Hello VT, long time no see. Anyways, here's the issue:
I live at the very limit of my city, my neighborhood is next to the road which leads to the next city. I don't get along with many people in my neighborhood, most of the people here are major adults and their 3 year old kids, there's just very few amount of teenagers I occassionally meet with.
Now, why am I telling you this? Well, since most of my friends live at the opposite limit and the city next to it, it's not easy to get there, the only solution is someone driving me to there, trust me, cycling won't work, it's WAY too far away. The people here I get a long with are never home or busy, so I rely on my computer to pass most of my time.
My father keeps telling me over and over again I'm spending too much time in my computer, which is true, but, whenever I ask him to take me to a certain friend's house he responds: "No, I'm too busy" or he just does not feel like it.
A few weeks ago he came home mad and told me to get off of there for once, and I told him "Well if you want me to get off of here take me to my friend's house, then I'll leave the computer alone" he said "Alright, I take you whenever you tell me, just leave that computer alone".
A week later I asked him to and he said "NO, I'M TOO BUSY GOD DAMNIT".
About 3 days later I asked again and I got the same answer. I gave up and decided to keep using my computer.
I don't really see what issue he has with me using the computer, but I think it's because he's comparing me with him, when he was my age he used to go to the beach every time (he's told me this himself). But guess what, I live in a fucking desert, the nearest beach is about 6 hours away from my location, if he doesn't want to take me to a friend's house I highly doubt he wants to do that.
His whole childhood was that, the beach. But not me, there's nowhere interesting to go here, it's boring. I can not take the bus either to ANYWHERE, my mother is overprotective and won't let me, that's another issue there.
They are complaining about me using the computer all the time when they themselves are blocking me from going out. It doesn't make any sense!
Why are they complaining about me using the computer?
Is there anything wrong with that?
