So, I'm not putting this in the Spam Zone since I don't really consider it spam, and not in the Departure lobby, since I'm not technically leaving, but if you guys feel you need to move it, go ahead. Anyway, what I'm about to say really sucks, but it seems I won't be on here nearly as much as I am now. By that I mean, I won't be on here except for about 2 or 3 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays, and maybe even none during the rest of the week. Apparently because of that worm virus my dad doesn't seem to trust any site I went to before. This means he's keeping me from here, youtube, dA, and other places. He only wants us to use sites he knows are fine, like google and hotmail. I really hate this, since this place is one of the few I can actually have a little enjoyment. Sure it's just posting, but even still. I think I'll have to quit all the RPs I'm in, and I don't know how many chorus's I'll be able to do now. I really wanted to keep going, but my dad figures that "we don't know how safe the site is, and if anything will come from it"(that's from my dad). I tried explaining that things are basically fine here, but he just won't listen, and my mom's not any better. This really sucks you know. Last night I was actually tearing up because I didn't want to stop coming here. I can't even work on my story now, even though I have plenty of time, since this is just too depressing. What exactly do you guys think I should do? I'll only be able to check this site around 30 min or so today once I leave, so I guess you don't have to do too much. Edit: Oh yeah, if you want to talk or anything, you can use the MSN email I have on my account. Or you could add me on your MSN chat(would certainly give me a reason to use it). Not sure if you would, but it's in case you feel like it. If you can't see my email, it's kingdomheartsf@hotmail.com
I'm going to be frank. If he doesn't trust these sites, he's not very educated as far as the digital world goes. Ask him how he could possibly believe that YouTube and devianArt are sites that cause harm? YouTube: one of the World's largest sites. DevianArt is one of (actually, probably the) biggest artwork sites there are... Gah, I hate it when parents with internet-ignorance make their kids not go to pages.
well, he's just being careful. We already have one computer messed up by the same type of virus, and he doesn't want to take any sort of chance with this. I asked him last night, and well, he said "I think we should keep off all the sites we are not sure of." I think he's just weary of all the sites we were on before the virus because it might have been one of those. My mom's the really annoying one. SHe thinks that the moment I get on a site that my dad doesn't want me one, she calls it "junk" and also flips her lid.
My point is; who can be unsure of YouTube/devianArt? I can somewhat understand KH-Vids, except there are active mods and admins here controlling what is posted and not.
I tried to tell him that, but he's just a person who doesn't want to take any chances. I'm really the only person in my family that takes the chance to understand if a site is safe or not. But I just hate that they think something like this site is bad. I still wish I had a laptop or something. Then I wouldn't be so restricted. It's going to be really boring now. I know I've been bad at getting school work done, but now this is just going to make me even more bored, and that makes it harder for me to do school. This is ridiculous. I tried telling my dad what dA was, but when he heard he was like "so you're downloading files?" I tried telling him what it was, but he just wouldn't listen.
