Today, I was going to get on the internet, and then this it wouldn't let me on, unti I put down billing method, name, accepting argrement to hold responsibility for account holder, etc. and I didn't know the answers to some of those questions, so I got my dad to put them in. Then when I was able to get on, he checked all of my e-mails, asked me if I was doing anything wrong or illegal on the internet, and then finally went away.

I didn't do anything, and he immeadietly thinks it's my fault! I know he's going to be checking the websites I go to, and the e-mails, and it's making me extremely uncomfortable!

What the heck do I do?


You like the finer things in life, so naturally
you're the cheesecake. You always ontop of
things, smooth, and a little bit pushy.


What kind of cake are you?

Something you do NOT want to hear from Kenshin during battle:
"Can we pause? I need to insert my amber contacts."

Was that message from Net54 saying that if you don't subscribe to it that you'll soon be unable to access this board? I get that one from time to time. I registered but I'm not going to pay if it comes down to that. I found that the message only comes up from time to time and just pressing RELOAD gets rid of it.

As far as your dad watching what you do goes, I guess this depends on how old you are and what your level of trust and responsibility in your family you have. My kids are young (9 and 11) and they are reminded often that we know everything that they do on the computer - including the internet. They aren't allowed on either unless they ask. They have to tell us about the e-mails that they get, even though we routinely check their accounts to clear them of the junk that finds its way to them. We remind them that their use of the computer and internet is completely at our (parents) discression.

However, as they have gotten older and their level of trust and responsibility in the family increases, so does their freedom. We no longer require that we are in the same room as them when on the net. But they aren't allowed to have the door closed and we still check on what they are doing. They know where they aren't allowed to go and they know to get us when pop-ups or other messages ask for information.

Your situation, SBF, is obviously a little different, but having your dad have to provide credit information to get onto a site would definately send up a red flag for him that he should be a little more watchful.

It's hard to be a teenager. You are just years away from being a (legal) adult, and you want your freedom and privacy. Unfortunately, society and the law often hold the parent's responsible for your actions. That's why we always seem so bent on keeping our kids reigned in and restrict what they do. It's mostly out of love, but there's also the cold reality of life to worry about as well.



Dad-Eye,

i think you should just let your dad whatch you on the computer

Dad-Eye's right but this is what I would do:

If I was in your situation, I would, if my mom, or dad, punished me, I would tell them that I'm not doing anything illegal and stand by what I said, I would tell them they would regret it.

I know it's not real helpful, but this is what I would do and, well, yah.

Just let them check. As long as you aren't doing anything illegil, or looking at porn, you have nothing to worry about.
