Today, my parents, who are divorced, were arguing over who has to pay for my bus pass. They decided they wouldn't pay unless the other one did too. Neither will pay the £60 it'll cost for my bus pass. I now have to walk to school every day, in freezing winter weather. It's 9 miles. Each way. FML

1) It's snowing some places, so "winter weather" is not an unreasonable thing to say. 2) £60 is over 100 USD. Not necessarily that easy to come by, especially if... 3) OP may be a young kid with limited options. 4) Your parents totally suck. You could buy a pretty cheap bike and ride to school. And if you don't have the money, shovel snow (if there's snow) or do some silly jobs until you can afford a cheap solution.

no, because in Canada, we walk 14.5 km, not 9 miles. =)

Pshh, my grandpa had to walk 26 miles in the Alaskan snow each day to school carrying a 35 pound backpack, and it was uphill both ways.

I gotta be honest... I get really tired of things like "It's 9 miles. Each way." NO DUH! I'd freaking hope that if you have to walk nine miles to get there, you'd have to walk nine miles to get home... otherwise, it would mean you had suddenly shifted location. -headdesk-

They meant nine miles both way, as opposed to nine miles total.

yea, they were just clarifying...cause otherwise it might of been asumed to be 9 miles in total..

You have no idea how old the OP is - maybe they're not of legal age to work.
