Today, my parents accused me of being secretive. I have no idea what they're talking about; all I do is work, go to school, sleep, and eat. Now I'm grounded until I tell them what's going on. I have crazy parents, that's what's going on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML
Today, my parents woke me up and grounded me for the "disrespectful" things I said to them in my sleep. Apparently I say these things every night, and each time I do they extend the grounding. FML
Today, my mom scolded me and threatened to ground me for coming home past midnight. Normally, it wouldn't be unreasonable, except for the fact that I'm 24 years-old, and that my parents live with me, in my own house. FML
Today, I was grounded for allegedly lying to my parents about being at my friend's house, in her outdoor hot tub. Apparently, my parents couldn't find me on Google Earth. I can't convince them that it's not actually a live feed. FML
Today, as per usual, my mother went to see her psychic, who told her that one of her children is harbouring a "dark secret". Now we're all grounded until one of us confesses our obviously non-existent secret. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Today, my parents came home after being out of town for the weekend. I stayed home, did homework and completely cleaned the house, thinking I could earn some brownie points with them. They saw how clean the house was and accused me of covering up a party. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, my parents heard me leaving my room at 2 am, and freaked out because they thought I was sneaking out. I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was getting food instead of having a social life. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Perhaps it's time to spend a little more time with your parents!? Maybe they're wrongly perceiving your lack of time spent with them as you being secretive and just want more of your attention. I noticed you didn't add spending time with family to your list up there. There's a good chance they're noticing this as well. Maybe!?

A lot of teenagers don't spend much time with their parents.

That doesn't mean they shouldn't!

Yes but it does mean that his parents are overreacting, if your reason is true

Well if that's really all you do being grounded won't make much difference

tell them you're CIA

I wonder how hard it'd be to get a fake badge

Do CIA agents even get badges? Everything they work on is supposed to be hush hush. So having a badge that declares you work for a secretive government agency kind of defeats the secret part of it.

My parents are the same way. I rarely left the house when I was a teenager, other than going to my part-time job and school. They told me to go meet people and have fun. When I finally got a boyfriend and made friends I wanted to spend time with, they complained that I spent too much time away from the house and would ground me just to keep me from visiting them. You just can't please some parents. Ya know, because they're crazy paranoid.
