NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES CHALLENGE

It's summer break, and no parents expect their children to spend all day sticking their eyes on screens playing video games and binge watching. I tried extremely hard to reduce the daily use of electronic devices, but nothing seems to be effective because I have too much future-related stuff to do on my devices such as referring YouTube tutorials, practicing guitar on Yousician, taking Instagram pictures, and basically, living my life. My parents are huge elitists and always require absolute obedience from me, so the relationship between me and my parents is kinda uncomfy. I never show them what I actually did; I always lie to trade for a tiny bit of peace, but every way is chocking because they never knew the truth! So hard to live in conflict and deception lately.

I hate summer, the most uninspiring season of the year, for me. My laziness started to grow like a limp in my soul, so I am never willing to do excessive chores for my parents. They called me a useless, limited, stupid child because I do chores in the most carelessly, and I used to this since I was a 3 years old kid. Mom becomes more skeptic about what I was doing in my bedroom, and I hate it. Although my mental health is strong, she always pull me into panic whenever she spontaneously jam into my room. I lost control and close my laptop right the way, or in a safer way, close the tab I am currently working on and rapidly switch to a "studying" tab. I am caught most of the time, and my electronic devices are all confiscated! This means: no music, no movies, no communication with a few number of long loving friends, no dictionary, no Deustch learning, no guitar practice, no job opportunities, and no life!

Their is a huge chance that I have a normal dad and a strict mom.

At this time, I only have 2 hours a day using electronic devices with parents permission. 2 hours cannot be long enough to download a movie, which takes 4 hours to complete, so I decide to finish my 16 entries for this blog. On the first day of the no electronic devices challenge, I almost died of boredom, even though I had a bunch of book to read, a bunch of art ideas to execute, and a bunch of board games to jam with. I hate my independence which leads to my shortage of money, so even I want to hang out in the neighborhood and go shopping, it will remain insipid as staying at home. So sad. On the second day, I begged my mom for some "money for breakfast"; she gave me some, plus my own fund, and I have enough money to buy a decent 16GB Kingston USB which can be plugged in my TV. I imported a bunch of music and illegal fake Just Dance video games into my new USB. Therefore, I can fake play high quality video game all day.

It has been 3 weeks since my electronic devices where took away. But my days are still boring. It could only be fun with many friends and camping activities like in the last 2 days of Step Up camp. I spend time on good paper books which I also have a pdf version inside my devices. Such an indulgent waste of money. I see no benefit doing this obligated challenge, but parents are too blind to see it. They only hope for better behavior and the decrease of my stupidity that they made up from their despite. Hope this soon end.
