Best method, talk with your parents and see if they can tell you a logical reason for not wanting you to keep a laptop in your room. Other than the "We cannot see you" answer! I mean, if your brother can have his own laptop there (who knows what he is doing) why can't the same permission be granted to you.

I'm in the same kind of situation as you. Spent my hard earned money on a gaming computer. Can't get it into my room since my dad think i'll be playing late at night. But I gotten a laptop just recently and been using it as kind of a gaming PC whenever I can't go to the back room (computer room).

Another solution is to move out to your own place that way you can avoid your parent's rules!

OK here's the deal to everyone wondering why her brother can and she can not.

Yes most of us grew up in a the modern era where everything a man can do a woman can to.

But sadly for most our parents that is not the case. Especially in Asian and Latin American cultures. Men are often granted rights and privileges simply for being men. The idea of equality between sexes has not hit them yet or if it has they right it off as plain crazy.

In a lot of cultures the woman is still believed to be weak and helpless there for needs to be protected, and need to stick what the traditional conservative role the woman plays in their culture (cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids etc.)

So basically what I'm saying is she has fallen victim to oldest reason as to why her brother can do things and she can not. The double standard.

What sucks is as much as she tries to argue her point and no matter the amount of logic she uses, chances are her parents are pretty dead set on the fact that she will not be allowed to do certain things.

Dude maybe your parents just don't want you to find their cams but your brother already knows and is blackmailing them?

Well if you're not staying up late/doing in-appropriate things, I don't see any reason why you should have it in your room.
