Well I am in my definition of the word a gamer, a person who plays many varieties and types of games, video games, board games, soccer, etc. I enjoy my life, i get good grades in school i get excessive (i play soccer), and get a fair share of video games in also. Well my parents think i need to think about how i am using my time and money, they don't want me playing too much during the week, and also don't want me to "WASTE" my money on video games. I know that they have my best intrest in mind, but this is my personality. What is a good compromise, how many hours a week should i play and how should i limit my money output so that i don't "WASTE" my money. I don't think games are a waste because they bring me happiness and let me enjoy time with friends all over the world. What do you guys think? I appreciate your feedback.
Question about my life as a gamer.

I am not qualified to discuss your life as a gamer. As a parent I will pass on something my father used to say, with a gleam in his eye.
"Honor thy father and thy mother... That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."
You may play with us but you live with them. Consider well your priorities.

So long as you are developing personal interaction skills with other human beings (tact, wit, and a comfortable conversational skillset) I don't see the problem with playing excessive games; I did it. I really don't think you're at the stage in your life where you need to worry about wasting money. Whatever money you make now is probably insignificant to what you'll make as a professional should you go to college or enter the workforce after high school. If you start dumping your cash into a 401k now you'll have maybe 6 million dollars instead of 4 when you retire at 70, so not a big deal, lol.
Respect your parents as best you can while doing what makes you happy but strike a balance with the real world and your gaming world.

Well, believe all or most of us have some problems with our parents,but believe me they do this because they love us.Most of them don't use computers and internet and don't know what the word gamer means.They think that you waste money on games because we as teenagers or kids have other activities to do.Don't stay all the day in front of the computer.There is a life out there 
.BUT ,and this is the main part of my thread,I personally had same problems.I discussed it with them and they understood that I want to spend some time playing computer games and they also bought me the Xbox 360 (woot), they refused to buy me before because they thought it was a waste of money.To make a long story short, try to speak with them and discuss your problems and thoughts.You don't have only online-friends but also parents who love you and want to spent some time with you as well.I hope I helped you
