Date: 2010-07-09 05:13 pm (UTC)As for your parents... my parents are like that, too. If they know that I have an LJ and that I'm pretty open about my life, they'll freak. I'm not exactly sure how to get around this, either. I know it's not nice to hide people who are important to you and it's really a dilemma. I'm not going to suggest this, but this is what I do with my parents. I tell them that I have a "friend from school", and when they ask for the friend's name, I just tell them what their names are. When they're ready (if they'll ever get ready...) I'll probably tell them the truth. @_@ It IS technically lying so I wouldn't suggest doing it, but... well.
Listening to you, I'm getting the impression that your parents are pretty traditional parents. Yeahhh, it's very frustrating when they just dismiss your opinion, especially when the reasons are "we know better than you" or "you're still too young". Maybe the next time they impose their opinions to you, you can ask them why and have a discussion or debate or the like. It usually ends with a fight every time I do that, but if you're clear-headed and you really want them to listen to you, it probably won't. Or you could pull the whole "whatever my opinion is my opinion and that is final" thing on them, because really, your opinion IS yours and that is final! /brick'd
I'm sorry I'm not much help. But good luck! ♥

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:

Ohhh. You're taking the IB, yes? That makes the whole no computer thing impossible because you really need it. Essays, research and stuff. Yeah, I've been there. @_@ Okay, let's see... how about turning off the internet immediately after you finish using it? Or use the whole reward system, I suppose. Like... "do two hours of work and I'll get 15 minutes of browsing" and actually stick to it. XD
