This toy phone shit is wild man at 17, I thought my friends parents were crazy for keeping screen time limits that far
I had a nokia until recently I got an iphon 5 with a fucking martial law on it (heavy parental controls)
at least you got a real phone
my ass legit stuck with the gen alpha version of this fucking thing:
if you hav a SIM card you can just buy some garbage phone that at least has music and use it, while you take the shitty one out when ur mom is lookin
I realise how lucky I am every day man, I thought the mere threat of having time limits imposed on me was bad. Hope your intervention goes well
huh?
Yeah man, you just put your sim card in the normal phon, you can buy an used one in usable state for like 50$
who’s selling a smartphone for 50$ bro that’s some dinky ass hauwei cracked screen low storage type beat 
you dont know the heaven of hauwei compared to that cheap ass toy phone
All good until
Trust me, even if you are the top of the whole school, they still won’t buy you a phone lol. (first-hand experience, and now they’re telling me that they will remove my computer if my grades ever drop😭, and I am now on my graduating years.)
Also, my parents are like urs but more grade “oriented”.
how are you allowed to play video games and be on the forums then?
-somehow I get curfews through using a PC that my grandfather bought me, which technically makes it my property but because my mom is so old-school and disrespectful of my boundaries she acts like it’s hers
-school chromebook bypassing, don’t tell non 
you would not believe the argument my mom’s fiance just used against me bro…
“you can even use this phone when you’re 90”
I’m living in a world with actual NPCs…

i really do not know what to say for you man
here’s what you can do
if my words aren’t listened to alone, then maybe someone could write up a good list of reasons and arguments as to why a REGULAR phone is what I NEED to function in society and not a Fisher price chatterbox that can text people (but it probably censors swear words or other weird triggers so even texting is miserable)
Say what if you’re in an emergency and need to search up life saving information
(idk like if (x) thing is poisonous if you go camping or sum)
- what if you need the internet for information/education
STILL BETTER than what u have now mann
you guys are gonna need to make a much bigger document if you want to convince them of anything.
like, the ultimate foolproof “every reason why a fake toy phone is bad and why a genuine phone is good”
