Parents persuade me to finally play my PC?

Well, a little over a month ago I asked a question related to this. So my parents took my gaming pc away from me in the middle of December and only gave me a laptop for school because my oral grades were very bad and this is my second year doing it. But now I have improved my grades and the written grades were actually quite good from the start. But now my parents don't even want to give me limited access to the PC, but only at the end of the school year. I can't understand that because the bad grades are only oral and therefore playing has nothing to do with them. In the beginning it might have been a punishment, regardless of whether it had something to do with it, but now that I've improved and my parents are no longer angry, I don't understand the punishment anymore.

So that was the background story. The real question is whether someone can tell me how I can persuade my parents to give me back the PC. Maybe someone understands why they continue and can explain it to me.

If your parents think this is a sensible educational measure, there's little you can do except talk to them quietly. It's hard to bribe them so you don't have many options.

I still don't know the exact connection between you, your parents and your poor school grades.

That's why I'm here on the side of your Eltis for the time being and think it's great if THEY alternatively "only" provided you with a usable office book for now.

I'm on the side of your Eltis (your question), and thus also out.

(Already quite fat-necked in the thought that others have an office book…

Oral grades are the most unfair in the entire school system anyway. If I had something to say, I would abolish oral grades entirely or only allow them to stand between two grades and even then you should still be able to take a semester exam for the better grade.

I know but that won't help you. But your parents should understand you. It's not like that you only have 5s and DE 6s because you gamble day and night. Your good grades in writing should be proof enough. Your parents were school students too, so they should understand. Talk to them in peace. By the way, I'm 34 and if I had children, I would definitely act differently from your parents.

I can say that this is a very bad way of bringing up children. Contact your school social worker, if you have one, or a trust teacher, etc. They can give you good advice.

Not if he has paid / bought the PC himself. Then it's his property. Parents can't take that away either.

Be

You probably don't think yourself that he bought it yourself

Pocket money, money gifts? There should be.

Be

Sure it can be but the "statistical" probability is rather low and I think he would have written it if he bought it himself that would be my first argument in such a case

ju

Yes, I think. There are also young people who save and or go to work. I don't think so.

Be

You are the type that nobody in class liked 😪

ju

Oh, I had a lot of friends. But of course, if someone like you has never worked, he doesn't think so of others.

You are less awesome than you think I hope you are aware of that haha

It's hard for me to say something objectively, especially since I don't know the background and you're already repeating the school year. After all, you can be online via smartphone and laptop. There are also parents who cut the Internet. Admittedly, as a method of education, this is brutal and not good for a long time. Maybe you should try to talk about why you have repeated it or why your oral grades are generally bad for you? Are your parents' expectations too high ("He should go to the gym and become a doctor / architect")? Don't you feel like going to school and would you rather do an apprenticeship? Are you just loud and unfocused in class?

It goes without saying that your parents generally condemn shooting games, which is a bit behind the moon these days. That they put a stop to you so that you don't just gamble in front of the PC 12 hours a day is also clear. However, they also have to show you alternatives and / or take time for you. Locking the device away for six months is in any case very exaggerated.

I save people every day. What are you doing crazy?

He's writing from his PC. So something that was probably left to him, dedicated to him, probably his property - who bought it doesn't matter - from that point on, pretty much all children and young people could tend to be viewed as having no possessions in almost all cases. But that's exactly the problem. There must be security for children and young people; also security about your own property. Because: "The principle of legal security is a core content of the rule of law principle. Legal security is based on the requirement of clarity, stability, predictability and guarantee of legal norms as well as the specific legal obligations and authorizations linked to them. It is part of the elementary basis of a constitutional social order."

Without security in this regard, he is exposed to the arbitrariness of his parents. The extent to which this clouds the basic mood in connection with a taken possibility of escapism (which does not have to be negative) might be worth a thought - especially in times of a pandemic. I fear that tribulation is not a good starting point when it comes to academic success.

I doubt tbh I don't know what concerns you, you little internet youth fire brigade Rambo
