Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML

Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML

Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Today, I learned that my dad invested my entire college fund into some shady internet stock, despite my dire warnings about being careful. He told me not to worry as he'd done some research, and he guaranteed everything would be fine. Two hours later that same stock dropped almost 75%. FML

most people don't even know what will happen, IF anything happens at all. people are panicking about a solar flare that might not even happen. the movie 2012 just exaggerated the effects (they combined 2 disasters to make one big disaster movie) if this does happen.

In 2012; the problems are supposedly caused by a solar flare in the Earth's core, which is completely impossible. It does not "combine 2 disasters" it is complete bullshit.

Why would the world end in the 21st century anyway? It's like those futuristic movies that take place in like 2024.. Many, many, many, MANY generations will have passed when the world ends.. Infact, I predict that theres a 99% chance we'll be extinct EONS before it does end..

I am starting to get depressed about all the parents spending their kids' college funds. To me that is stealing. I don't care whether it's 2012 or 2021 or an alien invasion, unless we are starving to death or need money for a last ditch cancer treatment, I would never spend my kid's money. that's stealing,

Today, I followed my daughter and found out she wasn’t with friends, she was on a date. I confronted her about the lie, but she takes after her mother, a lawyer, and steamrollered over me about invading her privacy, so even though she lied, she somehow has the moral high ground. FML
