False hope

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, after suggesting to my daughter for a while that she should try out for a cheerleading team to become more confident, she went to tryouts. She didn't make the team and she's spent the last six hours in her room crying. FML

Now is she upset you pushed her into something she didn't want to do or because she didn't get something you convinced her she could do? Why do parents suggest really specific things? I mean, fair enough suggest stuff for her to get into, but give her a few options and let her pick one she wants to do.

Sorry but that's YDI for convincing her to try out for the team in the first place.

Wow...Okay cheerleading squads are composed of slutty know it all bitches who think they're better than everyone else. And the only girls that make the squad are girls that fit that profile, and are best friends to said bitches. Yeah, that's a great way to boost her confidence; make her a little miss perfect. YDI x1,000
