2022-01-26 14:44:42 UTC My parents have stopped me and my siblings from using our devices past 5:30pm because they apparently “destroy our eyesight” despite them having no real effect on us and our lacking vision clearly being hereditary for some reason (i.e all 4 of us have or will have shit eyesight). This dumb phone thing was apparently preached by my brother’s optician, but my parents were really the ones who took it to the extreme. The problem is that I can’t handle confronting them because of emotionally abusive stuff they’ve done before, and it’s not as though they’d listen to what I have to say, especially not my father who’s the worst out of the two of them. It doesn’t help that we’ve got 6 hours of school and only 2 hours to ourselves, which is the really shitty part. It’s not as though I’m here all too often, or that this is anything interesting, but this is just me sharing my own current circumstances. It’s pretty bad, I’m sure you can tell. So, any plans I have now will be drastically slowed indefinitely.
I’ll let you know about any updates I have, but powerlessness feels like shit

Hehe, my screen limit is just 6 hours, after that it switches off automatically, 4 hours goes in online classes as my country has lockdown again, and I do a hour of SN and another hour of YouTube and stuff, pain

Hope things get better for u man
(I dont have anything to relate to u so this all I’m saying)
Sorry to hear that, sometimes the best way to win against parents is to let it be, at least until they lose interest in it which usually takes a week or more then ask again but back it up with some kind of factual evidence.
It’s silly because if we all stopped anytime our health was at risk we would be doing basically nothing, even if it has an impact to eyesight it’s not like it’s a big one.
From when I went to an optician recently she said there’s a sort of rule where every so often you give your eyes a rest. If you are literally staring at a screen endlessly then just have breaks from time to time, that should be it.
Anyways good luck in whatever you might attempt to get back your privileges.
dang.
i am a very emotional kid and whenever i talk to my parents about something extreme i cant handle it. what always works for me is writing it to them via email or text message, most of the time it works and they will come in person and talk to me softly. mainly because i always say “the reason I’m writing to you is because i always have a hard time talking to you in person as its very hard to keep in your raised voice and offensive things you say” because sometimes people don’t realise when they are hurting another feelings so if you shed some light on it they will make sure they comfort their kid
But i get your parents arent mine so it might not work, but give it a try if you feel like it
We hope it gets better , sad to see a legendary user of a people be restricted to such an extent
Hope it gets better
Well shit
Fuck those guys
That sucks, good luck with whatever happens tho. Stay safe.
Yeah being powerless in this kind of situation is shitty.
I’d want to give advice but people like Lucky are on this site and I don’t want them to know any solutions of mine yet. As a bonus, I don’t know if my advice could backfire or not.
because they apparently \”destroy our eyesight\”
