I personally applaud your parents for going to that measure to protect you. Being someone who know about the deep dark underbelly of the internet, it is a very good thing.
There are many things out there that not even a consenting adults should be seeing.
There are several ways to get around such filters, and while I don't agree with your parents' ways of handling this situation this is between you and them, therefore I will not get involved.

But, now I can lock down my kids access and pretty much everything else on the computer they are allowed to use. EDIT: I just followed your link and realized your parents are not using the new win7 controls, but a 3rd party product. So, you will need to talk to them as that product probably doesn't have a feature to send a request to unblock. They should have looked into win7's new parental controls. Pretty good and free. |
Listen to superchunk. There's a lot of wisdom in these words.

you are 13 and you are trying to go behind your parents back. Obviously you aren't responsible enough to handle the internet if you have to stoop to low levels. So far you haven't listed any websites that you want to visit that your parents are blocking that seem unreasonable. Obviously your parents want the best for you, so go talk to them.
Heck, my parents still have a filter on their server and they don't even have any kids in the house. While it is annoying sometimes it does save you from some of those websites that you really didn't intend to visit, like dicks dot com for dickssportinggoods dot com

Rude? how? For being a concerned loving parent who wishes their children don't access inappropriate websites as well as locks down the ability to install/download software to ensure I don't need to spend hours fixing viruses? Not rude; its called being responsible. |
children are pretty smart these days.

What does their intelligence have to do with what I said? Do you mean they could figure out how to get around it? Of course and if my 7 ro 6 yr old figured that out, I'd be impressed as well as a little scared. But, since I can see what sites they visit I can see if they are using a pass through site or something else, and then just block that; along with other punishments for going around my back.
Parents are supposed to be parents, not buddies who blindly let anything happen. Kids are generally naive and make many mistakes. I'm just tyring to prevent those that are preventable until they have matured and can truly understand the consequences.
What with all the 'private browsing' options in browsers now to prevent husbands being caught porn hunting by there wives, it is harder than ever for parents to keep tabs on what kids are doing without taking draconian measures.
13 is still too young to be browsing unsupervised, your lucky to have parents that care and are savy enough to know.
Yeah, anyone who says anything other than talk to your parents is just wrong. I actually give a giant nod of respect to your parents for actively trying to parent you. Hooray for good parents!
You're 13, find your porn somewhere else, all us 25+ year old managed fine without porn overflowing from our computers, I'm sure you can too.

There are ways around that too. There's a program that I can't remember the name for the life of me that just emails the parent every website you visited that day. You can visit whatever website you want without being stopped and be in private browsing mode but they'll still know about it at the end of the day.
Of course considering the OP joined this site just to ask that, I'm sure he has spammed every forum he can think of and I'm sure some tool is going to give him an answer so this is all pretty pointless anyways.

Hooray for thinking all 13 year olds are in the same developmental stages and that content would actually somehow alter development.
What a child sees is not near as important as how to think and utilize in their heads what they have seen. Good parenting was never about censoring, but explaining thoroughly the meaning of a given thing. Yes there are extreme cases which just shouldn't be seen, but that content is unsuitable for anyone in any age group. It's far more important to expose a perosn and explain everything to them. One day they will see whatever content was there and if it was not explained it will have almost the same effect as if they saw it at an earlier age. Just outright censoring is a sign of lazy and/or incompetent parenting.
