Today, I excitedly told my family that, after years of studying and dedication, I've been awarded a full scholarship to Germany. My mom's reaction was to start sobbing about me becoming a "heathen" and my dad and brother started telling Nazi jokes. FML

That's ok. When you get a good paying job because of it, just tell them you aren't going to help them out with anything.

This is an awesome chance you are getting. As a Student in Germany I can tell you its a rewarding place to study. As far as the jokes and stuff go, just remember jealousy and concern have a funny way of showing themselves at a time like this.

You know how sometimes intelligent parents produce stupid progeny? In this case the reverse is true. Your family are morons. Go get your free education in one of the best educated countries in the world and be grateful that the half-wit gene wasn't passed on to you.

don't they know that being a became illegal in Germany like, fifteen seconds after they lost WW2? closely followed by the rest of Europe.

OP. Your family is really really ignorant. Especially your mom.

I really don't get it, Germany is a lot better than anywhere in the US.
