Just felt like sharing this experience of mine and i also wanted to see if others might have similiar problems.
Anyway here goes nothing:
So im a 16 year old boy living in Switzerland im in the best gymnasium in the country (statistically rank 1) and im in the bilingual class as well. I play volleyball 2 times a week as well as table tennis 2 times a week some im in good shape (if you say it like that  ). I´m also in a band. I play both starcraft brood war as well as starcraft 2. It´s the first and only game i´ve ever had a passion for (besides DoTa, i played a lot of that as well) and i´ve played over 2.5k sc2 games. But I got this really awesome thing called annoying parents that regard starcraft as a waste of time. They have this philosophy that it isn´t normal to have a passion for games and (here comes the best part) watching starcraft is the same as playing it. It pretty much started years back when i first got into the gymnasium where they promised to buy me a computer (i was 11 then). They didn´t keep their promise (as was to be expected) because they thought i changed and that i wasn´t such a game junk anymore but then they realized i was still the same so they thought it was wrong to buy me one. Anyhow I accepted that and life pretty much went on as usual except that they used everything to stop me from gaming. It would be something like this: "you didnt go to the grocery store like we told you." BAM one week no computer (mind you i was only allowed to play on weed ends anyhow). Despite all of that i kinda had to accept it and still played when i could. Now when starcraft 2 came out i was obviously amazed by the game and started with the Beta, then bought the game on release and after 5 seasons got into masters. At that point my parents said, you play computer too much and i ended up with 6 MONTHS NO STARCRAFT 2.
I was forced to play league of legends since starcraft was faaaar too stressful for me and all the fast clicking made me go crazy. Recently me and my dad had an agreement, that i could play 1.5 hours a day if i did certain things such as go to my trainings and all that stuff. I fulfilled those things but for the first 2 weeks i played 3 hours every 2nd day instead of 1.5 hours daily. But i didn´t go over the 10.5 hours i had a week yet my dad (and my mum as well) cheated as was to be excpected and they actually counted things like being on my phone and checking my e-mail to those 1.5 hours. This ended in a disaster and i wasn´t able to play at all anymore (again).
Despite this i managed to get into masters in hots 2 weeks after release (before my renewed computer ban). My mum said after 1 month ill be able to play again so i said okay and after 1 month she says i still can´t play. Why? Because starcraft is all i think off and i dont have an interest for anything else (which is complete bs, i love starcraft but i dont dream about it -.-). So 2 weeks later im writing this.
My parents still refuse to let me play any video games (my xbox got taken away as well :D). They also say that watching starcraft is the same as playing it. Then i tell them: Well watching tennis is the same as playing it then. Then they say that starcraft isnt a sport and that i should get real at which point i go on a total rage spree and yell at them for like 10 minutes straight. Now my mum said that i gotta study out of Switzerland since she cant take my mental torture anymore (actual words lol). Who the hell is torturing who here? Anyhow i´d like to here your opinions on this and i´d also love to here your stories on annoying parents so i can also feel better about myself. What´s also funny all my friends can play the whole day and mostly don´t even do sports and some of them are even overweight. Oh the irony how the intelligent people that actually do things can´t play while others can do whatever they want.
Anyhow that was my rant like i said leave what you think below and some of your experiences as well if you have any :D

Sometimes Parents that are very demanding and pushing you to study pretty good, maybe youll see that later but I can definetely see your problem. No idea what you can do except wait until you are 18 and live on your own from then on out.
Edit to the people above me: Ye, "worst parents" is not adequate here at all, but hes 16, your allowed to be stupid at 16.

My father also got really angry once or twice before he quit his job as a manager at HILTI and also hit me although i think your problem is much bigger. Must´ve been a hard childhood.

Dont be a bad kid and do what your parents tell you. Their house, their rules. If it sucks shit, save up your money and move out the minute you turn 18. Until then quit going into 'total rage spree'. Your lucky to have parents that obviously care so much about your life. Most people arent so lucky.
Also this belongs in blogs....

For 16 im actually really really smart as well as grown up. I gotta cook a lot for myself and my younger sister since my parents work all the time also i gotta clean a lot of the house myself on saturdays. And im not stupid  IQ over 140 and currently writing my maturity paper (dont know what that is in english :p) about mathematics :D probably gonna study it as well

Hm... Have fun in your studies abroad, seriously, studying "abroad" is awesome, do it! :D
Well, your parents seem to be pretty conservative (not in the political sense) and tough. SC2/Gaming seems to be the first thing that made you "rebel" against their wishes. It will get better once your a bit older, you'll argue calmer and they will get used to your hobbies... For now? Not much you can do except waiting to get 18 (or, if your really unlucky, you move out)...
I would guess you are either their only child or the oldest one? Oh, allready answered... How old is your younger sister? Your parents are in for a rough ride, girls during puberty are... "difficult" (way moreso than boys normally)...

Best not to definte yourself as 'really really smart' at the tender age of 16, it comes off as at best arrogant and at worse falsifiable : D

It actually is really important how you look upon things depending on where you live. Considering that i live in Switzerland, the country where every 2nd person has an iphone and about 70% of my class mates have their own computers (if not 2) not allowing a kid to play video games isn´t that normal

This. Not even close to the worst parents in the world and you should be lucky they even care what you are doing with your free time. If it bothers you so much suck it up and move out when you turn 18. Then do w/e you want with your own life and not listen to anyone like normal people.

You're also incredibly modest, I think thats your greatest trait. Also you have some terrible living conditions with those parents, but you don't let it hinder your performance. You're great!
