Ok so my parents are just majorly having a total cow over my internet use they think Im doing things Im not. If Im online Im here or googling something stupid or for school. I want to know if anyone elses parents freak out about this place and if they are like "you cant trust anyone" . And what do you tell them to chill them out. Major help needed
Oh hun, I grew up in a house that filtered things like myspace under pornographic. I couldn't get on erowid at home to even do speeches on the bad effects of drugs. It was funny. I just had to deal. Tell them to chilax all you want but parents worry and I have come to accept that they always will. SHow them your search and site histories if they really don't trust you.
i don't even know what my dad thinks im doing. i don't think he knows i come to sites like this and talk to people or whatever since it's my computer it doesn't really matter i guess i just hate when he stands over my shoulder it pisses me off.makes me want to say something but i don't.just"um what?" and usually goes away
i sometimes wonder if my mom comes browsing around on this website...i really hope not, but i guess it wouldnt really matter to me that much. we both have our own computers...just to make sure, hi mom that would suck if i couldnt be on the internet when i wanted...although i do admit that i shouldnt be on as much as i am now
I do whatever I want on the internet whenever I want. Either my dad knows and doesn't care, or he doesn't know. I watch porn, I have a myspace, and I talk to you all here, and I've never told my parents about any of it. They think I'm playing games, which I do actually do spend much time on. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to watch porn anyway? My parents have never been like "Oh your not watching porn are you?". So I'm doing things, and my parents either trust me completely, don't care, or don't see any harm. My dad did preach to me about not giving out personal info before along time ago, but its not like the sex predators are going to come after me, and also I'm not the only person who has their name and hometown on Myspace.
my mom always asks me what i do on the computer, but my dad doesnt really care. he encourages me to go on sites like hipforums and myspace. i guess thats kind of cool. but my dad always had to explain to my mom what these sites actually are when she freaks out on me.
Ok thanks for all the help. what I do online is not acutully that bad. Im here or checking e-mail or stuff for school. Im not in bad places and I ve edited my personal info on here so I think my rents wont freak out as much I think manly they should be on my lil bro he has been on games and chating with random peolpe without the safty net of a site like this. If anyy more pops up to you put it in here it great to know that other people have watchful parents
My mom kicks me off the computer for really ridiculous things. She kicked me off for a month and a half before. She also worries about my computer use(as she sits on the couch watching will and grace?) but.. I'm learning something for the most part, so.. You know.. "stfu mom," etc. And my dad regularly visits the hipforums. hahahaha he's an old hippie tho. so i don't care
Ever since my sister got kidnapped from a guy from the internet, the parents have been very paranoid. I can't talk to people on the phone... Can't go out that much... And I'm not even supposed to be talking to people on the internet, but I somehow got by with that... The computer I use is out in the living room and they pretend not to be watching me constantly, but it's kinda fucking obvious they are.
I think it's very understandable that your folks are being protective. I'm glad your sis is ok but it would be a little strange if your mom & dad weren't a bit paranoid after dealing with something like that. I do hope that you're cutting them some slack since they quite obviously care about you. It would seem that they are trying to give you some freedom but are a little apprehensive about what might happen. It's a tough tightrope for them to walk and I give them credit.
Actually, my parents don't. I'm sure they would if they understood computers and the internet, though. Seriously...neither of my parents care about using computers, and their jobs (well, right now they're both unemployed anyways) don't require them to use a computer. So...they just don't care. It's kinda nice.
