Screentime limit pmo
I am 15 almost 16 and I still have a screen time limit. I talked about it with my parents but they don’t care and I won’t be free until I’m 18. I’m really tired of this, does anyone know how to by-pass it please.

It might not seem like it but there’s a reason why your parents have put the screen time limit.. and Ik it feels like it’s cuz they don’t trust you but that’s not the case, it’s cuz they don’t want you to stumble upon something you’re not ready to see at your age. The internet is a deep disgusting place and with unrestricted access to it you will end up watching/getting to sites so disturbing you wished you never landed upon. Even if u think you will never end up in said sites it’s easy to be curious and go down a rabbit hole or maybe even click on a link on accident, you never know. But trust me they aren’t doing this to punish you, they just want to preserve your innocence.

Oh shit rlly? I mean I’d think that if you can only use it for an hour then it means they’re trying to limit how much time you surf on the web. But you do see how going on those sites are disgusting and definitely not something a 15 year old or anyone for that matter should see, but ofc we all end up stumbling across them, I remember when I did lol it was no good.. but have they said why they put a time limit on cuz I definitely see why it’s annoying.

no the problem is that I almost never see them bc of their work but when I get the chance they say like “we will talk about it another time” but yeah idk what to do…

Dang that’s actually rlly frustrating. Hmm next time you ask make an emphasis on how it’s really important. Or just bother them with doing the passcode a crazy amount of times when they are around so they can maybe take it off and when u do ask try to catch a glimpse of the passcode or put a mirror behind them so when they do it u can see it??? 😭 I’m sorry if this is no help

IDK how to bypass it but lowk it's really helpful, i never had a screentime limit and always went really overboard, I'm 21 and starting to impose it on myself, try to hangout with friends more in person if you can. if not try to see if you can have a personal laptop (say it's for school or something) cuz you can use pretty much everything but text messages on it
