I've lost multiple friendships from these parental controls, my dad has been setting them up on literally everything it's so annoying I'm 12 years so when I'm 13 is there any way I can stop the parental controls at 13????

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, if your Microsoft account is part of a family group as a child or member, you usually cannot leave the family group by yourself unless you have permission from the organizer. Your parent, who is your father, may need to remove your account or change the Family Safety settings for you.

    If you are in the U.S. and turn 13, that does not necessarily mean all of your Family Safety restrictions will automatically go away.

    If you need additional assistance, please let me know.

    Stay Safe!
