    This teen is sunk.

    A recent high school graduate ditched his tardy parents on a Caribbean island so he could make it back to their cruise ship before it departed.

    Taking to Reddit this week with their written soliloquy, user ProfessionalTax7753 shared that the family decided to take a trip to sea in celebration of their teen’s 18th birthday and high school graduation.

    Typically the family would go to all-expense-paid resorts, but the recent grad wanted a change of pace.

    “I have always wanted to go on a cruise,” they wrote of the week-long trip. “I told my parents it was different and that if we went on excursions we had to follow the schedule no matter what.”

    Such instructions for mom and dad were not followed.

    “They would not head back to the ship when I said it was time to go. They were busy shopping and bargaining with the locals,” they added.

    “I finally said that I was heading back to the ship. My mom waved me off.”

    Surely enough, the Reddit user’s folks missed the ship by close to an hour and reamed out their teen for not getting the cruise to wait for them.

    “I wanted to scream that they were not going to inconvenience 3,998 people because two could not understand what a schedule was.”

    “They ended up having to fly to the next port from there and it was expensive. They are pissed at me for leaving them behind.”

    And, now, what started as a thoughtful, nautical gesture has made waves within the family.

    “I don’t know what I was supposed to do. They literally told me that they knew what they were doing,” they wrote.

    “I wish I had never asked for this. They are making me miserable because I left without them.”
