Back in my day, parents would only take away your video games for failing in school.  These days, they make you destroy it and post video of it.

In the video, a dad can be heard arguing with his boy about school performance, presumably about grades, and telling his son he had “three weeks.” That’s when he tells the boy to smash a slew of gaming consoles strewn across the lawn.

“It’s not my fault,” Jason says.

“Let’s go,” the father replies.

“I hate my life,” the boy says before smashing several of the consoles. But it’s the last one that Jason seems to have an extra affinity for that makes it hard.

Thank God my parents never had social media as a kid, and that my father wouldn’t know how to use it in the first place.  My friends would never let me live this down.
