Today, my parents told me they're glad I'm an "ugly nerd" because they don't have to worry about me getting into trouble or having a teen pregnancy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and dad were talking about how if I lost weight, I would be attractive and have guys all over me. My dad said, “That’s exactly what I’m worried about.” It took me a while to realize they both think I’m ugly. FML
Today, after coming home from hanging out with a few friends, my mom told me that I shouldn't hang out with them any more. Why? Because "they are way hotter than I am and I'll never get a boyfriend if I'm always the ugly one in my group." FML
Today, my drunk dad told me I'm smart enough that any guy could overlook the fact that I'm fat, but not smart enough that they could overlook how ugly I am. Gee, thanks. FML
Today, I overheard my parents discussing whether or not they could trust me being alone in the house for 2 days. They then came to the decision that I'm too unpopular and unattractive to ever throw a wild party or get laid. FML
Today, my father decided to "prepare" me for the real world by telling me that I'm ugly. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I was afraid our future children would be fat and ugly. He reassured me, saying that he was sure our spawn would take on after him. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. My mother laughed and, when I asked her what was so funny, she told me, "Well, most gays are attractive, muscular, funny and can dress very well. You're ugly, fat, boring, and have no sense of fashion. Good luck." FML
Today, I asked my mom if I was ugly. She said, "Ask your girlfriend." I said I didn't have one. She said "Exactly." FML
Today, my parents are freaking at me because I just got my report and I failed my first year of college. They told me they have never been more disappointed in me. I have to tell them that I'm also pregnant. FML
Today, I was complaining to my sister about how jealous I was of her looks. Her response was "Sometimes it's okay to be the ugly sister. Like, you have less of a chance of getting raped." FML

Now you understand why they were so keen to buy you that WOW membership, XBOX Live subscription and all those games. Turns out you can put a price on virginity!

Wow, what a way to tell your daughter that you hope she stays home forever, lives in your basement and does not find love with another human being ever. "Thanks for the confidence boost mom and dad."

I'm kinda nerdy too. I'm sure you're not ugly :) and your parents were probably kidding! My parents say I'm ugly all the time too. Unless they're serious as well and I'm really an ugly nerd too...

53 I agree with that to a point, but the key word you used was typically. 48 made that comment saying the other poster couldn't be a nerd because she was a teen mum without knowing anything about her, and other people have voted her up. That's what annoys me. There's a stigma there that yes, may apply to some but not to all, and I don't like it. #58: I know a few 30 year olds who shouldn't have kids because they're still too selfish and immature. Is it too difficult to believe that having kids early is the making of some people, they grow up quick, step up to the mark and raise their kids in a decent, happy, not-on-welfare (or depending on our parents) family unit? Because I have, and it annoys me when people have so many negative things to say about something they actually know nothing about. I have a lot of respect for other teen mothers, because I know that it wasn't always a choice but now it's happened they make the best of it, and it's a hard enough thing to do without the people like you looking down on them.

Makes sense

I know a few who are amazing parents. 90% of them dump the kids off at mommy and daddy's house and never parent. Ever watch 16 and pregnant? Most of them are in jail for drug possession and under age drinking. Yep, so responsible

71 That's says it all. Do you really think MTV pick responsible parents for their shows? Of course not, because that would be boring, they want car crash tv. The fact you admitted you know some good teenage parents just proves my point. I'm not in any way being an advocate for teenage pregnancy, I'm saying that #48's comment was unjust because teenage mothers aren't all like that, and it's unfair to tar us all with the 'useless dumb idiot' brush. She didn't know the other girl, but everyone finds it acceptable to use the fact you have a child early on in your life as a stick to beat you with. If I said all nerds never have sex or all blonde people are dumb would that be fair OR true? No. I don't see why this kind of stereotyping is ok, but thanks to MTV and other shows it's only getting worse. Wasn't so long ago that getting married and having kids early was perfectly acceptable, I don't get why it's now such a looked-down upon thing.

They got married because they got knocked up.

A lot of guys (at least the ones I've met) actually love genuinely nerdy girls. I wouldn't worry about it! As for the "ugly" part, I'm sure they're just joking (or they're just being dicks). I used to be more awkward-looking than I am now (hard to believe, I know) but as you get older, you tend to grow out of it at least a little.
