Today, my parents confiscated my iPod, because the parents' group they go to came to the conclusion that music is a gateway to anti-social behavior. FML

Today, my parents told me off for reading, as opposed to watching TV like the rest of the family, because it was "anti-social". FML

Today, I found out that the only reason my parents have been letting me hang out with my friends so late is so they can search my room for drugs. FML

Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML

Today, my parents grounded me and took away my phone, iPod and door. That's right, my door. They think that because I was stumbling and couldn't walk straight last night, I must have been out drinking. They know I suffer from chronic vertigo, but don't believe I was having an attack. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML

Today, my parents took away my laptop, TV, Xbox, and car all because I broke up with my girlfriend. They said when I patch things up with her, I can have my stuff back. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

anti-social? ...yea, that's why crowds in the thousands go to concerts, and why friends crank their favorite songs in the car and sing along with it... i'd vote fyl, but i think i feel worse for your parents... for being gullible, ignorant twits. so... f your parents' lives.

Parents can be so idiotic. Fyl OP, I would hate to get my music taken away. At least you can sing in the shower or something. It's better than nothing (:

To prove them wrong, you should appeal to their sense of reason by using quotes from the bible, then organise a school dance just outside of the town limits, and take the Reverend's daughter. Don't forget to teach your ungainly hick of a best friend to dance first. Oh, and squeeze in time for a game of chicken on tractors to win one over your love rival. After all, you're a big city kid in a small town. They say you'll never win, but you know you have to.

FYL for having parents who think that you can't listen to music without an iPod.

Geez, at least you're not posting schizophrenic anti-government rantings on YouTube! Your parents don't know how good they have it... Buy a cheap mp3 player on woot.com and hide it. Also, this will definitely make you move out of your house before you turn 30!

Well, if you listen to some of the hip-hop crap, they sort of have a point.

The OP should remind his/her parents that music leads to antisocial behavior every time they hum, whistle, have music at religious services, or are within earshot of anyone who does any of those.
