Title: Would this frustrate you?
Post by: lacey107 on March 07, 2013, 05:12:49 am
Hai guise B)
SO far a little while ago, my laptop was took-en away from me by my aunt for 4 days/weeks (forgot) she got her friend Mark to put "AVG Family Safety" thing for my internet so I can't get on certain things (most things that are important to me like mediafire, tinypic/url etc) and removed one of my favorite games called "IMVU." They deleted it and blocked it because when it said "Decorate your avatar!" they thought it was sorcery and witchcraft (They thought of Avatar the last air bender and they think it is sorcery.) I can't get on mediafire, any forums (surprisingly didn't block FH), Online videos (except for you tube and God tube), Entertainment, education, games, technology, and this one got me frustrated the most; Religion. I am like, "......c:  ....>8u" My aunt thought "I needed more discipline because I was getting on 'bad' things." I never got on anything bad 8C. But I do understand it is for my security and stuff. This is seriously frustrating me a lot. Would this frustrate you?

I'm quite sure this would frustrate anyone - I have to be cautious on my computer around my parentals and siblings, mostly because of religious matters - but that's not all of it, it's also their ignorance. It's a pity that people such as those have the power to take something you find important away from you.

By the way, you can always try and remove the "AVG Family Safety" programme. You can google it, or look it up on YouTube. I've got a link here (http://www.avg.com/gb-en/faq.num-4416) which you could try out too.

This is why I secretly hoard our laptop and make sure my account is the only admin so I can delete such things were it to ever happen. c8 *evil little mastermind*

However, my parents never paid no mind. They're more leery about Skype and MSN than anything, which is something that I'll actually need at some point with the way technology is going.

I'm sorry they did that to you 8c It must really suck.

e.e
I'm sorry this happened to you, it seems really horrible!
Luckily, I'm the only one in the family that knows how to use a computer properly so I control what goes on in the computer. XD
If this somehow did happen to me..yes, it would annoy and bug me a lot. cx


But what happened to you is very dreadful. And really? They didn't block anything religious?
No offense, but that's really ignorant. Especially if you're not very religious.

Lols, I already know how to uninstall it, I just don't want to get in trouble. The guy that put the AVG Family Center on my computer also put a program called "LogMeIn" where he also connects with me. I know I could uninstall that too but he can do random checks on me annd if it is uninstalled, he will get VERY suspicious xP but thank you c:

Maybe we're thinking in the wrong direction, aye? Yes, I'm a nerd, but hear me out. Remember Malcolm X and MLK? X's plan was sabotage, but really, he's just proving the majority's opinion they were savages. MLK went with reason, and ultimately ended up doing more. If you want to prove you're responsible, you can't sabotage the program.

I've got two ideas. Number one is:

Perhaps ask your aunt if you can talk. Ask her which sites she doesn't like and her reasons. Don't argue with her, agree with her maybe, and let her finish her spiel. Make her feel good, like you really understand and she has good points. She can't have a fit if you agree with everything.

 Then isolate the more innocent of the bunch (like mediafire) and tell her that everything uploaded has been scanned for viruses and say that you know [insert whatever she had a fit about] is wrong and there's no reason you'd want to get it. Tell her you know why she did it and you're ok with it.

Then wait awhile. Be perfect on the web. Go maybe two, three weeks and ask her if she'd be willing to let you have a little more wriggle room. Tell her you'd though about it and want to test yourself or something.

Basically go with her plan and try to convince her you feel the same, and hopefully she'll let up.

Idea two kinda goes with this metaphore I came up with:
Lets say you have a two year old and a cookie. You tell him he's not allowed to eat it. But the kid's misbehaved before, so you assume he'll eat the cookie, and you glue it to the ceiling. Now, he CAN'T eat it nor can he prove he wouldn't if it was in reach.

Try writing a long, well-though out paper to her explaining in detail what you do online, why, which sites you access. Explain about terms she'd stumble over, like avatar, and tell her what every program is about. You can either go for the emotional angle and say how hurt you are she doesn't trust you; or ask her if, like the cookie story, she'd change to a program to copies your browsing history and you can show her that you never go astray.

And if by accident, you click a bad link, tell her and say you didn't think it would be what it was.


I feel for you, bro. My mom only let me use the computer for a fourth of the time I usually did last year, but I pulled my grades up and removed the ban.
