Phreaking is a slang term coined to describe the activity of a subculture of people who study, experiment with, or explore telecommunication systems, such as equipment and systems connected to public telephone networks. As telephone networks have become computerized, phreaking has become closely linked with computer hacking. This is sometimes called the H/P culture (with H standing for hacking and P standing for phreaking).

The term phreak is a portmanteau of the words phone and freak, and may also refer to the use of various audio frequencies to manipulate a phone system. Phreak, phreaker, or phone phreak are names used for and by individuals who participate in phreaking. A large percentage of the phone Phreaks were blind. Because identities were usually masked, an exact percentage cannot be calculated.

A. Your routine seems harmless. Perhaps Moms is just misinformed, thinking you'll stunt your growth by overdoing it, even though you are not. Just tell her that you are doing this for your health, and tell her it'll only make you better in the long run.
