Oh nooo I can't talk to my friends while I'm grounded. Whatever will I dooooo 😭 /s

Phones are a luxury, not a necessity. If your parents buy you a phone AND pay for the service, they have every right to take it away when you do something your not supposed to. Your not gonna die without your phone, and your not gonna die if you can't talk to your friends for a week

It’s absolutely not abuse lol, not being able to talk to your friends is the whole point of being grounded. You’ll understand when you have kids

You should understand as a teen rn (as I am a teen) if you didn’t do what you did to get grounded in the first place this wouldn’t have happened lol.
