They try to tell me that there's something wrong with me because I like playing video games and playing on my computer.
Some people can't understand why other people enjoy doing what they do.

hack it. I could find a way to get in for you and then you could play wow all you want. and when you say your computer did you pay for it with money you saved up IF yes to that then when you hack it change the password to somethign they would never be able to get into.
Or if you want easier make them pay Start bringing in Ds on the report card drop off the Rugby team sit in your room watching tv only come out to eat and drink and bathroom breaks completely ignore your parents make them feel like they are &*!@. Its according to how your parrents are to how this works they would take you to a psyciatist which you can tell them what your parrents did to you and they will say your parents are wrong IF that is key wordThere has to be something you're not telling us. You must not be doing something they want you to do and thus they blame wow as the reason you aren't doing it, whether or not that's true. So what is it they want you to do? you did nothing wrong IF you still bring home Bs like you use to and IF you still do all your chores then they definatly %^&*ed up somewhere. or your parents will give in. Friend did this parents gave him his PC back in a week.
And why do I right this out because when I was in 8th grade I was very bad at history I mean really bad D- if that every semester from 6th through 8th grade well my Parents made a deal with me that if I could bring home a 100 I would get back my Playstation. well I did and they still didn't give back my old playstation so by the next semester I had a 22 and kept a 22 in that class for 3 semesters my parents were so mad I thought they would turn blue when they sent me to the guidence cousiler I told him what my parents did he sent a note home saying that it was my parents fault for giving me a promise and breaking it. I brought that grade back up when I got back my Playstation and actualy made a c- parents never took my Playstation away again. and I never droped below a C again.

That's some of the worst advice I've ever heard. Just suck up to them for a month or so and they'll probably get off your case. Like montezuma said, I'm pretty certain there's a detail your not telling us.

Tell them you need the computer for work. Tell them they do not have the right to stop you from engaging in something which is less medically dangerous than what most teenagers engage in. You could also go out on the pull, bring
loads
of girls back and made
loads
of noise (You know what type I mean) Or bring drugs/fake drugs home and tell them that you are doing what they wanted you to do anyway.

Quite honestly, I'd explain the situation to them upfront. If they still didn't accept it, at least ya tried. I have a C- average, failing one class, and still have (most of) my WoW time. And WoW is a ton better for you to be doing than anything most other teens are...

I think it depends on your parents. Sometimes there is something you can do, sometimes there isn't.
Personal experience- I, as an adult, had my mother go into a room where I was storing some things when i first moved accross country, and throw out every gaming book, horror novel, halloween costume, board game and replica weapon I had there...because GOD TOLD HER TO.
So, I kind of had to bite the bullet on that one- can't really make an argument against divine instruction.
Are your parents pretty reasonable usually, or are they nuts? If they're reasonable about things, there might be some legitimate reason for them to be concerned. Without knowing the situation first hand, I couldn't say who's right. Maybe try to look at it from their perspective, see if there are some area where you can agree with them, and see if they will meet you in the middle. Getting hysterical is definitely the best way to have your wow-rights revoked permanently.
If they're nuts, then there is really nothing you can do but keep your head down and wait for college. Can't argue with the insane. Just make sure you're calm enough to decide if they are ACTUALLY nuts, or just nuts in the way that most teenagers think their parents are.
Good Luck :)
