o_O. Why do people never seem to grasp that yelling at your parents is not the way to go?

Ok one second, out of curiosity I checked the age on your profile, says you were born in 1990 making you about 19. Is this you real age, because if so...WHAT THE FUCK?! GET A JOB AND MOVE THE FUCK OUT!

You are not being a bad Christian for wanting a M rated game. The bible said nothing about it.
"Thou shall not kill"- I dont think god ment that for video-games, but im not god so i dont know

You should ask one of the pastors about it and if they are on your side have him/her talk to there parents.

Same thing went on with me so I waited till I was 15, asked nicely to get M rated games, and the only thing I can't get now is GTA. :p

Know what? Just get a job, move into an apartment or room with a friend at school (you go to college now?), and get the hell out of there. It'll be the best decision you ever make in your life.

And the Escapist Community is already bitching on page 1, no surprise. It is almost laughable how the simplest of concepts escape you retards. Even before the edits you can easily infer some things about the relationship with their parents that some of you are missing. Let me spell it out for you pricks.

1. This isn't about the fucking video game
Obviously this is an ongoing long term issue with the way his parents react. People don't get upset over stupid things like not getting what they want for Christmas. This probably has more to do with the fact that the parents are acting like children. Thinking that the best way to deal with a problem is to ignore it, and placing double standards.

2. They obviously asked what he wanted for Christmas
Why is it so hard to believe that maybe there was a reason he was telling his parents a list of expensive things he wanted one month before a major gift giving holiday. Feeling stupid now, you should.

3. Learn the child labor laws of your country
I am so sick and tired of this damn "get a job" thing that people do at the < 16s. You know what most states child labor laws say: no job until 14, job choice heavily restricted until 16, less restricted until 18. Even then there is transportation to worry about and the fact that some parents do not want their children to earn money. This loosens their grip on their children, and some control freak parents will actually fight it. So shut the fuck up when you haven't done the research. Seriously paper routes, do you think they actually still have kids delivering those on bikes? Fucking retards.

4. Just because somebody has it worse doesn't mean somebody's situation isn't bad
My fucking god people. Yes, someone somewhere in the world is worse off than this kid, a lot of people are, but that doesn't mean that this is a healthy parent child relationship. You can say that about anyone in the fucking West. What's that? You lost your job, your wife of 20 years left you, your kids were raped by a gang and committed suicide and now you're an alcoholic? Oh well that doesn't matter, because somebody I don't know on the other side of the world is worse off than you are.

Fucking pricks.

Sorry but the OP apparently is 19. More than enough age to have a part time job at least.

Unless the Op lied on her profile if...

Apologize to them and do whatever the fuck they tell you to do. That always has worked fro me when my parents got mad at me. Eventually the tension settles down and you have a chance to calmly talk about it.

But I really don't think you should ask this here. You're probably going to get some "crazy Christians" comments.
Here's one crazy comment from a Christian; OP's 19, so he should be able to get the game regardless of rating; and again, Op's 19, why is he living with his parents and at this time obviously not going to college or anything like that?

I'm just going to guess that she lied. It really isn't that hard. The escapist is the only site where I use my real birthday, because it is the only site where I don't get benefits for being over 18. You do possibly have a point. Maybe I did jump the gun in assuming that she lied about her age.

Or, you're right, she needs to get a job, get an apartment and get a life. If you're 19 and you still live with your parents like this, you are a fucking loser. However I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt right now and just assuming that she is lying about her age.

Your parents provide you with food, shelter, and the clothes off your back. Be a little more grateful and show them some respect.

Welcome to the Escapist; this comment is wrong. Trust me.

It's a matter of principle: we figured it out. We're concentrating on the subject at hand; he asked us what he should do, and why his parents are acting as they did. We gave him the answer he wanted. While there are some good points you've brought up in your post, there is much we already understand that you state in a rather impolite manner. I reiterate; never call the Escapist Community retarded.

It's too late for you now. You needed to assert your dominance from a young age, now they have you trained like a puppy, and have in turn trained themselves that they they are they are the masters. Accept your fate, as their kind cannot be changed by force or common sense.

Actually I don't really care if you still live at your parents house at 19 or 24.(30 is kinda pushing...really) Living alone isn't easy and at that age you are probably juggling college and something that resembles to a job.

Unless you have a boy/girlfriend to share a flat or friends. If not...living at your parents house isn't that bad. I miss those days. I didn't have to cook, clean the house, pay bills, know how to work a washing machine, remenber to buy food...regurlaly, buy cloth...


But there is no excuse to be 19 and have NO job! Even cleaning stairs is a job...no excuse.

Here's my suggestion:

move out if you can, maybe even move in with a friend who's moved out if you can, and stop going to church if you don't want to, do this a soon as possible.

trust me, no good comes from having jerky parents, no matter what parents say, it doesn't matter if they're military, overly religous, a part of some gang, or any of that sort of thing.

I had a would-be Nazi for a step-dad, lost half my childhood to that bastard, if you'll pardon my french.

I probably didn't make it clear that I didn't mean the whole community. The people who that comment replied to probably wont see it anyway. You know:

The people who look for new comments, take a snipe at the OP, then never look at the thread again, and finally repeat.

It's these people, who make inflammatory comments then leave when the OP is trying to explain themselves (this case in edit form) while trying to maintain a moral high ground. These people bug the fuck out of me. You want me care to about your opinion on a matter, make more than one post showing that you are interested in discussion, instead of OP sniping.

I guess that's what I really wanted to say: OP sniping bugs the fuck out of me.

its post like these that make me happy that i grew up in a rich household and even when i was very young (like 13 or 14 years old young) me and my parents would watch stuff that was rated R together or even let me see movies that had porn in them and even encouraged free thinking and disagreeing with them if i thought they were wrong

my parents were cool

ot:well since the whole "you are not a good christian" card was played your fucked, religious people know no logic and cannot be reasoned with

good luck

Well, taking in that sinced you stormed out and cried, have a good amount of misspellings (Possible typos so i'm gonna let it slide) and lost your cool so quickly, i'll take it that you are either extremely young or extremely young in mind.

You could try talking it out rather than running off and whining on the internet, or you could try getting a job other than lawn mowing (Seeing as people fear your mowing tactics).
Either way you should smooth it out with your parents.
