Are my rights being violated?


I am 22 years old, Ive worked EMS for 4 years now and I currently live with my parents while funneling what revenue i can towards college. To that end my parents allow me to remain on their phone plan.

The phone plan has an excessively strict web guard that prevents access to any forum, networking, job searching, gaming, social, browser access to YouTube, etc. Sites that can be researched are limited to email and mobile version of YouTube. The web guard is through T-Mobile and is intended for users under 18. When I asked why I couldnt access sites such as Barnes and Nobles and Books a Million I was told they were not going to negotiate restrictions or come down on their morals.

To be clear, I am not someone who has malicious intent and if I did I probably would be smart enough to get my own plan.

I do feel that they would try to prevent me from getting my own phone plan which is where the question comes in. How much control does a parent have over their childs life at this age? I am not intending this to sound rebellious or whiney but when I cant even make a linkedin page for career advancement because its supposedly immoral I cant help but feel like Im being wronged here.

I do not wish to disrespect or dishonor my parents in any way and i am truly grateful for the help that they provide. Any advice is apreciated.

Learning Japanese easily?


I am an above-average intelligence for a 14-year-old and I was hoping to learn Japanese. Japanese is a quite challenging language. I would like to learn it to be able to understand the animes I watch without subs (I think it would be fun) and it would be useful to learn at this age instead of later on, in case I need to use it later in life. I have tons of time on my hands and I thought, "Why not do something useful with it?' I tried watching non-subbed anime I was unfamiliar with but that did nothing, as I don't know anything about the language. I'm American, and I don't know anyone who fluently speaks the language. My friend also wants to learn the language so I was thinking we could collaborate and speak to each other in Japanese when we can, try to write it, and so on. Are there any alternative ways to learn that we could use to up our knowledge? For example, how does the grammar work? The letters? Might there be some workbooks at a Barnes and Nobles? I would look for something not too terrifyingly hard, as I do have ADHD and will not be able to focus for long amounts of time. Are there strategies to use so I won't have to focus a bunch, or just soak it in? If not, I'll be open to it anyways! Thanks! :)
Added (1). I realize my grammar was incorrect in the first sentence. *have

I think I fell in love today?


so don't get me wrong, I aint no fruit. I'm a very fit 19 year old college kid and usually am pretty good with the girls. Buttttttt… This girl at Barnes and Noble today.
So I'm an avid Stephen King reader, and I was there studying today and doing my homework, on my way out I picked up Stephen's latest novel and went to check out.
the girl that was checking me out was pretty cute, and she was all like "OMG I love Stephen King" and we started talking about his books and stuff. Totally hit it off.
When we made eye contact it was like woah, total chem between us. She asked for my name and got hers, but I didn't ask for her number because, I know I uncomfortable it is being hit on and stuff when I'm at work.
Anyways I told her study there a lot and I'd definable be seeing her around, and she was all like "OMG awesomeness." (in more proffessional words.) so yeah. Like usually I'm not nervous about girls, but something about her has me all funny feeling haha.
so yeah, like. Advice? Am I in love? Or am I just like ecstatic to meet a cute girl with a lot of similar interests?

Should I buy an Ereader?


Hi there! I wondering if I should buy an ereader.
I don't have problems reading on screens (though I prefer physically holding books as I read). The thing is, my house isn't a library and I can't fit all my books in my room anymore (I even had to stuff them in my closet).
Can you give me facts that I need to know about ereaders? Cuz I plan on buying one.

And I've always been wondering, if you ever bought an eBook online and saved it in your ereader, what would happen if you accidentally deleted it? And what if you don't have any more memory space to fit All the books that you've downloaded? Will you delete it and end up wasting your money on buying it?

Job application: Typed or Written?

I am applying for Barnes and Noble, and they dont have an online application, you have to print one up and turn it in.

I am a male with crappy handwriting (shocking) so I'd rather just type in the info right into the pdf and then print it out. As an employer do you look down to typed out info and wish it to be hand written, or does it not really matter?

What's wrong with being a Satanist or being interested in it?


Again, people please dont bash me, Im only curious. Thank you for anyone who answers my qyestion.

Okay so, I've recently got interested in Satanism, and Im actually seriously even considering maybe being a Satanist. I told my parents this and they told me to never tell anyone about it. But why? Why can't I just openly say Im a Satanist or that I'm interested in it? I dont understand why it's so taboo, if I told someone Im a Buddhist or Catholic they would have no problem but if I told someone Im a Satanist there would be a problem. Satanism is basically just atheism so there should be no problem right?

Also, I want to order The Satanic Bible online since I highly doubt it'll be in any regular bookstore, but my parents told me that I should but the book with cash and in person because other wise I would get flagged or something by the government. Is this true? Can I not really order the book online? And if I can't order the book online does anyone know where I can get a copy in a person?

By the way, Im only 14 so please dont think Im dumb for asking these qquestions. But Thank you again.

Engineering after IT?


I really want to get into an electronic engineering undergraduate program but I can't afford the tuition fees and I've searched every nook and corner for scholarships but to no avail. So I was thinking of doing a cheaper IT course, get a good job, save up some cash and then do an engineering course. Is that plausible? Can anyone give me a better advice? Oh and I really need to stabilize my financial condition so I need to study at least something right now, to get a good job.
Thanks.
