My parents! THEY LISTENED
[b][i][u]WE MADE A COMPROMISE! I GOT MY XBOX BACK :D[/u][/i][/b]
Taken King came out as the holidays began for me, and I was really excited for the 2 weeks of solid playing. I'm 16 years old (grade 10) and can only play 3 hours a day. I played Destiny for 3 hours per day in intervals for most days, but apparently my parents are not happy with this. They say it's "controlling me" when I still help around the house and take regular breaks. (Remember, this is the holidays, meaning no school) They say it's so bad, that they are locking my xbox away. I play 3 hours a day, spread out [i][b]DURING THE HOLIDAYS[/b][/i] and they take away my xbox. This has nothing to do with school, as I am a straight A student.
What are your thoughts in this? Is it unjust? Or do I deserve this.
Edit 1: Thanks so much for the support guys, you really seem to understand. This proves that the destiny community aren't always dicks. Looks like I'll just have to wait a few years. Good thing destiny has a 10 year plan :)
Edit 2: 153 replies! Overwhelming support! I can't believe this, you guys are awesome. I've heard a few interesting ways to help myself with this, including but not limited to:
-Threatening to summon a demon
-Lick a pole and get "No F's given syndrome"
-Annoy the -blam!- out of parents
-Kill parents
Edit 3: I WAKE UP TO 554 REPLIES!
I don't understand this xD Thanks so much
Edit 4: 1024 replies! I don't even know what to say. This is my most replied to thread xD
Out of everything it could have been! Thanks to SmoggyPluto for sharing his view, he's an awesome guy, and thanks to everyone else :)

3 답변At 16 years old that's ridiculous! I understand the whole "my house, my rules" but that doesn't mean they should be taking it as far as dictating how much time you spend playing games. I'd be much happier knowing my son was at home playing games rather than being out with god knows who, doing god knows what.

3 답변Get a job. Mum used to be like "Harry go do something with your life" I got a job. She now doesn't bother me when I play games (15yrs)

3 답변If I over thinking it, maybe go out with you friend. Show them you do have a social life outside gaming. Coz parent think technology is bad. So you're good at school, you do your chores around the house and you have friends for your social skills then you'll have your free time for what ever you like doing.

1 답변My thoughts is that you are unlucky and you will have to wait to be 18+, move out or whatever. Your parents suffer from the typical generational gap and they don't understand that playing a videogame, interacting with people, doing something that keeps your mind active is way better than sit and watch TV as they probably do. I don't want to insult your parents but they are a bit ignorant about this issue because they are born in a different generation. Try to explain them that this is how your generation hangs out with friends and it's how you want to spend your free time.

5 답변Try to have a mature conversation with them. Without getting upset or emotional (even if they do), explain to them that you see the merits of being social and active. But that ultimately video games make you happy. Try to find a compromise. Video gaming is not a crime, and being comfortable with yourself is an important aspect of becoming an adult. I may not have all the details, but it seems like they are trying to have you be some one you're not. And unfortunately for them, it is not up to them what you like or who you are. Keep up with school and chores, go outside and play games with your friends. But in the end, you will have to at some point assert the person you are. Your intuition will be your guide... Remember be calm and composed always. Prevent your young self from getting emotional... Good luck guardian.

5 답변Here's how the real world works You get your shit done, and done right. Then you do whatever you want in your off time as long as its not hurting anyone. Ask your parents to explain to you what it is about your life they think its hurting that you play this game for 3 hours. All its doing is making you happy. If they seek to take that away, that means that they only want to take away your happiness. Bonus points if you show them this post. I'd love to explain this very simple concept to them. Sincerely, a successful adult with a $10/hr job, his own place, his own car, and his own XBOX who literally does NOTHING but sleep and play Destiny after work.

4 답변Parents don't know how to be parents anymore. They just become control freaks and do t allow their children to do what they like to do. Stick it out and bite your tongue. Just obey them and keep getting your good grades. Don't do anything stupid or drastic or cause a lot of drama. Once you are 18 or college bound you are golden. Basically if you just be patient and work towards getting out of the house you won't have any issues. Destiny will always be there for you. Side note - your parents are fgt assholes. You get straight As and take frequent breaks. It sounds like you got screwed over there.
