I´m sorry for what you said but, whatever the reason they had,
it is to protect you or to help you achieve better grades on school if the internet s absorbing you.
Are investing too much time here?
Are you sharing too much personal information on the internet? I don´t know! But I´m sure they are as selfish as it seems. There´s a good reason and probably you are too tender and they want you to spare you from any hurt or emotional pain.
Regarding you youth pastor I don´t know, I would hear my mother´s advice and, since I´m older than you, I can make my own decisions (some are regretable and I also have 3 kids and one who adopted me).
I´d like you could watch this video to see how some adult people were somehow isolated and socially rejected their same Amish Church (
another Christian denomination). The link is behind!
