There's a huge difference between setting guidelines to encourage careful internet use and abuse- the information we've been given sounds like plain old abuse and there's nothing laudable about that.

I'm glad to hear you've gotten help, DAVID-19. I hear plenty of stories about parents who have bad concepts of what makes good parenting and the first step to making things better is always getting away from your abuser(s).

The world is a hard enough place without your own parents making your life hard. I'm sorry to hear what you've been through DAVID-19, and I can relate more than I would probably like to admit. It's great you've gotten out of the situation and are on track to recovering from what you've been through.

Well, I wont be able to recover completely from my past,
but I`m finally on a good way. It was a hard task to tell
all this things to people who can help me.

DAVID-19: I gotta say, my parents are pretty similar. On the other side of the situation, do you have any advice for me?

If your parents don't even allow discussion,
there is no easy way to go.
You can then only try to get outside help.
For example talking to a teacher or a counseling center,
who will then try to talk to your parents,
where it is probably the case that your parents
will not accept that someone is helping them to
decide about the upbringing of their children ...

Another option is to wait until you are old enough to be
independent of your parents,
which is probably very inappropriate for you.

Hello, I haven't posted anything in a long time.
I had problems with my parents :/
Then they actually resolved, but a few months ago I received a diagnosis of my eye problems. 😭😭😭
I have multiple sclerosis.
and I had an unpleasant time after the diagnosis and I could no longer be active at Cemetech and could only rarely get into programming.
I feel better and am receiving medical treatment. I hope to be able to spend more time with calculators and you here at cemetech again soon!

Oh no!
Hope you feel better. Welcome back!

Oh man, it's like ... my second comeback to this forum
after big live problems in my way ...

I feel so euphoric about doing some BASIC/ICE programming
and hearing about you guys around here again 😃

Glad to have you back! Hope the medical treatment goes well. That sounds pretty tough.

What great news. Hopefully things look up from here. Welcome again, friend!
Side note: I am TuberPhD. Or at least I used to be. Now I'm just TaterTomorrow.

What's important is that there should be no way to trace your Cemetech profile to your IRL self, if you know what I mean.

Oh d*mn it.
I had such enthusiasm and euphoria when I started
programming and posting on this forum again.

But my multiple sclerosis symptoms suddenly got so much worse.
My skin is itching very badly all over. It restricts me so much.
I haven't been able to sleep for weeks.
Sometimes I stand in my bed at night and punch against the
wall to do something other than scratch my skin further.
And because it is the nerves in the skin that are broken,
no cream helps either.
In addition, my brain has become much more forgetful and less focused.
My school performance sucks.
Also my legs have been hurting now for months.
I think I don`t wanna live anymore if this is also due to my multiple
sclerosis and sometimes even restricts my walking more and more.

Sorry, I have to cancel mostly of my calculator things again

My parents are generally poorly versed in all sorts of modern technologies. They really don't know what cemetech is, so they don't forbid me anything.

Hi David, I was wondering how you are going at the moment? Has there been any improvement - we are a mini community so there's no issues hanging out if you're not programming ... there are lots of idlers here including myself who are always good for a chat
