Strict parents

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has super strict parents. Like I’m not allowed my phone upstairs and can’t go on my phone past 9:30pm, not allowed out with my friends and my screen time is legit 2 hours throughout the whole day and they say I stay on it a lot.....

Any advice

how old are you?

yeah how old are you before we comment.

My parents were stricter when I was younger, but not so much anymore. How old are you? The acceptability of this depends on your age.

Do what they say.

You actually having a phone is generous in their part.

2 hours per day on a phone is also very generous. It would be better for your development if you cut it down to 5 minutes per day maximum.

During non coronavirus times, you see your friends for several hourse per day, 5 days a week at school.

It's common for promising 16 year olds to go off the rails because they fall in with the wrong set of friends and drop out of school.

When you are 18 and have left home for uni, or for work, you can do what you want. Although if you continue most of the good habits your parents have forced on you, you'll do well. The only big habit to change would be to have a very active social life on top of taking your studies or work seriously.

I asked if I can go out and they said not til it 20 💀

I try but it turns to lecture all they care about is my education because they want me to be a doctor I don’t even want to be a doctor 😭

20:00 hours? 8 PM?

When you are 18 and are living away from the parental home, you can legally, morally, ethically and physically go out at any time that you want and stay out as long as you want.

And please do exercise your right to do this - in due course - as it will be good for your development as a person.

You have the makings of a great adult if you can do what your parents tell you to now, you can cut your phone usage down to 5 minutes per day, and you move away from home after your A levels and then have an active social life on top of a professional studying and working life.

The day that I left home to go to uni was the joint happiest of my life. I think that day will be the same for you.
In the meantime enjoy the next 2 years as much as you can and work like a dog for your A levels.

They want me to go to uni here I won’t be able to leave 😔
