AITA for telling my parents that they are morons and their parenting is shit?

YTA- Your parents believed they were being reasonable. Most adults would believe that is reasonable. Myself and everyone I know has been reprimanded in a similar way and would believe that is reasonable. Having a game system and a phone that you don’t pay for is a privilege. When you aren’t meeting expectations, you lose privileges. That’s the way it works as an adult too. Was that the best way to handle the situation given your circumstances? Maybe not but disrespecting parents who aren’t abusive to you and provide well for you beyond your basic needs to survive, is throwing a temper tantrum. You threw a temper tantrum. You’re still a kid so you’re hormonal, you haven’t learned how to handle your emotions well and stay composed in stressful situations so your reaction was understandable but it was not acceptable. You’re still a butthead for lashing out at your parents that way. You’ve got your things back now but your goal should be to not get yourself back in a situation where you lose your privileges again. Talk to your parents about how you’re feeling and talk to them about seeing a counselor and getting some medication so that you can function in a more reasonable way and be happier. Please, don’t ignore your mental health.
