Are you saying it's wrong to do anything other than what your parents say?

If you can play/follow StarCraft at a healthy rate that doesn't affect the rest of your life, do not quit. I don't care if it's a game or what your parents say, males always will have their "toys" to relax with, whether it be working in the garden outside, using power tools, or playing a video game.

Yea I'm quitting too. Well I will probably still dabble in sc now and then but I'm going to stop laddering and trying to be a good player. Having a summer job, a girlfriend, playing poker, and preparing for college are all taking up my time and I really don't miss playing starcraft.
I mean, if you still have a strong desire to play it will be tough to quit, but it will be much easier if you find something else to fill your time with.

I think Xeo is on the right track. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, that's just how it goes.

You sound mature enough to confront your parents about what you think.
So do exactly that or bend over and live miserably.

Games also destroy your ability to detect sarcasm. Avoid them at all costs.

Just learn to moderate? I think thats more part of growing up than just blindly following your parents' advice about something they dont even know. I prefer not to have a lengthy debate with them about how Starcraft taught me to be calm in most situations, resilient as fuck, and be optimistic about things.
Have you even tried confronting them about this?
If you actually like StarCraft that much, it wouldn't hurt to not be a momma's boy and at least try to reach a compromise.

My parents are actually supportive of my SC addiction. Even though I am terribly bad at this game, they ask every day during a WCG Qualifier how I did and when am I going to win one so they can go to NYC to watch me play there.
I don't have the heart to tell them I have no chance but it's nice to know that they support me in whatever I'm doing.
YOU ARE LUCKY!!!

imo your parents have the wrong idea.
Not playing sc as much is the result of growing up, not the process. It doesn't matter if you're not physically playing the game if you're constantly thinking about it. The goal is to eliminate the desire to play sc excessively. There is no harm from playing sc occasionally or even frequently as long as it doesn't interfere with your main life goals. Addiction is when you can't stop yourself from playing too much.
P.S. computer games don't affect your driving skills, wtf. The only case where that point would hold any ground is if you play a racing game where if you turn the steering wheel left, the car goes right ~_~

Oh and you shouldn't quit sc because they want you to. Almost everything you do in life should be self-motivated or it's doomed to lead to failure/unhappiness for the most part. Well I don't know if that's true, but it sounds legit doesn't it?

How about you just do it and not whine on teamliquid? K thanks.

go do hard drugs for a few months, parents will welcome the computer.
sc made me gosu driver.

As everyone has been saying, sc in moderation is good. If you don't have anything else better to do, then why not play?
Taking a break from sc is good, but not quitting completely, your parents have no logical arguments at all for why you should stop unless you play like 8 hours a day:/
It's just society looking down on video games as a hobby, but it's no different from reading books or watching movies as a hobby. It's your own life, and you are not a kid anymore.

god damn, i thought this was another "quitting smoking" thread, i literally got trolled/pwned.

People already explained it but
- If you like playing why stop? if you're playing it excessively you might need to cut it down, but there's no good reason to completely flat out stop.
- I don't see how quitting starcraft is growing up. You see plenty of adults that have hobbies that aren't playing video games, so why is it such a bad thing to play video games as you get older? Like I said, if it relieves stress, makes you happy, etc. there shouldn't be a major problem with it.

good luck, you'll be back
