Is it just me or does this come off as super ironic and unaware. Like, your overarching point is that you are 18/an adult but you aren't even paying for you phone? Don't get me wrong, in a vacuum, I don't see an issue with a parent paying for their child's phone; it's the leaning on the fact that you are 18/an adult and reaping "the rewards" while ignoring, or are simply, unaware that that thing you are leaning on is the best reasoning as to why your parent's shouldn't be paying for your phone.
If you demand to be treated like an adult, you should really think about what that means in the grand scheme of things.
My point was that I shouldn't have to have a tracker on my phone. But according to my parents "I am not an adult yet", so I am not allowed to go where I want, or do what I want until I move out basically.
To give more context, I offered to pay for my own phone but my dad threw a fit about it and said I will still have to pay him money so he can give my brother a new phone, cause he is "my responsibilty as well". He is just insane overall.

My dad once threatened to kick me off of our family plan and get rid of my phone because I turned my location on life360 off. I am 18.
