Today, my mom came over to visit and permed my hair. Ten minutes after she started, I told her it was burning. She told me to suck it up because it doesn't hurt that badly. I now have scabs all over my scalp, hairline, and nape. FML

Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML

Today, I decided I wanted to bleach my hair, so I asked my mother for help. Apparently, something went wrong, because clumps of my hair started falling out. Now I'm half blonde and half bald, and my mom is just laughing at me. FML

Today, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML

Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML

Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. FML

Today, my mum started yelling at me for leaving scissors on my desk, which my five year-old sister found and chopped all her hair off. She had a lump of hair as proof. After three minutes of her yelling, me crying and apologizing, she laughed and said she was joking. She'd just given my sister a haircut. FML

Today, after spending 2 years growing out my hair, rubbing in oils to make it strong and healthy so I could shave it off and donate to a cancer charity to make wigs, I had a mishap at work with a car's cracked petrol tank. I now have 2nd degree facial burns and like 90% of the hair is burned away. FML

Today, my mom noticed the hickey that I have on my neck. Embarrassed, I tried convincing her that I burnt myself using a hair straightener. She then told me that that's the same excuse she told my grandma when she got a hickey. FML

Today, my brother gave me a massive rope burn. He got a 30-second talk with our mother. I got an allergic reaction to the lotion used to ease the pain. My mother said I was overreacting. FML

I hate parents that say suck it up. My best friend in high school lost his kidney because he was told to suck it up. He sued his parents for neglect, won and took the out of state scholarship.

Ahaha. She's right, though. I should be more diligent with my proofreading. :) Too bad my previous comment disappeared. Hopefully, this bug will be fixed soon.

On the bright side, you don't have to worry about straight hair growing in awkwardly with your curls! That was my only problem with my perm, pretty awesome considering I had a friend in beauty school with no prior perming experience do my hair. :P

Seriously? You can actually look that up. It's not, like, a made up word or something.

Yes, you can actually look it up, and it is a real word. It just means the back of your neck, below your hairline. What I don't get is how when someone asks a simple question like this, people take the time to tell the person to look it up, and act like it might kill them if they just explained. "Google. Use it." "Back of neck" Same amount of words. Google isn't ALWAYS reliable.

Ur mom's a bitch. Does she have any idea how much chemicals there is in perm? Allot. it tends to burn but it's not supposed to burn to much! That's when ur supposed to wash it out! Didn't she rub vaseline on ur scalp, hairline and nape? The Vaseline is there to protect u from getting burnt. Ur not the one with the problem hun, ur mom is. I've been perming my hair since I was 11 and when I said, "Mommy, it itched," she asked where and scratched it. When I said "Mommy it burns." she told me that its almost over and if I complained again, she'd wash it out.
