Stuck in dis sticky situation

Definitely listen to what your parents say. Respect your parents and they will respect you back when you're older by trusting you and allowing you to do things. It feels a lot better in life to go and do something that you know your parents have approved instead of having to hide it instead. While it may seem difficult right now, it will pay off in the end.

Disobeying your parents will just make them more limited in what they let you do and it will end up backfiring. Do not get tumblr, but if you still want it, talk to your parents maturely about it. Explain why you want it, in what ways you know to avoid the things that are inappropriate for your age, and just be honest and truthful with them. If they say no, just accept it and wait. I can assure you tumblr is not even a good site anyways. It's a very stupid, time-wasting site to be on, with a lot of unneeded drama and vulgarity.
 
I'm with Trundle, respect what your parents say, and don't go and do things behind their backs.
On a slightly different note, Tumblr is an incredibly toxic cesspool of hatred unless you stay on the extreme edges of the website. I really wouldn't recommend using it.

For the correcting about Anxiety, the person hadn sent an ask about common symptoms of Anxiety and they responded with a totally wrong list and went on a rant about how 'Anxiety isn't real', so I responded with a proper list and a small slap on the wrist comment for some ableist stuff- after that I was bombarded with asks saying I was wrong along with some really spiteful stuff which I deleted a shortly after cause it was stressing me out majorly. (All of which weren't on Anon as I always keep that off so I can block people)
With the cishet stuff it was mainly me directing people to some good support blogs (which online friends have showed me to educate me about what they go through) and then getting told to p*ss off as it wasn't my business by other people. (Though I really don't believe that 'cisphobia' exists, I'm just way too sensitive) I can understand the venting, I tend to do that too about Neurotypical people :/

they said anxiety wasnt real? wow.. i dont see how you in the end got hate though
hmm i think its always good when cishets get more educated on the topic so i dont see why you were booted off either?
idk that was very odd. usually that doesnt happen but im sorry you had to deal with that.


but wait til youre older. you can still look at blogs and tags i guess, but i wouldnt make a blog.

I have a tumblr and I'm more of the cautious type so I feel like I'm in the safe zone, for now.
But as others have said, maybe wait or just don't join it o: It's not good to go against your parents > w< I like to keep mine happy and proud of me so I obey them.
 
Wait..why is joining tumblr will lead to bully? Odd to me...cause I see it just as a site? for posting picture?

Back to topic. Is not worth to go against your parent and make them upset, get ban from computer, and angry at them in your heart for the punishment. Afterall they just trying to protect you.
 
Why would you even bring it up with your parents, just make one if you want.
But they can easily find out if you do though, they can just check your browser history, if you use google chrome you can just use icnognito mode though, if you clear your history they'll know your up to something.
 
I say listen to your parents for now.

Tumblr is like any other online community and although it seems like all the "cool kids" so to speak go on there it is no different than your Blogger or even TBT here. You can still find friends, you can still get your ideas out there, you can still be yourself; likewise, you can still experience jerks and bullies. The point I'm making is, if your only desire for having a tumblr is to share an adventure you posted about earlier, then it shouldn't matter where it is posted as long as you have someplace to post it and share with others.

You may not get likes in the shape of hearts or reblogs, but you can get feedback and appreciation for what your posting as long as you make that available to others through the sites tags, sharing links with friends, or even posting it here.

If you have other reasons besides starting a blog, then I think you need to establish that with your parents as to why it is important to you. When a parent hears their child wants to start a blog on a website they hear bullying happens, it can probably make them scared and worried for their child. Try to see it from their point of view and show them you're grown up enough for this account through reasoning and not still the little kid they see by sneaking around.

idk i had a tumblr in 2009 when i was 9... i kinda left it there until 2011 when i started using it again.

however, i did have a facebook when i was 8 so

tumblr isnt even that bad, your whole experience depends on the people you follow. you wouldnt follow people that post things that you dont like. you can always download xKit and blacklist tags as well.
 
You know, you can make an account in tumblr, not giving your real info! You can put all fake info (birthday of your favourite idol, ACNL villager, etc) age that you wish you are now, nickname, fake name, whatever, is online nobody knows if you are giving out real info or not. I don't see anything wrong to make an account for tumblr. But if this make your parent unhappy, then don't go against them.
 
Actually, you can get bullied on tumblr even if you don't mix with the wrong crowd. I have an ACNL tumblr and I recently made a post telling people that if they were sad and needed someone to talk to I'd be there as a friend. Sounds nice, right? Well, I went to sleep shortly after I made it and when I came back I had like 5 messages from anons calling me stupid and telling me to kill myself.
 
Don't be naughty. If you do ever get caught you would just lose more of your parents' trust. So would you rather disobey them and possibly lose their trust, or not do it and look for other things?
 
I went and asked my parents if I could get it and my Mum said yes. She then discussed it with my Dad who didn't want me to join. What he was scared of was anon ask, but I don't have it turned on.

I made my account yesterday and am very happy to finally join. Thank you for your input guys, if I ever get into a similar situation again, I'll keep this thread in mind. You're right, I shouldn't disobey my parents and I'm glad I am.
 
Good to hear you cleared it up through simple dialogue with your parents. It's a very underrated thing, as parents don't necessarily understand these things.
