Was it worth it, no...., will i do it again, probably; the reason it was for a month was cuz i did it another time which was the day the taken king came out, so it sucked when she barged in my room and immediately grounded me for a month but knowing she was mad, i knew she would make it 2 weeks.
So idk what I was thinking still but i played again the day after & the day after that which pissed off my mom to the point where she gave me 3 days with grounding, i accepted that. After about a week i start setting my alarm at 2:30 am & 3:00 am to wake me up and play before I go to school, I cant play during the weekdays so this was my only way to play unless I wanted to wait until Friday each week....so anyways, up until now i haven't been caught.
Funny thing that happened was that I woke up at 3 again (today) & as I was turning on my console & starting a mission, I had to take a piss so i sneak out of the room like a ninja (cuz im so good at that, *cough* *cough*; no i ain't) then i start hearing movement coming from my parents' room.
I finish taking a piss and so i stand by my room & i realize i can hear the hum of the console from the room & i immediately thought (*dam, this is so easy to hear, ima have to move my console next time, i dont feel like moving it cuz then I'd have to turn the console on and wait for destiny to load*) so I went in my room & locked it, turned on the tv (cuz i turned it off when I went to take a piss) and then the knocks of doom and the screams of grounding came to my door and as I turned the console off & pretended to act as I've been sleeping, i opened the door & wham she just said, "ur grounded for a month, i heard it", immediately thought (*i shouldve fkin listened to my gut feeling about moving the console*) now if u read this whole story congratulate you, now the whole reason i posted this was ask the destiny community, do u think it was worth it?
I'm a senior with decent grades, I was brought up playing video games starting with the Nintendo 64, my mom knows i love to play video games, yet whenever I want to play she's always restricting me to an hour (normally i ignore the fact that she just gave me an hour & play till she says no more; since I consider it inhuman, sometimes I get lucky with 2-3 hours. & this is on weekends only) cuz as I said previously i cant ever play on the weekdays. I heard of all ppl playing for longer & for each day, do u think i should leave the house & become like squidward & ask for "spare change" & move out of the house. Nah jk thats a "full retard"ed idea just like never going full titan, maybe I should kill my parents & play destiny to my hearts content until police find out like i heard on the news one time.
One things for sure, if my mom restricts me after i graduate, I swear to god im movin my ass to another city & renting an apartment. P.S. I commend u if u read this whole shit of a story, so ima ask it again, Do u think it was worth it? What should i do when trials comes out....Should I continue abiding by my moms rule of balancing thing when i go to school for 7 hours, do work for more than half that time, get home, do hw for another 3 hours, eat, sleep, then repeat for 4 days, then on Friday-Sunday play about 1-3 hours each day.
Edit: i made paragraphs, r u English teachers happy?
Edit: I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN ENGLISH CLASS AGAIN, LET ME CLARIFY, I'LL TRY HARDER TO WRITE LIKE A PROPER PERSON SHOULD WHEN I'M TYPING A STORY
Edit: to answer some of the same questions, I had gotten the console as a present from my aunt but it recently broke and so my mother bought it again for a cheap price, so it's not like i can just take it away
Edit: almost 500 posts, i gotta admit, these types of topics gets more attention than topics about the game....

You're a senior, and shit like "grounding" is still a thing for you? Seriously? You need to move the -blam!- out now.
-
Listen to your mommy little guy
-
A senior... And you still get grounded?
-
My parents used to be pretty strict like that, I wasn't even allowed to play Pokemon as a kid
-
Dude get more sleep, get more school! The games aren't going anywhere. Don't screw up your life on account of some pixels!
-
There is a better video game than Destiny.... It's called real life.
-
I love reading stories like this about ultra strict parents. Being that strict raising a kid is a poor way to raise a child and it makes me laugh. Move out honestly. I was out of the house at 18 and when you realize how much more freedom you have you will be perpetually in a state of pure bliss.

There is only 1 reasonable course of action,dispose of your family members,collect life insurance money and play for the rest of your life un-disturbed

But Mom, I wasn't playing, what you heard was it doing an automatic download..honest... 3am is a silly time to play before school however. But then, if your grades are good then what's the issue? Kudos to your mom for being consistent though. Do you know why she wants to restrict your playing? Does she think you are going to turn into some psycho raging killer? If it is just about school then maybe see if you can play longer as long as your grades don't drop. Try and come to some compromise, which is what parenting teenagers is all about. My kids played computer games when they were younger, and still do! They turned out ok 😏 But then, I understood the game playing mentality since I have played since... Pong! Have you tried finding a game you can both play that she would enjoy? Change her into a gamer as it may help her to understand where you are coming from. Also, there are plenty of studies that show playing computer games is beneficial to concentration and social skills. Good luck Guardian...

My mom used to be like that I guess she just accepted that I'll play whenever I want and I've accepted that I'm going to school no matter how tired I am
-
Your mother is looking out for you, personally I think she is doing the right thing.
-
Thank you for your contribution of tears
-
Not much self restraint.
-
I play 12 hours on weekends and my parents don't care. I'm a sophomore
-
When I came home from college for Breaks. My mom used to still get mad at me for staying up late on PS4. But I did it every night anyways and over time my mom just stopped caring haha.
-
Sucks for u
-
The fu#% is wrong with you kid....
-
Unlucky dude. I can only play on weekends too. Just have to suck it up
-
Well man when you get back on (looks like your on xb1) I can help you with the raid and carry you through, I am willing to be a nice guy and do that for you when your back man.
-
Watch out, we got a badass over here.
-
Your grammar has nothing to do with us being internet English teachers. It's the fact we got a migraine trying to read it.
-
You honestly can't get anything done in an hour a day

Edited by CapoBlue: 10/19/2015 10:22:03 AMMy mom would make me go get her slipper just to beat me with it if I acted out. Then I turned 17 and she stopped but now she just yells a lot... which is worse. All you gotta do is deal with it, go by their rules and get a job so you can move out when possible so you can make your own rules. In the end they are your parents and they only do what they think is best. You have to love 'em because no matter what they will always love you.
-
A senior in high school. Nah. Wasn't worth it. Sleep is better but I can understand why you did it.
-
Lolllllll

Damn I just read all that lol. Your old enough to make your own decisions. I wouldn't take advise from kids on this site
