TikToker recounts her parents discovering her messages with boys, and questioning her for two days. Commenters can’t believe it’s not a joke

A TikTok creator known as @_heywhatsupyall recently posted a video detailing the incredibly strict household rules she faced throughout her childhood and adolescence, the Daily Dot reported. The video, which has already racked up more than 780,000 views and over 8,300 comments, features the creator filming while currently grounded, noting that many of these restrictive policies are still in effect today.

The creator outlines a regime where digital privacy was essentially non-existent. She did not receive a phone until eighth grade, and even then, she was forced to leave it in her parents’ room every night until her junior year of high school. Her parents actively monitored it, checking the device nightly before eventually scaling back to once every few days.
