Today, I found out that my parents lied to me about my GPA so they could go back on our agreement of "3.0 or above or summer school" and had no intention of honoring the agreement anyway. I've been in summer school doing catch-up for kicks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've lied about my grades for three years of high school already and my mom thinks I'm a straight A student. I'm supposed to be going to college in a year. FML
Today, my mom found out that I’ve been faking my exam grades, turning my 30s to 80s and 40s to 90s on the paper exams. She got access to my online student portal and saw my real grades. I'm grounded for the rest of the school year. FML
Today, my parents saw my report card. Now, they refuse to buy me my the new computer I've always wanted because my grades had 'slipped'. I made honor roll for three terms, and was kept off for the fourth for a single bad grade. I failed gym. FML
Today, I found out that I was held back in preschool because of some developmental issues. My parents didn't think it was important enough to mention it to me. Why hadn't I figured it out? They also lied to me about how old I was. FML
Today, I finally finished my summer assignments for three AP classes. My schedule also arrived. Turns out my school can't place me in any of them, and I just wasted the last four weeks of my summer. FML
Today, I found out that the high school program that I was forced into, which kept me in school until I turned 21, was caused by my mom. She put me in the program without telling me and when I first learned about it, she pretended not to know anything so I wouldn't be mad at her. That was 10 years ago. FML
Today, I'm grounded for literally the whole summer because my parents found out that I was still seeing my grandma behind their backs, even though they banned her from ever seeing us again after she spanked my sister. FML
Today, I found out the high school I have been doing at home for the past 3 years isn't accredited and doesn't count for anything. I'm 18 and starting high school as a freshman next year. FML
Today, after finally applying myself and busting my butt all semester, I found out the school is accusing me of cheating because they couldn't believe I could have gotten near-perfect grades considering my grade history. If this is how society rewards academic turnarounds, why do I even bother? FML
Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did your parents lie to you about your GPA?

It’s best to learn early that most parents have no respect for their children, and will go back on anything they ever say to them simply because they think that they’re the adult, so they have the power. They don’t exactly care how that effects the trust in the parent and child dynamic. Sorry OP, but you really should have known your GPA anyway. It wouldn’t have helped you, your parents would have done what they wanted no matter what, but it’s a no win situation.

I don't agree but I do think that some of what you say is true. but I think lots of parents respect their children but not always in every way unfortunately. Bit I doubt most would do this.

@Interesting33 Well, I certainly don’t mean anything out right negative when talking about this subject. It starts with simple things, like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, etc. the parent already starts a pattern of lying and mistrust. Then as the child gets older, they may say things such as ‘This is MY house’ indicating to the child that they are simply property, such as the house, the TV, and that even their own home is not a sanctuary for them. Or, during arguments, if one parent does slight the child, but the other parent automatically believes the other adult it can reinforce a distrust in authoritative figures. Certainly not all families are like this, but a lot of parents think that because they are older, they are wiser and know what’s best.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. If summer school doesn’t kill you, it’ll make you smarter as well!

Maybe they were correct to trick you into summer school if you can't find your own GPA.

Don’t you have to pay to go to summer school?

If op's school is like how mine were, they send the final GPA in the mail addressed to the parents. If they didnt show OP then they wouldnt have known or they could have photo shopped it as it wouldnt be hard.

But you still know the individual grades, right? So if you can't figure out your own GPA with that maybe attending summer school isn't a bad idea....

You wouldn't expect them to lie to you, so probably wouldn't do the math to check.

sounds like you failed.. at checking your grades.

Okay what grade are you in? At some point a teacher would have told you

You didnt check it yourself? Isn’t it on your report card?
