They found out
My parents went through my phone a day after I finally told them that I believe that I'm suffering from depression. They justified it by saying that is was because my boyfriend was acting "weird" on Saturday when he came to pick me up (he was sick and tired) and that I had no right to privacy anyway.
So, they naturally found out that we've been having sex and that's when everything went downhill. I was forced to sit through a two hour lecture where they said a variety of lovely things to me, including:
My boyfriend is taking advantage of me
That I'm having sex because I have no self worth or self esteem
My boyfriend isn't being honest with me
That I've cheated my future spouse because they are entitled to my virginity
That I can't be against human trafficking if I'm having sex at 16
That I've given away something precious that I can never get back
Them barely avoiding calling my boyfriend a rapist.
Etc.
Now, I'm not allowed to have my electronics in my room overnight and I'm not allowed to have the door to my room closed. I'm also being forced to listen to Christian sermons every single day, which means I have to listen to pastors shame and bash my decision. My dad is also forcing me to read books on the subject as well.
I'm so tired of being bullied and shamed my consensual choice, but my parents won't leave the subject alone. What do I do?
