They make my life so much harder that it has to be
"Oh, you have plans in an hour? Why didn't you tell us 5 hours ago? You can't go even though you have a free schedule."
Whenever I try and make plans with friends I have to deal with my phone getting taken away a few times a day so theres times I just can't communicate with them, so half the time whenever I get my phone back I find out they already left and came back.
I'm only allowed to go on runs 3 times during the week around my house and I need approval each time.
Whenever I want to god forbid play basketball during the week it ALWAYS turns into a big fight of not prioritizing my grades (I HAVE A 4.8 WGPA) and the stupid "you're not allowed to have fun during the school week." Eventually, IDK what goes through their minds, but if I get on my knees and beg them enough and promise them I'll do all the schoolwork I'd do anyway, they let me go for 1 hour max, or they personally come and embarrass me.
At the big age of 18, I'm not allowed to drive anywhere with my license. When I got my permit, they didn't let me practice because no one else was practicing yet (I'm a few months older than most ppl in my grade). When I got my license, they said I wasn't allowed to drive alone until I had doubled my hours accompanied. After that, I wasn't allowed to drive alone until I was a senior in high school. After that, I wasn't allowed to drive because they said so and they don't trust me. They treat me like a child when it suits them, but oh no, I'm an adult when it benefits them, like when I WORK, when I CLEAN, and when I COOK.
Obviously, I have the strictest phone rules in the 10 mile radius, too. I still have to turn my phone in to them before I go to sleep. Sometimes, when we get home, just cuz they feel like it, I have to give my phone to them so they won't lock me out of the house. I'm not allowed to have my phone if theress an assignment due. (Not missing, I mean DUE. This means if a teacher publishes a project due in 2 weeks, my phone is taken away until I submit it, so they have NO trust in my time management and not having my phone for a few assignments makes them take WAY TOO LONG)
Privacy? What's that. It's been 3 years since my door got taken off. Initially they said it would be off for a semester, which then turned into a year, then when you're 18, and now when I leave for college. Everytime I turn in my phone I close all my apps, and when I get it back, my email, msgs, social media, is all open. Actually recently they must've started closing the apps after they looked at them, and I know they still look at them cuz I looked at my dads phone and he had google translate open for a message I sent someone (I hate them).
Honestly there's alot more I can say but I'm pretty happy I got some of this off my chest. I can't wait for college to start!
