you are a dumb teenager. end of story.

when i was 16 i thought similarly, although without the yelling at my parents for 10 minutes part. now that i'm 25 i see my parents were right, and i was dumb. you will have a similar epiphany within the next 10 years or so. you will look back at your temper tantrums and realize just exactly how immature and foolish you are being right now.

and if you're in denial about what i said, that merely furthers my point.

Sucks that your parents just won't let you do any of that at all, but yeah, whiny teenager basically. You'll be fine. They only want what's good for you.

Meh, I think people are forgetting it's the OP's life and it's now or never, he's not going to live forever. He just wants to live while he's alive.

Quite frankly, I was the same before. My heart was like an open highway, and like FrankerZ said I did it my way. I think you better stand tall when they're calling you out. Don't bend, don't break and don't back down.

Or just listen to everyone else. That might be better. You've got to hold on to what you got, ready or not.

If have like a 4.0 and you're involved with sports, I don't see why it matters so much what you do with your free time. It's weird that you're parents are so draconian with the computer but they don't sound like bad people by any means.

They are using the opportunity to study abroad as some kind of 'punishment?'

A lot of TLers are probably too young to get this.

lol jibba beast mode

@OP: calm down. Yes I know video games are fun, but your parents aren't anywhere close to "the worst in the world." Try finding another hobby which doesn't involve staring at a computer all day. Alternatively, if you're so good at math, try learning some higher math.

Thanks a lot for all the replies. While i agree with a lot of you i still think that some of you are getting the wrong picture. For example those saying that i am spoiled: Considering i live in Switzerland, which is a very wealthy country, i'd say im the exact opposite of spoiled. I am in the minority that doesn't have a smart phone or a computer. My grade average is above most kids in my school and one guy said something about higher mathematics: Currentlly im writing my maturity paper about complex numbers, quaternions and their relation to rotation of objects in space, so i fullfil my time with many different things.

@jibba. Awesome post. Made me chuckle

although i dont listen to that much bon jovi.

To those saying that i should reason with my parents and discuss the matter. In this case it's: our way or the high way which basically means "no" to everything i say. There's no reasoning involved. I asked them many times to go to a counselor or psychologist so i could prove them wrong and every time they just brushed it off so i never got the chance to see what a doctor would say.

Also my parents are people that like authority as you might've notice. My mum is a teacher of chemistry in a gymnasium and my dad used to be a very high manager at HILTI in Liechtenstein so i guess that explains their philosophy.

Thanks for the posts i read through all of them and i'd be glad if you keep on posting

All this "worst parents ever" blogs are somewhat getting to me. In a world where families are absolutely broken, have alcoholic, drug-abusing, violent and constantly law-breaking parents, some people have the nerve to claim that having their Internet and gaming privileges qualifies them for having bad parents. Face it, your parents are legally bound to care for you until you are 18, and provide the electricity, computer and all your necessities, and yet you complain about, "My parents still refuse to let me play any video games".
Don't know about you, but think it over, and contemplate about how a parent should function, and in their position, how you should be helping the mental and physical welfare of their own child.

Really I can understand why you are frustrated and angry because they don't keep their words and I can guess that it is not really possible for you to try to explain things to them from your point of view because they probably don't even listen but saying they are bad parents just for that... Maybe we can trade mine for yours ? I even give you all the money I have in the bank.. no kidding.

Some of you seem to forget that just because OP is younger than 18, that doesn't mean his parents get to control every aspect of his life. He's a person too.

It sounds like he was physically assaulted by his father, and he is suffering emotional abuse as well. The former is illegal in the USA.
