Today, my 12-year-old son was shot in the foot. After hours of not talking, including to the police, he finally told us that his friend accidentally shot him with his dad's gun, and that he didn't want to say anything because he didn't want to "lose any street cred by snitching." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to take my son to the emergency room for shooting himself in the ass with a BB gun. FML
Today, my 14 year-old son asked to join my buddies and me at the gun range. The second I finished the safety lecture and handed him a pistol, he started twirling it on his finger (thankfully, it was unloaded). I smacked him in the head and took him home. Now he's moping and sulking like a bitch. FML
Today, while sitting in a waiting room, a man assured me, "The safety's on" after he handed his kid his BB gun. A minute later, I practically had a hole in my foot. FML
Today, my teenage son broke into my gun safe, took my gun, and dumped the magazine into the side of his ex-girlfriend's family home. He's completely stunned that he was arrested and charged with attempted murder. My wife blames me and wants a divorce. FML
Today, my Dad told me that I was named after the dog he accidentally shot in the head as a teenager. FML
Today, I was babysitting an eleven year-old boy. He decided we would play with Nerf guns with Velcro tips. I shot him in the crotch accidentally, and the dart stuck to his pants, and he wiggled it for about a full minute before his dad walked in to find us both staring at his son's crotch, giggling. FML
Today, my 18-year old son decided to run his hand over our wooden fence to try and get a splinter, as he "forgot what they felt like." Last month, he stabbed himself in the arm with a sewing needle because he "forgot what an injection feels like." I raised this idiot. FML
Today, while at school, some jerk shot me in the foot with a BB gun. While in agonizing pain, I yelled, "FUCK" as loud as possible. A teacher walked by, oblivious to the fact I had just been shot with a BB gun and wrote me up for, "Disrespectful language". FML
Today, I went shooting with my dad and he brought his grandfather's rifle with him. I’ve never shot it before and he told me to be careful with it. The bullet exploded, ruptured the barrel, cut my face, and made me deaf in one ear. Dad still blamed me for “not shooting it properly.” FML
Today, my son broke his arm roughhousing with his brother on a bunk bed. While at the ER, he thought it would be funny to tell a different story to each doctor and nurse, forcing me to speak over him. They found this behavior "suspicious" and reported us to child services. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He is going down a very bad and dark path. You need to have a serious talk to him and cut this bullshit out fast.

He didn't choose the thug life. The thug life endears the foolish.

Snitches get stitches.

so they should just give up on their son is that what you're saying, because that's stupid.
oh_merde 11
Seeing how he got shot in the foot, he's going to get stitches either way.

You can't have street cred if you're a dependent, or in street terms a bitch

Can your son switch schools? He needs to be around a better crowd.

Usually with that, the kid finds the same crowd all over again. OP needs too address his child and teach him to seek different company

Then you end up raising kids who are clueless about others and the world around them. You can't insulate your kids for ever. You've got to educate them in more ways than just traditional schooling.

I think a more important lesson is that just because your friends do things, doesn't mean you should do it too. We, as a society, need to instill in the future generations the need to think for themselves and discern what is right and what is wrong.

Hope your son doesn't become a petty thug

That's serious stuff, he could have been seriously injured or killed. This kid needs a good talking to.

Why'd his friend do it or have a gun in the first place!?!?

This is Texas, everyone has a gun.

I hope being shot in the foot was a sufficient lesson for him, but I doubt it was. You're going to need to give him a looooong talk with this boy so he can understand what an incredibly stupid and possibly lethal thing he just did for the sake of looking gangsta.

With the mentality he has

...now he'd probably consider it to be brag worthy. "Yeah man, I got shot when I was 12, I'm just that hard". He needs his ass whooped. Also, sorry. Accidently hit validate prematurely. :/
