Why does every kid now believe that they are entitled to a higher education and the funds required to learn a specialized trade? Work your lazy ass through college if it means so much to you! We live in a country where rags to riches is not only possible, but a daily occurrence .... but those rags to riches stories .... all of them involved dedication, commitment, and SELF-RELIANCE. YDI if this is stopping you from bettering yourself.

To those who say that it was OPs father's money... He obviously gave the money to the OP, through his college savings account. If you give something to someone else, it no longer belongs to you. If this was...a cell phone, let's say, OP would not have been expected to give the cell phone back.

Until you're 18, you own nothing. Your name on a bank account means nothing. It's all Dad's. Don't like it. Move the f*&k out and take care of yourself.

i wish i had $64,000 in my college account to lose.

#71, you are a gullible child. Pay more attention at school and maybe they won't call you a gullible child.

gullible child! gullible child!! gullible child!!! nanananana You belive in the bibke, even though its proven wrong on most of its statesments! gullible gullible gullible child!

It's really annoying people going on about how she should be grateful her parents are putting in money for her education. Yeah she should be grateful, but does that give her dad the right to spend all that money saved?! No it doesn't! Just because he saved it, he saved it for her. He can't save something for her, and then take it all away, especially for GAMBLING. And all the people going on about how shes a rich snob, You don't know that. for example, i'm far from rich, but already at sixteen my parents have saved me a lot of money from my inheritances from grandparents passing away, and putting money into locked accounts where they get high interest. And perhaps you know, the OP even saved some of this themselves. Some people are so ignorant..

Those of you saying "ungrateful rich kid" , seriously, SHUT UP! Good for the OP, his parents were able to put that money aside. Making the decision of having a kid means making sacrifices, and money is one of the first you have to make. It's the parents job to get their kid through life. With that being said, not everyone can save that much money. If your parents are capable of paying 64K or more for college, good for you, and if they can't, well you didn't decide. In that case you work for it, or get whatever kind of aid you can get. That's just how society is, whether you want it to be or not. SOME kids are ungrateful, some aren't, it doesn't just come down to whether they're rich or not. Don't hateor be jealous. This is DEFINITELY a FML.

Pay for your own damn school, ****.
