ADHD

pov : you’re a professional athlete with adhd 

before each quarter you must fill your whereabouts which is the addresses of where you will be training and competing on a slow glitchy website

every night you must update the website with where you’re sleeping including room number if you’re in a hotel

if you forget to do it 3 times in a year you get a 2-4 year ban from sport

(it makes me laugh how the reminders go from “dear athlete🥰 thanks” to a straight up threat)

Woah this is so cool! Annoying though necessary 🤣 

This reminds me of old school kpop idol trainee gps tracking! For them it was less about drug testing and more monitoring whereabouts. I had trainee friends who’d talk about hiding their phones at home so they can’t be tracked but they’d get calls and texts from their managers and have to respond within a certain amount of time

There’d be other idol trainees that live with them or if they’d live at home the managers would have contact information for the parents, etc or just drive over to check in on them. Korea’s fairly small physically and I feel like at least back then all the trainees were concentrated in specific areas with dance studios, etc. 

It’s also common for Korean study abroad students to have no choice but to download apps that will alert their teachers or supervising program managers if they leave a specific geographic region bound to the study abroad school’s campus! So technically you aren’t allowed to explore outside of the campus even if it’s just to like go to a museum or go grocery shopping

wait what!! i have never heard of this

i feel like gps somehow feels more invasive but i would so prefer not having to think about it 😭 but what if their phone died or broke
