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 :)

2 답변I love the quote, "time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." Most hobbies are intrinsically pointless. Painting, playing a instrument, photography, and yes playing video games. The point is not for them to be productive but rather the enjoyment one gets out of them. It's funny that the validity of the hobby many times is based on what other people find valued. So if you play piano and other people think that is worthwhile spending hours playing is fine. The point that any hobby becomes a problem is when you are not meeting other obligations in your life or you have trouble balancing other things. Good luck, I'm sure your parents love you and think they are looking out for your best interests.

Sign up for something bf extracurricular at school. It will give you something else to do and show your parents that you're involved in the real world. I personally would recommend band. Not too much work (unless it's marching band).

1 답변When you get your XBOX back, get a notebook. Take notes of time spent doing everything. After a week, read it. If it looks pretty balanced, show it to your parents. Show them that you're responsible. If it doesn't seem balanced, show it to your parents anyway, and ask them for their advice. That will also show them your are responsible.

14 답변If you're playing 3 hours a day, every day (and let's face it, I'm willing to bet it's more) then that's just not healthy. Not only for you physically right now, but for the fact that it changes your mindset for the future and how you view addiction. Let's face it. If you feel the need to play that much every day then there's probably an issue. Regardless it's their house. If you're not paying rent or paying to support yourself then I see no problem with them raising you properly.

1 답변Hit the gym and get big enough to where you can do whatever the -blam!- you want and your parents cant do anything about. Its impossible for parents to discipline a buff, in shape child the way they want to.

1 답변Idk man, your future academically is more important than playing a game. It's sucks now but if you just do as they say you'll be the better for it in the long run.

5 답변Wow my parents took a total different approach. The rules were as long as you kept good grades you were able to play. So, when I got home I'd finish my homework and then I was allowed to play. The thing is my mom understands that this generation is very different than her's was. She would rather have me play video games than go out, drink alcohol, and do drugs. She always made sure to be a friend when needed, but also maintained her role as a respected parent. Now, I'm 18 and in college. I graduated high school with good grades and was always on honor roll. I balanced going out with friends and playing video games, thanks to my mom. I've seen some of my friends rebel because of strict parents who were not understanding at all. My brother is 14, has good grades, and good friends. On weekdays he plays after he's done with homework. On the weekends he pretty much gets to play as much as he wants AFTER finishing chores. He's turning out great. I think the key to a healthy relationship with your parents is communication, boundaries, understanding, and respect.
