I am on the radar or something.. Where I live.. like the entire community college and all of it's students and teachers.. are spies..
If I ditch class and go to the liquor department.. the cashier at the liquor store will totally wail on me to the professor of the class I am in.. like this ENTIRE community is being told to keep their eyes on me for irresponsible nature.. Idk.. I guess it's just because I am antisocial that I am afraid of everyone knowing what I do.. but it freaks me out... all these overly concerned parents.. who have this gigantic network of people.. that can tell them where their friends are.. and what they are doing..
I have been reluctant to get an iphone.. because of the location device that tells the police where you are.. now I do.. and am unsure about having it.. and well this on top of other stuff.. What type of people get the cashiers to be on the look out for the kids that ditch class and are irresponsible? I'd understand if it was just a one time thing but.. there seems to be a network of people.. that do this on a daily basis.. Ugh.. if I were a store clerk I'd mind my own business.. and not talk to people.. call me uncaring.. but that is what I like, not caring.. keeping a tunnel vision towards my own interests.. It's so uncomfortable.. My ego feels hurt.. in many aspects..
Idk I am given an opportunity to move.. and I want to take it. Move out of state.. and stuff.. I don't like the closeness of people here.
It's okay. Go summon the NSA!
Besides, I don't have a smart device either. Just a computer. My siblings have smart devices and my parents do to. I can't really hide either because my dad is a government technician.

You are an adult. You can do whatever you like. If they find out what you were doing, tell them to mind their own business and let them know that you will do as you please.
Can't you get an iPhone without them knowing about it? Smart phones are really useful and so much fun. You shouldn't miss out on it because of the "overly concerned" people around you.
Or do you have some condition that would make it legitimately necessary for your parents to keep track of what you do?
