Wow! That's insane to me. I feel bad for parents these days. A dude I work with who has a teenage son told me his son has a full on nervous breakdown every time he takes the phone away for a period of time, like temper tantrum style. I can safely say when I was in high school, if I was allowed to make "good choices for myself", I'd have been a full time donut eating, irc'ing recluse who never socialized and didn't know what exercise is. As it was I was already half of that despite the best efforts of my mother, who at the time I hated, and in retrospect I'm very grateful for. Wasn't easy for my mom with the internet becoming a thing in the 90s and me being an internet addict, but she did her best... I cannot imagine what it's like for parents today, I do genuinely feel for them. Good luck to you, seems like you're looking out for your kid, so kudos.
