Today, my teenage daughter faked a suicide because I bought her a Samsung instead of an iPhone for her birthday. FML

Take that back from her, so she gets nothing !

If I were you, I would be beating her with a cane

Why only a cane? Iron bar, sledgehammer, chainsaw... Much more suitable.

And where exactly did your daughter learn to be such a spoiled little shitbag? I think maybe you should re-examine either your parenting method or the people she hangs around with, because she learned it from somewhere. Until then, I hope you took the phone back to the store and grounded her for the rest of her teenage years, because faking a suicide is some shit you NEVER ******* DO under ANY circumstances EVER.

Not always the parents fault. Some kids have peer groups that can be highly superficial

"or the people she hangs around with"

I don't understand I have had Samsung phones for a long time and haven't had an issue with my galaxy s4 and I much prefer it to iphones because its lighter and lot more flat and fits in my pocket better

That's not the main issue here, though

smaller width and height but I meant how flat and light they are

I have lots of problems with my S II but im still stuck with it til sept when i can renew my contract. im going with an htc this time haha.

I just moved from a Galaxy S3 to an iPhone. Let me tell you, I really miss my Galaxy. I'd still have it now if it hadn't malfunctioned. I only got the iPhone because it was free with my phone company and I had to do something fast.

She faked suicide bro ! I don't think the brand of her mobile phone matters.

how does one fake a suicide..?

could mean just to try and make the mom think she did

It's when you commit suicide, but you fake it.

Hold your breath for a very long time??

Kids just don't know how to appreciate and value and be thankful for what they have these days! There are people out there without food and clothes and shelter, let alone a phone!

I'm glad somebody has pointed that out. Also, it isn't fair to judge the entire generation on this one girl's actions, it isn't fair.

No, spoilt brats don't know how to appreciate what they have and those kids have always existed. They didn't suddenly fall out the sky sometime in the late 90s

The internet brings everybody together and makes it seem like we're surrounded by spoiled rich people.

#39. I agree there have always been little ***** in every generation but it seems like there is way more in this current one. I really think people need to reevaluate parenting and discipline. we are doing a disservice to our children when they grow up thinking the way this child does.

The reason it seems like there are more 248 is because the internet and tv make stupidity more accessible in your everyday life. Believe it or not there are actually fewer little ***** in the current generation. Society almost planetwide teaches us that being a little shit growing up is bad and wrong and when it gets out on the internet or tv the little shit feels embarrassed and/or mortified. This idea that their little shittiness could get out to the world keeps more little ***** in line, leading to fewer overall little ***** that you hear about.

Samsung is a pretty good brand. It's a very nice gift. If she can't appreciate it, give it to someone else who will and watch her cry.

While not going for iPhone is appreciable, you could have bought a Nexus instead of a Samsung.

an LG Lucid 2 is my favorite out of all the smartphones.

When I was looking to upgrade, I didn't even look at the iPhones just on principle. And I am very happy with my S3. :-P

Iphones are crap anyways. They never really upgrade with each new generation and the app platforming is a lot harder to work with than android. I've had a Samsung, an HTC and a Nexus, and the only advantage the Nexus has over the other two is that thus far (knock on wood) the battery life hasn't deteriorated over time. My boyfriends little brother has an IPhone and he begged for it and now we often get complaints from him about how we can get cooler and more free apps than he can. Plus with gorilla glass, these things are tough as hell.

Well I personally like Sony best...but Samsungs are pretty good and popular so I don't know why she freaked out. Actually, I'd say they're probably the most popular android phone of all and possibly more popular than iPhones too now.

Well I firmly believe that the Stock Android experience that Nexus gives is unbeatable. I have rooted my phone and made some modification, but still it is stock.

wow she doesn't deserve it if she doesn't know that samsung (generally android) is better than iphone but she doesn't care about that because iphone looks better and thats all it matters ffs

its sad how kids are turning out, kids these days should learn to think of others and stop being so selfish! I hope you teach your daughter a lesson in life, that shes not always going to get what she wants! if I was in your postion I would of returned the phone, grounded her and made her volunteer at a homeless shelter. so she could learn some respect, and think of other people instead of herself.

why did someone dislike what you wrote. Keep preaching!

I wish I could like your comment more than once. I totally agree and it's sad how kids these days are. I hope OP takes notes
