Also TC, I'd pay attention in church; nothing is more comforting than what you get out of Christianity.
And sorry about the night thing; I wasn't sure.
im not saying christianity is worng or anything but i just am a person of science and really really don't believe in it its just another thing my parents make me do
Christianity and science actually go wonderfully hand-in-hand.
I'm sorry about your parents. There are still plenty of parents who's opinion of video games are still strongly rooted in the media coverage of Mortal Kombat from the 90s. And even though he was laughed out of town, people like Jack Thompson and their appearances on television as video game "experts" still sits in the mind of some of the more less informed people out there.
My advice? You aren't going to change your parents mind about video games. Sorry. But since they already think games are going to steal your soul and turn you into a delinquent, you should counter that with other things.
How are your grades? You should make sure your grades are good before you make such demands. Parents aren't going to spring for something they think will have a negative effect on school if you already need to improve your math grade.
What have you done for THEM lately? Go rake some leaves, or clean out the garage, or scrub the toilets. Prove you deserve to have them break out the credit card. I know it's unfair, but you're a kid. And as much as you hate it, parents are the boss... for now anyway.
Sit them in front of classic mode, and let them take it for a spin themselves. I remember my own mom never played video games. One day I handed her a game boy with Final Fantasy Adventure on it. (Must have been 7th or 8th grade.) I didn't see my game boy again for days. After she completed the game, she handed back my game boy and said "This is why I don't play video games. They're too addictive! I get sucked in."
If none of this works. I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe you can trade your parents for more liberal ones?
I disagree that this will work. If your parents are so simple minded to just believe that "ALL GAMES ARE BAAAD," then I don't think you'll be able to change their minds. They're wrong, but what can you do? But by all means, do nice things for them. If it doesn't get you Minecraft, it will at least improve the family harmony?
Also, your friends don't think you're poor. They're just grabbing at any weak spot they can just to be mean to you. Kids are monsters. Find better friends.
I'm typing very quickly, as my parents will probably soon work out that I'm not at bed. I don't, unforuntately, have time for perfect grammar. Please read the rest of the thread, before you begin to make judgements on me. If you really call b******* (no need for bad language), then I'm not asking you to stay. Thanks for checking out the thread, bye.
Maybe your parents are more than strict. Is there no anonymous youth phone-counselling service in Great Britain?
>im in all the top sets and an overachiever at school (one of the best in the class not to brag)
>LACK OF GRAMMAR.
>I call ********.

It'd be better for everyone involved if you took the time anyway. But you're right; people there's no need for any language like this, if anyone is trolling, it's the people who use that language.
Also, when you think about it, it really isn't good that you're disobeying your parents like this though.
I would have to say just pirate the game.Usually i would not supports pirating games in any way,but if this is giving you so much trouble in your life with your social life and such.It could be an option.
Mod edit: Please do not advocate game piracy here.
If you are being honest, I feel very sorry for you having parents who won't let you get a fun 10 dollar game..
....but...
I find it incredibly hard to believe that EVERYONE at your school plays this game, and that EVERYBODY is making fun of you for not having a game. You said you can never see your friends anymore.. Highly doubtful. If you don't ever see your friends based on a video game, then your friends have to be very overweight from not doing ANYTHING. I'm sorry if you're telling the truth, but you seem to be lying to absolutely everybody just to get out of paying 10 bucks for a game that's well worth the money. I've seen your YouTube profile on another user's name, also struggling to get the game..
If you are telling the truth, you really need to find new friends, or have a pretty good talk with EVERYONE in your life and tell them to grow up..
regardless, im calling bull.
EDIT AFTER PREVIEWING AND SEEING LAST POST:
Please, please, please people stop accusing me of trolling and being mean. I swear on it, I'm not trolling! I know it is wrong to disobey my parents like this. But everything I've ever wanted, regardless of how bad it is, they have actually said no too. They forgot my birthday, they've never said "I love you.." and they just never let me have a lot of fun. Sorry for hijacking these forums. Just I don't know what to do. Not having Minecraft is wrecking my school life (everyone is taking the micky of me) and leading to a overall problematic life. By the way Kiddalee, what do you mean by maybe your parents are more than strict?
I'm actually starting to believe you a little... I'll send you a pm...

And since when is this game realistic? Last I checked , the world wasn't run by exploding green penises.

They don't say they love you and they forgot your birthday, even when you do all these chores and are great at school?
I know; I am. That's why I'm asking what that means.[/quote]
Micky in British Slang terms means having a joke at the expense of someone else like if someone was to insult you and have a laugh about it :sad.gif:[/quote]
He is referring to himself. I neither know what "taking the micky" means. I assume they are ridiculing you in some way.
Anyway; you can be grateful for that in a few/couple of years you will never have to associate with your parents ever again. As for your problem I'd say call Child Services. Sounds to me your under some form of child abuse. I'd gift you the game myself but I'm over-budget for last month.
"Taking the micky" is what British people use to put nicel: ridiculing someone. I haven't got a couple of years, as it is 18 in Britain before you're your own responsibility and not that of your parents (five more years roughly). Thanks for the thought, nice to know some people care here on the forums.
Send me a PM on Saturday and I'll see what I can do. Compared to my friends I'm rather wealthy. (Unlike them I bow before the corporate machine and become a cog in the wheel)
