Do well in school or you won't be able to afford games ... Fast food doesn't pay nearly enough . Either brake destiny or controll yourself and put it aside till homeworks done first and studying ... The better you do in school now .. Believe it or not will make life easier later and more time for games... Girls and relationships will move quick at that age and in a year you won't even remember that girl .. Or her relationship will be done and you'll be ready .. Shit has a way of working out .. On a side note join a martial art ... Like bjjor Kung fu !! They Will teach you self discipline and allow you to earn self respect

Enjoy your destiny days before your gf/wife eventually squeezes all enjoyment out of you making you not play lol

I feel this way too sadly but I'd ask my parents fur help cuz mine are now super strict with games and I Cam only play after all of my work is done

Try to do what I do I make myself do this Only play on weekends and Wednesday Works for me pretty well :)

Get your sibling or parents to not let you play until you finish what you have to do. Stay at school and finish homework before you head home and play. This is what I do to not fall behind. I don't excercise or go out though haha. I would do that regardless of Destiny.

Now I could give you the scientific reasoning behind it, endorphins/addition/quitting/depression, blah, blah, but I won't. I'll just tell you this, you are only young once. If this is truly what you love doing, then by all means keep playing. If not, then realize when you are older you will want to look back on your younger years and feel good about the decisions you made. Sure, not everyone has a perfect childhood and high school wasn't completely perfect for everyone. Hell, I'm 33 and even though I had one heck of a fun time in high school, there's a ton of things I would have done differently (Amie H., I'm looking at you lol and I probably would have taken school a little more serious and partying a little less). What I'm getting at is, 10-15 years from now do you want to look back and remember sitting around, getting fat and playing games? Or do you want to remember all the fun things you did with your friends, and possibly your girlfriend(s)? Or that you manned up and worked your ass off to get into that amazing college which in turn gave you a great job and ultimately led to a great life, with a great family? Gaming and video games are going to be here for the foreseeable future. Don't let a game now determine what your life will become. If it is really as addicting to you as you make it out to be, then put it up until you feel like you can manage it. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what you want to do. If you want to let your life be dominated by a TV screen and a controller, then so be it. You have all the power in this situation. Good luck, I hope you can make a decision that is beneficial to your happiness now and in the future.

Here's a tip... GROW UP KID

I agree it can be addictive. One of the reasons I believe people play a lot is they are trying to keep up with the rest of the destiny population in terms of level and gear. If you can stop trying to keep up you'll realise you don't have to play for so long each sitting and it's easier to put the controller down. I have a lot of friends who have more time than me and I can't play the higher level stuff with them but I know eventually I'll get there, whilst they would have burned out.

I had the same exact case.. [i][b]Just wait until fallout 4.[/b][/i]

Hey Bro, I feel your pain. I only play Destiny on the weekend because it helps with my grades. Try doing that. Destiny ruined my life at one point but I conquered that addicting game. I still play, but only 7 hours per week. Good luck my friend. If you need any advice, feel free to contact me privately.

Just do it at school. I'm play this 3 hours a day, and I'm making straight A's. I also do it while i play videogames. In between pvp matches and loading screens. If it's a big project.... well... your screwed... I remember when I did my entire science fair project in one week. (Honors Biology is a pain)...

Life is all about balance my friend. As cliche as it sounds you should try working out a bit. I couldn't get into it at your age but it's actually great stress relief and a confidence booster. Also try using destiny as a reward to yourself for doing your homework etc. Help out your parents around the house prior to gaming, I know they'll appreciate it. When I was 16 I was into smoking weed all day everyday and drinking on the weekends, I dabbled in worse substances and over the years I lost some good friends to drugs. Video games are an addiction but there are a lot of worse things for you out there for you at your age. You'll get through this.

Hey Nolandroid, I understand you're having a tough time trying to stop playing Destiny. There's a few things I want to point out: -First of all, you need to understand Destiny is NOT ruining your life. You are allowing it to. -On weekdays tell your dad to take your console or controllers away and hide them. You can only play when you are done EVERYTHING. -Put a timer on for yourself. Work for 45 mins and then take a 5 min break. Repeat until all work is done. This allows you to focus on your task as it puts some pressure on you. -Finally, BELIEVE you can change. I wish you the best of luck, KUNGFU-AZZAZZIN

I would suggest making a daily schedule... two hours for homework, 30-60 minutes for exercise and the rest for Destiny. But do your homework first. If you can get a regimen down now, things will be easier for you when you become an adult or go to college. Think of it this way, make the sacrifices now in order to enjoy things later. Those sacrifices can lead to an hour or two of Destiny that same day or those same sacrifices can be building blocks to use in your adult life. Nothing will be gained without sacrifice.

Just stop playing destiny and start smoking weed

God dang dopamine researchers finding the best possible way to get people hooked. Biggest factors that keep destiny players playing constantly...RNG, Daily resets, weekly resets, and events (Iron banner).

Im light level 303 and I go to work everyday and have a very nice savings and I only play a little bit during the week n raid on the weekend. Will power if you want to continue play only a little a day. If you can't get rid of it. Destiny is a social experiment and is directly made to be addicting. Beat oryx and quit.

Really??
