We don't have all of the facts. Her grades may be failing due to too much unrestricted computer time. She might be a latchkey kid and the parents can't monitor the usage. I know, it's easy to be pissed off at a parent, but if you ever have kids, you'll see why stuff like this can be needed.

True. In all honesty, I would just disable the internet after one hour. A computer is needed much more than in the past. Internet usage has become quite necessary for many tasks, so restricting internet would still allow usage of word processing, and other programs like Photoshop.

If it's needed for a project or homework, it can be bypassed by a person with the password.

Looking at Cillia's first post.. she's being limited access to her computer altogether not just the internet..

What if you try your mum and suggest you only get 1 hour or Internet.. but still get some time on the computer, doing your own arty stuff?

ive tried talking about it countless times but she just says its still time that im looking at the screen :/ and she says if i want to draw i should use my sketchbook. and if i want to color use my colored pencils or markers...

and i get good grades... As and Bs and now and again Cs... but i get worse grades when my computer time is restricted x.x its not on purpose, i just cant work as well.

So she is doing it for "health" reasons?

To be honest, my eyes has gone worse from teh screen.. esp the period that I was playing Fiesta.. I was concentrating so hard, for so long, for such a short distance.. my short sight got worse...
