So I'm turning 17 soon as the title said. My screen time is only 4 hours a day and I can't use my phone past 8. I'm going to be able to drive my brothers to school very soon and I'm going to be a junior. Am I crazy for thinking that I dont need these restrictions anymore? It feels like I'm being treated like I'm 12 and the fact that I have unlimited access to my laptop and I DONT stay up with it all night and I sleep at a reasonable time feels like I've more than proved myself to be capable of handling my own screentime. I can't even log into anything without parental permission this feels like hell. Oh and I not only have family link but she also recently downloaded BARK onto my phone to give me "more screentime limits" (moms words not mine) and now I dont even feel comfortable sending my boyfriend messages knowing that it sends her anything slightly sexual or "bullying" and feels like a major violation of my privacy. My mom acknowledged that but didnt do anything to fix it afterwards? My phone is barely useable at this point, limitation wise and the fact that it lags so badly.

I'm 16 almost 17 and I was really inspired to have a career as an EMT specifically for fire departments. I already posted on another place and I was mostly discouraged from pursuing this job but I honestly really want it, I get that its not a good job money wise and that I may want another career but I honestly really do want this one. I did a ride out at my moms shift and when I went with the squad to a cardiac arrest, that was what made me want to start at least studying what I would need to study to be an EMT. When I rode in the ambulance it really just made everything click, my mom even told me I had the perfect composure for seeing a dead body and I've always tried to learn as much medical stuff for the fun of it. Even if I don't end up being an EMT this stuff is still good to know!! I already have a second job planned out and I could do it along with EMT stuff.. I just want some advice on where I could start while I'm waiting until I can actually take courses dedicated to getting me the right certifications. Does anyone know where I could start?

So I'm 16, turning 17 in a few months and I want to be EMS/Paramedic for the fire department and I want to start taking courses or anything that will help me progress with the occupation as soon as I can. I shadowed at my mom's station for a day and I'm going back again on the 23rd. The first time I went I shadowed a squad, we showed up to a cardiac arrest and I was able to ride in the ambulance to the hospital and it honestly really inspired me. I was nervous but I felt calm, later on my mom told me that I had really good composure for seeing a basically dead body and thats a characteristic a paramedic needs to keep everyone calm. Since she told me that I've been thinking about it and I really want to be one myself, I live in Indiana so if anyone knows anything that will help me get a good start I'd really love to know.

So my laptop is kinda old, its a Thinkpad. Once before my laptop completely shut off and wouldn't turn on unless I had it plugged in, we replaced the battery and it worked fine again. (This was last year) Now yesterday, when I opened it the power button was blinking but no matter how long i pressed the button it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in and it turned on, I unplugged it and it stayed on and worked fine. I honestly don't know whats wrong with it; is it the battery or what? Buying a new laptop is the option I'm trying not to go with because its not my money thats going to be spent. Help is GREATLY appreciated!!
