I'm a very high achieving 15 year old guy. I have only really gotten A's even when I don't try and rarely a single B in the year. I wake up at around 6:50 for school and am back at home around about 5:00pm. I spend an hour and fifteen minutes chilling with my friends on the bus, on my way home.
I enjoy video editing, computer programming, making music on my launchpad and playing computer games as my "Computer Hobbys" I don't really play violent computer games, the worst thing I do is Minecraft PvP, which is hardly violent.
Outside of my computer, I play guitar(Grade 7), Drums(Grade 3), I play rugby in the winter and Cricket in the summer (A little obsessively I will admit ) as well as listening to music and other "Teen" things.
Midweek I can use the computer from around an hour to maybe four hours once a midweek. At the weekends I probably use the computer for maybe five hours in total. My problem is that my parents think I spend this time exclusively playing minecraft and therefore think I'm addicted and are looking to "Press Charges"
I probably during the week at the most spend 2 hours playing MC and at the weekend 4 hours. The rest of that time I spend video editing, either for myself or friends or coding in python or HTML.
They are looking to limit my time to at the most 2 hours for everything both midweek and at the weekends. They have really been "Studying" this, both reading very biased articles on the internet and informative magazines ( that are hardly as bad ) My problem is that if this change were to take place my new £740 computer would be a waste and many of my creative outlets (Coding, video editing, etc.) would have to stop.
I can find no way to negotiate with them. I need something that would, rather simply, blow them away and release their "Vice-Like Grip"
Thank you!
