i feel this in my bones. my mom thinks like this person’s parents.

The dog isn't the one who'll be picking out their nursing home.

Amen. Killing and threatening to kill my pets, loved ones, my animal friends does not motivate me to follow ur rules.

Pets are only to be removed if the kid is unable or unwilling to care for them. Contact with friends and family is only to be limited or eliminated if those friends or family are engaged in risky or dangerous behavior. Access to things like toys can be limited, but there should always be clear rules as to what the kid needs to do to gain access, and those rules should be age appropriate.

Some parents should never BE parents.

I was not even allowed to have friends! So I can relate to this kid.

My dad used to threaten to send me away on a boat to the middle of the pacific ocean

Aww poor kid! I understand why there's a need for therapy... but it should be the parents who got therapy. Not this kid.

WHY DONT OUR GUARDIANS UNDERSTAND THAT!?!?!?

You need to contact DCF or child welfare in your area. You are being threatened. What your parents are doing is illegal. Seek out DCF, find a counselor, also talk to a neighbor or relative you can trust. If they do murder a pet in front of you, get on your bike or walk directly to the police station, if this is not feasible, call 911

How Sad & Brainwashing is it that Parents does ; The Take Away & Threatening of killing animals??!!! I really do understand Why kids grow up with so much anger & hate in their hearts,that They sometimes commit some serious & really crue meaningless crimes …. Caus’ They have learned it from Them Who Should Love & Proect Them. Against Cruelness & Hurtfull People… Against Evil & Pain… Their Own Parents!!!! I’m so Sorry for U Kids! 🙏🏻♥️

My very own mother took my f*****g books and stuffed toys away because idk she felt like she couldn't control me or something.

Not to mention it doesn't actually solve any problems... If I'm struggling with homework because I can't understand the problems or concentrate on them, how is taking away my phone at all related to that? I guess some people with kids just don't want to be parents...

Yeah, this ones a little to vague for me , what are the actual circumstances, what is all?Sometimes not taking away let's say a BB gun when misused leads to more serious behaviour.

No, little one, you have confused à "right" with a "privelege". Your electronic devices were taken away from you because you won't do what is expected of you in a family, and some day, you'll get a job and refuse to do the least expected of you and you'll get fired, but complain that it was unfair.

I don't know, taking the phone, computer, headphones,, baseball practice-works pretty well here. All of those are distractions from schoolwork. So yes, if you are not doing your best you will lose them. (Two weeks of having to do homework without these at the kitchen table for 2 hours has already brought his grades up). It was that or reduced time for baseball (his choice).

for the past year I have been stuggling to make my parents understand this as well.

Oof... sounds like how I felt with my mom growing up. I try hard now not to be that parent, but should and will actively check in with each of my kids after school today.

But when the kid gets a phone, the parents will freak out about it whenever he/she/they/ are on it.

Hits hard.

6 years old and they don't say goodnight anymore ... I don't know why this one in particular stuck out to me, but I find it very telling about how much the parents care. Poor kid :-(

Teens should get some independence, it should not be either a whooping whenever the kid has an opinion or helicopter parents.

So true, especially for an oldest or only child

i want to hug this kid and tell them it isn’t their fault. i was raised like this and it’s very detrimental to the rest of your life

This hots me hard

I'm so sorry kid. I can relate

this breaks my heart
