How to avoid or block AT&T family map?

I'm almost 18 years old and my parents learned about AT&T family map and now they can see where I'm whenever they want. I think this is outrageous, I'll be a adult in less than a year and my parents think it's appropriate to track me like I'm some kind of delinquent. I want to know if there are any setting I can turn on or off, apps I can download to block my location or make it look like I'm somewhere else or anything I can do so my parents can't see where I'm. I really need help because I've looked all over the internet and i haven't found anything, I have an iPhone 5s and it has the newest software. If there's anyone who knows anything please help me out, thanks.

Your parents subscribed to AT&T family map deliberately so they could track you, and each other. Since it is part of the telephone service, it can't be disabled. The only thing you can do, when you do not want to be tracked, is turn off your phone before you go somewhere, and turn it on again after you return. They probably feel entitled to track the phone because you live with them, and they are paying for the phone service. There might also be some reason that one of them wants to keep track of the other. Right or wrong, and whatever their reason, they made the choice to track each other and you.

I would never have done that to my kids when they were your age, though I would have used it to find them when they were younger. There's a time for a parent to realize a child is no longer a child, and begin transitioning to a more adult-to-adult relationship… Which includes some respect of boundaries and privacy… Unless the child has demonstrated that he/she is not mature enough to make that possible.

If they confront you about turning the phone off, have a calm discussion with them. They may trust you, but still be clinging to the notion that you are their baby. We hear about all kinds of terrible things that happen to young people in the news… And tracking their cell phones would have made it possible to find them sooner, perhaps saving their lives. At 17-18 years old, you are old enough to make your own choices of friends and where to go and "hang out" with them. When I was tempted to track my older kids, I tried to remember some of the things I did at their age, and places I went, that I really didn't want my own parents to know about…(even though they seemed to find out anyway.) Maybe your parents just need to be reminded of that.

You turn it off by paying for your own phone service and getting off theirs. Then they can't track you. Until then, you deal with it. That's your choices.
