nah girly honestly being brown is hard sometimes icl. my parents are the exact same if not worse and i know the feeling. im not allowed any social media (no snap, no insta, no tiktok, not even bereal) and have had my phone and ipad taken away since the end of dec bc they found out i had snap. and its bullsh*t cos i love socialising and going out too - its literally in my personalty. it feels sh*t cos like u said u are only a teen once and this is the time in ur life where u can mess around and just live those last few years of childhood having fun and being young dumb and risky yk. dw about ur parents they just being brown and honestly the whole brown society is just so toxic and f*cked so dont feel like ur the only one in this situation bc u dont even know how many of us there are out here feeling the same. just fight through and make sure to ask every now and then in case they do let u but if they say no just accept it and wait cos i promise it will be better around uni time x
