Today, it's my 18th birthday. My parents got me a $5 gift certificate to iTunes. It came for free with the iPhone they just bought my sister for her middle school graduation. FML

That sucks. Guess we know who the favorite is.

As soon as I read this I said out loud "Woahhh, that's just ****** up."

Haha I'm 11 and I have an at&t phone. Respond to this. I want to see if people actually think I'm a poser and a spoiled bitch for having a phone. That would make basically my whole school a shithole, lol. Everyone has a phone at my school. I call my friends, take pics, and text. Haha, I bet you guys are suprised I know how to call people. You guys are so dumb :)

How about you get the **** off this site because nobody really cares that you want to see if we think you're a spoiled bitch and poser. You are. And we all know how to use a phone. Now go tuck your teddy bear into bed.

Okay #278, First of all I got a phone when I was 12. You probably have some cheap ass phone that mommy and daddy gave b/c your always busy with student council and friendship bracelet making after school. So no one cares and get off the site.

#278: I stopped reading at "Respond to this."

I got nothing for my last birthday, suck it up

every1 that says middle schoolers dont need phones hav no idea. i have a phone bc i have bball open gym and volleyball has a really weird schedule and i use it 2 callher about pick up times. plus u get more freedom when u go somewhere so m/s mite end up needing 1

On my birthday this year I asked for a small get together. In response, my mother tells me that my brother who's birthday is 8 months away is having a party on my birthday instead and I have to stay in the basement because its not right for 20 year olds to hang out with high schoolers. I cried so much. I also got a ticket on my birthday trying to get to class on time. He gets video games, friends, cake, pizza, and laughter. I can't even join in. Glad to say I got out of my parents house two weeks after they did this and I'm never going back. Please just get some independence as soon as possible, it wasn't an option for me because I am depressed and have serious social phobias, but parents aren't always on their kids' side. I'm sorry.

hey at least you got something. i got my first real presents from friends when i turned 16. we were visiting the US embassy last year and my dad told them my birthday was --- 2. i'm born on ------ 3.

Ugh, sucks when parents have a favorite.

I don't know how it goes in America, but in England finishing "middle school" is totally unimportant, and an 18th birthday is HUGE. Like massive family/friends party (like as important as those parties you see on sweet 16 or whatever) (and regardless of whether you can afford an iPod or not! you see your friends and family whether thats at a party or in your back garden!) so imho FYL!!! Come to England and get pissed (drunk), much more fun! :P
