My Parents Cut My Internet :'(

aww =[

 

sucks....

 

Can you maybe agree to limit the time you spend online, rather than have it cut altogether?

 

I agree with Jim. Try to get them to compromise Spiky! Share with them your feelings on what this does to you. Frankly, I would want my kids accessing the internet in my home instead of sneaking out somewhere to do it. I'm so sorry.

 

Your school actually specifically blocks EC? That seems... odd. Bet you could court-challenge it if you were so inclined, you being in the States. I bet the ACLU would LOVE that case.

 

Yes, last year at school a GLBT forum was blocked because my friend Johanna was on it. Some teacher saw her on it, and asked what it was, and she said that it was personal and she'd rather not discuss it, so they blocked it.

I'm sorry Spikey, I hope you can compromise with them, and if they won't listen then I hope they don't keep it cut for long.

 

Damn that sucks so much Spikey, we've lost two great people now.

Hope to see ya every now and then though.

 

Awwwwwwwwwww(*hug*) We'l miss u:icon_bigg ,luckily my parents cant do that to me

 

Too young for love? That's stupid. Does she think you will become so infatuated with someone that you can't manage school? You've put up some great posts. Hope you can still keep visiting.

 

Try with Portable Firefox from school (www.portableapps.com) You can always delete it after you use it, and no traces.

 

Love is for everyone. You can not be too young to love. I hope you are able to stay on the internet

 

Hi Baby People r Right Have Ur Parents Tell You How Much Time You Have And Then Concentrate on Other Things (Like Your Dreams & Me) ILY -BB

 

That really sucks, I saw your myspace bulletin. Try comprimising with your folks about internet use, because there is a lot of school work that you need internet for.

 

Oh, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They cut your cell phone and now they want to cut internet!? That is just insane!!!!!
Tell her that you need internet to communicate to your friends. And maybe limit the time per day or per week sounds good compromise. But if she said no and cut your internet then maybe you can ask your friends to let you use their computer when you are at their house??

We'll miss you so much:tears: :tears:

 

That is so terrible :bang: :bang: :bang: . How can people be so ignorant and heartless. Tell them that this will cut you off from the educational world too. How is that supposed to help you with finishing High School? And cutting you off from your friends is about the worst thing a parent can possibly do.

In simple terms, tell her she can't care very much about you if she wants to cut you lifeline to education and deny you your friends.

Get the library to unblock EC. It shouldn't be blocked in the first place. This isn't exactly a porn site or anything close. A trusted teacher ought to be able to help. Another option is Internet Cafe but could get expensive.

Hope you can talk sense into your mom or maybe your dad can put his foot down to help you. We're pulling for you (*hug*)

 

Unfortunately (and I'm saying this from Australian school experience) school's have the right to block information that doesn't directly link with, or help study a particular subject. This is why some schools block sites such as Myspace - since they're deemed as "time wasters" and only increase the cost for the school to run the internet.

On the other hand, if you were doing an assignment on GLBT rights or something similar, you could argue that a vital resource is being blocked by the school and hindering you from doing your assignment. However, you'd need proof that you actually are doing the assignment.

That being said - it would definitely be worth challenging them as to why the website is blocked; perhaps having a teacher convince your IT department that the site is vital to have unblocked etc.

 

This sucks! It seems to me that your mother is less interested in being loving and more interested in cutting off your contact with the outside world. So are your dad and sister supposed to cancel the internet subscription, or are they just cutting the connection to your room? If they're just "not allowing" you to use it, honestly, I'd just keep using it. I will restate that. If there is internet connectivity in your house, continue using the internet, and DO NOT back down on this.

Having had a number of friends in comparable circumstances, from my vantage point this is little more than your mother disagreeing with the fact that you're growing up and away from her influence, and is attempting to use her motherly authority to cut you off from the outside world in the hopes of getting "her little boy" back. And you know what? I've watched it fail every time. All it does is drives a larger wedge between child and parent, and in the case of one of my friends, his mother got bad enough that he didn't speak to her for over three years.

I will assert that part of it is that, in these cases of an overbearing mother, the child is unwilling or scared to resist, and in my experience, resistance is the only way to overcome stuff like this. I've always been a very independent person, and so it just pisses me off to see or hear about shit like this. "The GLBT forums made you gayer?!?" Honest to God, what a load of fucking shit! I'd say you've always been this gay and are just hiding it less.

But hey man, I hope you can keep coming around and chatting with us and stuff, but if not, I'm really gonna miss you. (&&&) :tears:

 

That suck"ed" bud. If I could I would pay for you're Internet so you could go on whenever you wanted and not have a time limit.
