Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML

Today, I realized that when my dad said he would pay for my college, he really meant that he was going to forge my signature on a student loan in my name and not make payments on it. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

Today, I borrowed my adopted mom's laptop and found out that either her, my dad, or both of them, have been trying to research legal ways of un-adopting me and giving me back to the foster care system. FML

Today, I went searching for my old school laptop only to find that my stepdad had swiped it and given it to his mother. My sex tapes and nudes are on it. FML

Asshole, he should of told you he couldn't afford them so you had time to get a job and to apply for some scholarships. Sorry that your dad is a coward and a selfish bastard (assuming he didn't just lost his job) but then he wouldn't have enough time to forge them. pre-meditated bastardness.

You Dad is not obligated to pay for your school. He should be smart enough to delete the fake letters. Still, what he did was wrong in so many ways. At some point you should tell him you know. You could use it as a response to something stupid he says. "... like the rejection letters from the schools I applied to that you forged". You don't have to tell him how you know.

Your father just ****** up your entire future because he doesn't want to spent money. Seriously, if you still talk to him after that you have to self respect at all. Just because he is family doesn't mean you have to talk to him anymore. That is earned. And he my friend has not earned that.

This is a perfect example of the "Entitled Generation" that plagues the United States today. You damn kids these days expect everything in life to just be ******* handed to you and everyone else has to pay for your welfare. If you weren't smart enough to work hard in school and get a scholarship then get a job to pay for it or join the Military like I did to pay for your college instead of expecting everyone else to pay for your shit. It will be hard but at least you will build some damn character in the process. I don't blame your paps for not wanting to pay. (Though i will give you that he should have just been honest and not a sneaky sleaze about it)

Excuse me! That's a really huge generalization to make. My parents have paid for both my brother and I to go to school and that makes me work just as hard as someone who's paid for it on their own. Why? Because I'm not the ungrateful brat you think everyone in this generation is. In fact, I'm currently a junior expected to graduate a semester early and have a 3.7 GPA because I work hard and don't want to waste my parents' money (which they worked hard for). How's that for an entitled, spoiled, brat?
