I (16M) recently got my first phone from my parents. They told me that one of the conditions for having it was that I have to share my location with them at all times. This feels like an invasion of my privacy, but they insist that it's just for my safety. I'm very responsible, I get good grades, I have never sneaked out, this doesn't feel reasonable to me. I have tried having calm conversations about it, and I have pointed out that I always tell them where I'm going, but they are holding firm. I don't actually have an issue with them knowing where I am, but the idea of them knowing where I am instantly just through looking up my phone makes me uncomfortable.

I have an idea for how to express how I feel about it, I plan to buy a novelty prisoner costume for the ankle tag, roll up my leg to show the tag, and tell them this is a symbolic representation of how I feel over the location tracking. Luckily I saw the kind of costume I'm looking for in a shop. The ankle tag is plastic, has a blinking red light, and straps around your ankle with velcro. It’s super fake-looking, but perfect for what I want to say.

But I don't know if this is a good idea. I want to make a point but I'm not sure how they will react. Am I just being disrespectful or could this be a good idea? I just want to hear other's thoughts.

TL;DR: My parents are making me share my phone location 24/7. I want to protest by wearing a fake ankle tag at breakfast to make a point. Not sure if it’s clever or too much. WIBTA?
