Banned from Having Fun

It appears that my parents have finally cracked and have withdrawn their support on me drawing. They have also banned my brother from using his computer.

The cause? “It’s destroying your brains and filling them with mindless crap. You need to study more and read more books.” Really, they were talking to my brother and his video games since his grades are beginning to slip into B- territory. But being the loving and rational parents they are, they warped it right back to me.

Starting today, I’m practically banned from using my tablet, and would be forced to retire unless I drew in secret. Even on weekends, they will remain hostile towards me. They want all of my free time to be used on studying for school. (Like I have a fucking quiz everyday.)

Now, it could be that they’re just extremely pissed off right now and will actually think about it later. I hope that this is the case.
