them to Don't Stop The Music. I understand how Angry you must be right now but Dream On to the day when your parents realize that music isn't a Bad Influence. You will have to take the Higher Ground and don't let this New Divide wreck your Family Portrait. One day you will Open Your Eyes and look in the Rearviewmirrow and see your parents are Crazy In Love with you and only want the best for you. Who can name the bands I referenced?

Dumb ass parents are a gateway to resentment, maybe you should pose that fact to them

They are right. Your iPod was the gateway to get you to FML, which is the coat room to anti-social behavior. You are definitely on the road to Hell.

That sucks OP. I know several people whose parents who don't let them watch regular television. One of them speaks maybe a sentence per hour, and the other plays Lord of the Rings in the woods. He's 17. That's what happens when you don't let your kids do normal kid things. You take that risk.

Let me guess, they believe there are satanic messages encoded backwards in the recordings? "I snort the nose, Lucifer! Banana! Banana!" (dating myself with that one...)

My mom did the same thing to me when I was younger but instead of just my iPod, she took everything from me including my tv, radio, cell phone, nintendo DS, and my laptop. Pretty much anything electronic that brought me entertainment she took because these were "distractions". So I can relate to you OP. Your parents are probably trying to help you not become socially retarded. I'm just saying.

That's ridiculous. The world is nothing without music. It's the reason why I have so many friends. They got it backwards.
