My parents have always been really concerned about what I do online, specially when it comes to meeting and talking to other people. It's not only online that's the problem, it's also at college. I've made loads of friends at college and I can't even do anything, meet up with them or go over to their houses without them meeting my parents first, which I don't want because it's incredibly awkward in the first place and it's stopping me from being independent. Another note is they know absolutely nothing about me being gay and I'd prefer to keep that to myself until I get the opportunity to move out by myself. Because of them I've always spent my time at home in my bedroom by myself, we live in a countryside house in the middle of nowhere so I have no easy access to anywhere local besides where I go to college (through the bus). I'm learning to drive later this year (hopefully), so I hope that'll go down well. I've always had problems with them and I'm pretty sure they've always had problems with me, they always switch the internet off at night (and take the plug to bed with them) to get me to go to sleep at night when they do and this stresses me out because it stops me from talking to other people and I don't have the money or a job to have anything like internet access through a mobile phone. In terms of college work, I didn't get the grades at school to go onto the course I wanted to do so I'm coping with going through a mostly boring level 2 art & design course, the problem I am having with this is my parents keep track of the work I'm doing and they always bother me and won't leave me to do it myself and kinda force me to use their ideas instead of my own, which is stopping me from enjoying the course (even though most of it is boring research anyway and nothing practical). My college schedule is a 3 day week (monday, tuesday and friday) and during the days I am off college (including the weekend), my parents treat those days as opportunities to kick me into doing as much college work as possible (without any time to relax) and it just pisses me off because I want to be able to split that time with hobby work and college work at the same time but instead I'm just pushed to do college work or they threaten me with taking my possessions away from me or switching the internet off so I can sit in my bed and be depressed because I'm too discouraged to do anymore work.

Well it's largely my stepdad who bullies me, and is generally absolutely nuts, for example he spies on me through the crack of the door quite a lot, then smirks and says shit under his breath, the worst being him calling me a fucking queer, just because I was using the bathroom (this was the night I came out to my parents, the irony being I hide in the bathroom a lot just to get away from them), he's also forced me to sit downstairs with my laptop, then has gone to get some shopping, parked the car a little away from the house, and spied on me through the window to see what I was doing, there's countless little examples that don't seem like much on their own, but together they really snowball and I honestly believed they are what caused my breakdown several months ago

Some eerie parallels with my parents there, I hate using the internet on my desktop, my stepdad always glances at the screen when he walks past my room, so I always quickly flick over to something I think he can't shout at me for (currently the jobcenter website, used to be some TV show on youtube, but he would shout at me for watching TV on my pc), they always moan about me being so secretive, and they wonder why.
Typing this out reminded me of a couple of months ago when I saw a counselor, who said if I wasn't 18, she'd call child protection :v:

Its insane the types of fanbases certain artists have, almost to a disgusting degree
I.E. recently an artist held an auction to do a 3-page comic short (digital only) where the comic could be about whatever you wanted. The winning bid was seriously something retarded like $1,500, and all the guy wanted was to have his character pretty much show up as a cameo in one of this artist's already existing comic universes for just a short 3 pages. I mean, seriously? You are going to pay close to $1,500 just to have your character show up as a cameo for 3 pages, and its all digital?
It's like these people have high paying jobs and no life ambition or reason to save up for anything so they just blow it all on tiny little art projects that can glorify their character.

Lol gotta love clueless parents who are totally disconnected from reality. Sheltering and cutting off the independence of an adult child you have is just about the worst thing you can do to prepare them for the future.
I'd look into moving on campus or getting college roomies asap. Getting a job will help with this. I am assuming its goign to be difficult though because likely a large reason why you are living with your parents whle going to school is because they are probably covering everything atm. Moving out is scary at first but it's very good life experience and something you need to have comfort with before you graduate (because if things go bad you can always continue your education living with your parents).
Living on your own is very affordable assuming you have roomates. Where I currently live, its a small apartment about 20 minutes away from campus, cost is only about $325/mo including all bills and rent for my share, and this is with only two people. With a third roomate it'd be closer to about $225-240 for bills/rent. This means I can work about 15/20 hours a week at minimum wage and still have about $300 or so left over every month, and have plenty of time for school as well.
I'm lucky because my dad respects independance and supports every decision we make, even if it turns out to be a bad one. He's always there to bail us out if shit hits the fan (like my car's ball joint snapping off while working, and him covering the tow cost while I get my bearings). Of course I guess he sees this as a nessicary duty considering we are pretty much paying for school ourselves and he doesn't have to drop a dime for us so :v: keeping things less stressful for him.
If none of this seems like a possibility consider having a serious talk with them. You are an adult and they should respect that. Of course its their home so it makes sense for them to have the final say in anything that goes on in their house, but they really need to stop doing stuff like wanting to talk to friends before going out with them, they really need to stop turning hte internet off or making you study on weekends at night, etc. None of these things have anything to do with house rules and its only them trying to force some kind of wierd (very damaging) level of restriction on you, when you are a grown adult capable of making your own choices and your own mistakes.
I can see them doing this if you've failed some classes and they are paying (to get it so they don't have to keep paying more), but unless thats the case there's no reason to do that stuff. And there is DEFINATELY not reason to be really awkard by making you introduce all your friends to them.

Firsthand experience of this. Since the last time I spoke of my parents things have progressed further down the downhill spiral. My mum has psychotic rage fits and my dad refuses to take care of her or defend my 14 year old sister who just puts up with my parents alone now that I live at my college.
My dad also has strange paranoia towards any internet exposure to my sister and over winter break I noticed a lot of sites were blocked by the router, including most social networking websites ie Facebook.
My mum still thinks I'm straight and a practicing Catholic :v: she demands I call her once a day to talk for an hour and if that doesn't happen she has a fit and thinks I've been abducted or killed. Really.
College really has been a rewarding experience in terms of freedom; it feels so good to have broken out of that house after staying in it for so long...

Thanks for the info, my parents first lost a lot of respect in me during the last year of school when I failed to revise for my exams because I couldn't deal with it and came out with bad results (preventing me going onto the college course I wanted to take). One of the big problems I've had with my parents is the fact that I was apparently diagnosed with autism with I was around 13 years old and since then they've been making a huge deal out of it and it's preventing me from being independent and they think I need all the support I can get to be able to cope with the outside world (aka. anywhere that isn't my bedroom). I've never labelled myself as autistic and for all that I know they could be wrong and they're just over-reacting, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself if I was educated about getting a job, having a bank account and being able to cook for myself and eating healthily. I've never had the opportunity for any of this throughout my life and they've left it too late, I'm old enough to be able to take care of myself and I can't because I'm not prepared (if that makes sense!). Nearly everything outside the house requires money, which I don't have and the first thing I'd do is go and look for a job, I have no idea why my parents haven't supported me in looking for an appropriate job that I'd enjoy. At the moment my parents are dealing with paying for college and I'm pretty sure there's other things in my life they're dealing with paying for too, I have a little sister who also lives in the house that they have to deal with which doesn't help. A lot of the time I've been hoping as time goes on and I get through college I'll hopefully have a job by the end of the year, specially after I've taken driving lessons, the most important thing I'm finding though is jobs and being able to drive would most certainly help that. My life is a mess and working on putting everything in place hasn't been easy! I've been wishing I could be the one paying for everything for myself and not my parents, that would make me feel so much happier because I know I'm the one taking care of everything and not someone else.
I thought I had a sorta strict parents before I came to this thread.
My dad doesnt really give a fuck. Just tells me not to bring police back to our door.
Mum just wants to know where I'm going and with who lol..
my mum is generally overprotective. Thinks i cant look after myself, and to top it all off, she has no regard for my privacy, just barges into my room without knocking. Also she wont let me have a computer/TV/most things electronic in my bedroom as it is "Unhealthy for you".
Dad is kinda strict, but i dont live with him, and if he tells me to do anything i just tell him to fuck off most of the time.

I'm pretty obedient
My mums literally knocked me off my feet with a punch before (I was about 15)... we got in an argument about a year ago and she said she'd get dad to do the same (I'm 6 foot 98kg, with some fat, dads about 6"2 110, of muscle lol)
My parents knock but then just come in anyway.
Like, you're supposed to wait for me to say come in before you come in. That's how knocking on a door works. Why even bother knocking if you're not gonna wait for me to let you in? I could be doing fucking anything in here.
UGH.

Do you live in Asia? I never heard of a door like that.
I'm not really culturally embraced, meaning I know little about other cultures.
I remember that my parents used to disregard my privacy, but then they learned the error of their ways by discovering horrors not meant for their minds (several times). After that, they began to knock and wait until I open the door.
