How to convince my parents to let me play online.

[Rock N Roll 33]

Unlike like other post similar to this I’m allowed to play CS just not online. I do play online behind their back but is becoming harder as I’m home alone less and when I am it’s only for like and hour so I barely have anytime to warm up for a comp. game and play a game. They also know like nothing about the game so they wouldn’t know I play online except our internet sucks (12 ping, 7 mbs up. 1 mbs down) so if we are both online doing something to slows the internet drastically. Also my PC is in my basement and I can’t have it in my room and the stair are right next to their bedroom with a motion sensor. So I’m SOL and playing with bots haze become so boring as I have like 300+ hours with just bots alone.

They think everyone online is out to get me so I need some points to help sway thier thinking.

Thanks.

EDIT: I turn 16 in June and was allowed to play online on xbox when I was like 10 and was allowed to use mic/chat but now I can't

....my question, is why do they have a motion sensor on the stairs? Have they had issues with your discipline regarding these games?

I feel like there's a lot of background with your characteristic behaviour that you're omitting that would shed light on this odd display of parenting.

This is something you should talk with your parents about.

this guy its absolutely right... and depending of where you live from, your parents got a serious and understandable reasons to not let you play CS online, CS community its extremely toxic.

ask them to sit in on an online cs:go session.
if they parent that much it should be no problem for them to monitor an online game.

I thought about doing this becuase besides casual and deathmatch most people are pretty normal and aren't completely toxic or play ear rape. At least the ones I've been in. I'd obviously do like FFA where no one talks.

This is something you should talk with your parents about.

It's mainly for if we get robbed (we have had murders come down our driveway before trying to hide out). I'd say I'm a pretty average kid and havent done any serious rebelling but like I said its not for me but for robbers.

...I feel like this is simply what they told you. Your PC is in the basement, it would be safe to presume there's additional electronic devices on the main floor/basement...had it been to prevent theft, it'd be on the doors.

Again; this is something you need to speak with your parents about. We have no idea what kind of person you are or how you behave; nor do we know why your parents restrict you from doing what you find fun.

Be a grown & responsible kid, tell them you want ot have a talk about your responsibilities and freedoms, and address the elephant in the room.

One pro life tip I can give you: compromise. There's no "i should have" your parents want to hear. What they'd be more interested in hearing is the implication that you've thought it through beyond getting what you want. i.e. "i feel like i should be able to play online because reasons". Accept what they tell you exactly the same: they have a rhyme and reason for everything they do, whether you know it or not; or even whether they're aware they do it. Romney's discussion on "known unknowns" is relevant here.

Life pro tip #2: your maturity can be accurately ascertained by how you handle news you don't want to hear. Kick & scream because they say no? You're guaranteeing they won't talk about it again. Accept defeat with dignity and respect? They'll be more likely to revisit the situation - as you obviously aren't a child.

Again: speak with your parents. There's no magic phrase that lets you do what you want.

the downside is they may figure out how much you played behind their back :P

Perhaps and I stand corrected there, however OP doesn't need OUR help. Plus, it raises questions why they won't let him play online but let him come on the PC to post this to people?

I can go on some forums, I doubt they even know what the steam forums are.

Show them the last major where NA won and focus on the tactics and strategy, not the killing. Hell; call them "frags" because "kill" sounds violent. There was a monk that went to one event a while ago because the teamwork & strategy was impressive. He didn't watch CS for the killing and shooting, they watched it for the teamwork.

Maybe you could share this passion of yours with them so they have an understanding better than "that killing game".

That's good idea. Every M rated game they have to 'approve' so they don't mind the killing or blood as the 'approved' its online interaction.

The problem with this is I'm not allowed to have internet on my PC (I'm on my mac) and like I said I'm homeschooled so I sometimes go to my moms office who has AMAZING internet (3ping 300mbs down 50 up) So I can use internet there and play online but I can't use a mic so its harder to play comp.

They have them on all the windows on the main and basement floor as well as all the exterior doors.

Tell them you want to finish a school project on poverty and sanitation. If they say they want to talk to your teacher, add me I'll have a chat.
