So,
my parents felt like it's necessary to take away my xbox to make me focus on school and do more with my friends. But the problem is i'm not bad at school, I got a 2,5 Average Grade Cut (btw i live in germany, just that you don't compare it to another grade system,for example the french one (1-20)) whatever it's called like in english :D That would be like B's and C's in america i guess. Also I'm doing a lot with my friends, not as much as people did when videogames didn't exist , about 3 or 4 times a week, even if I'm at school 3 times week untuil 18o' clock. What bothers me is that i really enjoy playing destiny and all this "We take away your games" stuff didn't changed my attitude at all.
I'm really upset at the moment and I can't think of a good argument to show them that this is not necessary, so I thought that i can ask the bungie community because of an major part of nice and mature people who could come up with a great idea in solving my "problem"/helping with my current situation :)
PS: I don't wanna do anything that could harm me and impede me in my future life (BTW I am 16)
I count on you guardians! :)
And sorry if i bother you on your search for an answer on your problem, if you have a question i will also try to answer yours :)
Edit 1: I thank Everybody for his opinion and ideas to solve this :)
Also I wanna mention that i Play in a fair Limit already (Maximum of 2 hours a Day and maybe some long Sessions at week-end nights if there's no party) and that these two more free hours were used with sitting around because i already planned through everything i Do and these two free hours Are just Time that i waste by sitting in my room and listening to music
Edit 2: Since a lot of People Post that C's aren't that Good i guess you Can compare my Average Grade to many B's and a few C's i don't know :D anyways my grades Are Good, i mean i can't be a Doctor But i have a lot of opportunitys with these grades :)

That's a horrible gpa. I see why your parents took it away.

As my parents would say, does that make you stand out in a good way. And a c doesnt

My oldest is only 7 but if he was in middle/high school and bringing home a lot of Cs I would curtail his time, I wouldn't ban him though. That being said, parents gotta parent and I'm certainly not trying to tell anyone else how to do it. Your English is flawless, i never had any skill with languages, took Spanish for 4 years and i'm barely conversational despite the face I married into a largely Spanish speaking family. Good luck getting back on.

6 RespostasEditado por Mr. Moon: 9/5/2015 2:51:35 AMBs and Cs in my family not only got my games taken away, but my outdoor activities and friends. All As or no fun. And guess what? I graduated High School without anything below an A. Bitch...

It does a fool no good to pay for an education, because he has no common sense.

26 RespostasAll these people saying grades matter, I laugh at you my gpa in high school was terrible 2.0, I think. I didn't do homework, didn't really see the point since I pretty much had everything memorized right when they taught it and I got A's on my tests. I nailed a 33 on my ACT and got into a great school went for a year and decided it wasn't for me. I'm 24 and I have a house I bought last year that I'm currently 3 months ahead on, a 2012 car that I bought new and is completely paid off, I bought my girlfriend a car two years ago and that will be paid off next year, and I'm a manager at a small business that I have helped make quite successful. Doing well in school and getting good grades is not a requirement to be successful in the real world. I work hard, I'm the first one in every day and I am the last to leave, if someone has to come in on the weekends I am usually the one who volunteers, I constantly work to improve at what I do and find a better, faster, and more efficient way to do it and that is what has made me successful. I'm not where I want to be yet but not graduating college has not hindered me nor my drive to be where I want to be in life, nor will it ever. All the knowledge you could want can be acquired without spending a ridiculous amount of money for a piece of paper that says you graduated college.

So you're a 16 year old German citizen who has a better command of the written English language than many Americans on these boards. I'd say that counts for something. While B's and C's are not impressive I would imagine you would be a straight A student in most public education systems here in America. Conclusion, tell your parents you dream of living in America and by our standards you would be well above average.
-
My parents aren't strict at all but they probably wouldn't want me to play much of xbox if I got C's lol
-
Man I can't WAIT to do this to my kids. Parents rule!!!!
-
It really depends on what you want to do in life. Does your future require you to go to school and get a nice piece of paper? Want to be a doctor, lawyer or astronaut? If not, don't sweat it and maintain the average if its easy for you to do so. Keep your parents and yourself happy enough though, don't ruin that relation.

8 Respostas[i]Save up and buy a console all by yourself. They can't take that away unless you are stupid and let them. I had a similar problem when I was in Middle School. I saved up money from odd jobs and bought a console and video game, bumped my grades up to a 3.7gpa and when my parent tried to take it away I didn't let them. They hit me so I beat the shit out of them and kept playing with good grades.[/i]

DUCK school

2 RespostasBs and Cs is bad.

Stay out till 5am and when they get pissed say "Well you told me to spend more time with friends so I did." They will likely just be even angrier but you will have successfully proven your point and you can hold your head up high.

1 ResponderLol at 2.5 being good
-
1 ResponderGet a PlayStation 4 and destiny on that, then since it looks better you can hide the controller and when they come in your room tell them it's the destiny movie
-
If it was me I'd piss in their bed
-
3 RespostasLol @ all these people who think you have to have all A's to get into a good university. Its all about money and its been that way for a long time. If you have the drive to want to go to college and more importantly the money, then you'll get in to a college.
-
9 RespostasWork harder man. My GPA is 5.14 and my parents still treat me the same
-
Kill people.
-
3 RespostasYou type English better than most of the Americans that post here so you have that going for you. I have nothing to say about the issue you've posted.
-
Grades are just a measure of how obediant you are
-
Just make a deal. If your grades fall below a 2.0 Grade average, them they can take it away.
-
1 ResponderOk this is what you do man! Get a girl pregnant and blame it on the lack of video games. That will really show your parents.
