Haha, yeah, my parents are pretty traditional. But they do try to be as understanding as possible. I've kinda given up the debate because they are kinda immature about it and stop talking. But for the most part they respect my beliefs to an extent (at least they haven't refused to let me go over to my friend's houses and such)

Haha, I totally pull that friend from school thing too. Or "she/he is the friend/family member of another one of my friends from school that you have never met and we met each other on the internet." I think my mom will start to wonder "why the hell does my friend have so many friends I never met" though haha

Sadly, my parents CAN'T take away the computer from me unless they want me to fail school. I have so much schoolwork that I can't possibly finish it in school and even in school I can still mess around with computers and the internet. The best thing they can do probably is to monitor me but they are always too busy to do that or fall asleep while watching. The only way I think I can overcome this is probably determination and self-discipline which is really hard P:
