Teacher forcing me to delete social media?

[michaelastasiak]

Theoretically, assuming you are posting nothing slanderous about the teachers of educational institute themselves, and aren't using the site on their property, they can't tell you what to do on your free time. However, depending on your grade level (and considering you mentioned detention, i'm imagining middle or high school), rules can be overlooked. Teachers tend to get away with a lot under the ruse of "protecting the student". Take the matter to your principle, and let him/her make a decision. Also consult your parents prior to making any rash, possibly conflict-creating decisions.
