Well this sucks...

Wasn't sure where to put this so I'll put it in here. My mum's only giving me a hour on the computer each day so I'm going to be on a lot less. If anyone cares.

that does something I had thought was impossible, it both sucks and blows, computer time is valuable, use it efficiently, well I've run out of advice for now so... bye.

I'm so sorry; I know how it feels. Last year, from Thanksgiving till Spring of this year, I was banned from using computers. It was horrible; I could no longer talk on the Internet! It was during that time that I secretely joined Lyoko Freak; my dad forgot to password protect the other computer that wasn't mine. Eventually (and by that I mean two days after the computer ban), I managed to hack in because a while before, I made a password recovery disk for my account which allows me to change my password. My parents eventually found out about it. I still remember their shock at my accomplishments... It was funny what my mom said:

Yiding, DON'T CHANGE THE PASSWORD, understand?

Oh yeah, like that's going to work against me using the computer...
A week later, I changed the password again.

Anyway, it could be worse. You could be forced to hack in with the risk of your parents finding out each second it's on.

aww..sorry to hear that...but in a way, I guess your parents want to make sure you do other things as well and not spend all of your time on the computer...mine were the same way when i was younger...

i know how you feel. When we had our desktop computer up my dad made a rule that we were only allowed to have 2 hours of computer time a day. I hated it because if I ignored that rule I got grounded.

my parents were never that extreme..but, hey, be happy that you do get any computer time at all..some time is better than no time.

I used to have (1 hour) "computer time" when i was in junior school (because we had to share a pc) and its not very nice.
I cant give any real advice except for whats already been said "use your time efficently"
I mean, you could always go to bed at 9pm and wake up at 3 in the morning, but I guess thats just me that does that...

Yep, I tried that...and got grounded...

Oi, I know the feeling. x.x; When my parents found out that my sister (who was 11 at the time) was trying to meet and date some guy that lives in Maine...well, Internet time was next to nil. *le sigh*

Took a lot of begging to get the 'Net back, and now she's under tight messenger lockdown.

One hour, though...As the others said, use your time wisely and try to strike a better deal with your parents. x.x;

This may be old but I can't tell you how I feel.

My problem use to be TV. But ever since my computer came I awas on it for the whole day.

So I only get a half hour.

Besides. I have to wake up and do farm work. (I have to wake up at.....4 in the morning) So before they awake I get computer time. About 5 hours worth.

And they still don't know! If they ever wake up.
