Today, I was riding my bike with my parents. They make me wear a helmet when I'm with them. Some college age kids drove past and yelled, "Nice helmet!" My mother then told me, "They like you!" I'm sixteen and my helmet is blue. With flowers. FML

Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. A couple of cute girls started talking to me, telling me how much they liked my dreads. Seeing this, my mother stepped up next to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "This here is my little baby, treat him nicely!" Thanks, Mom. FML

Safety first

Today, my mother finally pressured me to wear my old helmet while riding my bike. Halfway through my ride, 3 spiders came crawling out of it and onto my face, causing me to lose control of the bike and crash head-first. FML

Today, I was out shopping with my mom. While we were walking, a guy in a car honked at me. I'm not used to compliments, so I was pretty flattered and flashed him a smile. He looked back at me, confused, then shook his head and pointed at my mom. FML

Today, I found out while skiing that my dad likes to call me Pimple because I have a pink coat and white helmet. He has tried to squeeze me. FML

Today, a guy from work that I barely know gave me sunflowers for my birthday. He told me, "You mentioned they were your favorite." I mentioned it to my family at home a few days ago. FML

Today, I was volunteering at a school, as I walked past the swings these two girls smiled and said "wow, you are so pretty!". I smiled back and said "awww, well thank you!." As I walked past I hear them laughing, "she actually believed us." FML

Mostly OK

Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML

Today, I was showing my 6-year-old son how easy and safe it is to ride a bike. I didn't notice a pebble, bust up my leg, and my son is now terrified of bicycles. FML

Today, my father and I were out in town when a lady walked up and commented on what a great looking couple we were. My dad puts his arm around me and says "Thank you! We've been together for 17 years." FML

At least you are being safe... I had a friend die because he wasn't wearing a helmet. your parents are smart.

As much as I personally would like a blue helmet with flowers, I understand. I'm a college kid, and I'm willing to risk brain injury than be seen using a helmet on campus.

You're 16 and old enough to get a job to buy your own helmet. YDI.

here's a really great idea; get a job, its not a big deal, i've had one since i was 15, then buy a new one. you can get a new helmet for as little as 25 dollars canadian....thats like, a 4 hour shift...

Like everyone else said, buy your own helmet, then you can choose the look. You should always be wearing a helmet anyways on a bike... accidents happen. Do you think professional bicyclists wear helmets because it's stylish?

My mom does the same thing. My helmet is blue with clouds on it, though.

That's a sign that you need a new helmet.

Definitely get a new helmet. I have been riding for many years and have had a few accidents; some were my fault but most were the fault of others not paying attention. In two cases my helmet was shattered. I remember looking at it so freaking grateful that it was not my head that had taken the full impact.

i dont see why so many people are talking about the brain damage side of this, i ride my bike without a helmet and ive crashed it a whole lot into a lot of stuff ive hit my head but i dont get brain damage you just have to break your fall with another part of your body

Then perhaps you should be wearing elbow and knee pads instead of a helmet if you intend to "break your fall with another part of you body"... Its all fun n games till someone gets a subdural hematoma. Your ridiculous!
