My parents think my EVE friends are nothing but losers and so am I for playing an online game. So I guess moving out is the way forward. IGÇÖve left my character with a year's training and that's that. Would have liked to play longer but **** those ignorant fools.
Shame I can't pod them
See you soon o7 |

While they may be misguided about some things, never forget that they love you and want only good things for you and your life ahead. If they didn't, they wouldn't care what you did with your time.
Good luck.

There are some of us who aren't weirdo losers with too much time on our hands.
I mean, I'm one of the weirdo losers, but we kind of make the game go round for the normal people.

Define weirdo loser.
Personally 8hr/day TV watching, vapid socialite, and entitled jacknapes that you see in your local mall seem like a more typical loser than the average EVE player.
Also tell your parents that people who list EVE online experience in their resume have actually gotten jobs out of it. Quite regularly in fact. Many aspects of this game mimic real world skillsets and shockingly enough plenty of companies out there are figuring this out. |

Listen to your parents.
They care more about you than any one here on these forums or in the game ever could.
You are part of them, we're imaginary pixels who want to use you for our own benefit.
To your parents: Your success is theirs.
To us: Your success is our entertainment.
You're young so the part of your brain that handles abstract reasoning isn't fully developed yet, so you WILL NOT understand. You're incapable of seeing the reality of what's at play, and all you see is the sliver of what your ability to perceive lets you see.
Acquiesce to the ones who have your true best interests at heart.
Good Luck, and know to ignore their advice now will only hurt you in the later. |

Moving out of your parents house is an important and positive move in any young person's life.
Talking about how its a shame you cant kill them is.... less positive.

As disturbing as it is to point out... Parents often do not have their childs best interests at heart. I know we like to hope(especially when we are the parents) that this is true but a not so insignificant minority of parents have other priorities in life above that of their children. This has been proven and played out in countless studies and general social common sense.
Additionally from a psychological standpoint you want your children to challenge, question, and develop their own opinions of things.. even including your rules and manner of raising them. Note this doesn't mean stomp all over your parents. It just means if you set a curfew for your daughter and she asks why have an answer ready that is more honest than "just because I said so". Kids challenge us because they subconsciously are learning HOW TO BE PARENTS from us. Weird but true heh.
All relationships, even parental, are give and take.. we learn together how to react and grow socially. Dogmatic absolute situations often lead to hurt, misunderstanding, and lack of social openness.
/edit stupid me hit the button by mistake To make a final comment dont ever assume age denotes ability to understand. My cat understands social situations. So does your kid. Even babies learn to identify social behavior. What our youngsters can't do is reference our insane amount of MISTAKES that we call experience. Understanding without experience is a dangerous thing.. its our job to see they understand the gravity of choice... not to make choice for them. |

Leave it to a goon to actively try to destroy a child's life with misinformation and "gotcha-esque" commentary.
*edit* if you're under 24, you don't understand. Don't worry kid, I use to be your age and think I knew everything too. Words are great and all but the world isn't going to conform to whatever cage of logic you create for it.
Existence is beyond your understanding. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be on the path to enlightenment. |

Funny how people assume everyone they dont agree with is somehow younger and never apparently have any children.
The kind of misinformation that a parent has an automatic right to micromanage a childs life is mentally insane. We guide. We teach. We warn. Automatically assuming you know best always and forever without fail is a surefire way to lead your child down dangerous paths. It's a cheap dominance trait. Does a child know more about life than we do as parents? No. They havent experienced life yet in any volume yet to allow them to know. Does this mean they cant understand the concepts? No. Does this mean they have no right to question? Hell no. There is a fine line between being a parent and being a warden.
As to parents not valuing their children as number 1 priority.. well I guess this is just a factor of education or lack there of. This is a fact. A significant majority of young parents actually find their children a burden to their lives. Mostly due to rushing into it to meet fake social needs or general lack of understanding of what being a parent means. Want a brutal example? One of my coworkers has never said a kind word about his son in 12 years. He does all the right parent things(school, sports, social events) but he never mentally wants to be there. The reason? He never wanted children. He socially caved to his wifes wishes because "happy wife happy life and I can deal with it for 18 years". Stop pretending every family is a fairy tale of perfection and realize we are all a big pile of screwed up trying to figure out each other as human beings. |

My legal rights and responsibilities of guardianship beg to differ with you on a lot of that.
And to be clear, I don't presume to know anything about you beyond what you've posted in this thread , I was just going for levity so chill out mate , it's nothing personal.

Soft skills are important; Eve certainly allows people to develop their leadership skills, organisational skills, social skills and team skills; all of which translate well into real life.
My relationship with my parents improved no end when I moved out; but don't do it in anger, talk it through with them, and make sure that you can actually afford to.
Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Eh Ralph I'm Canadian and quite impossible to anger no matter what tone my post seems like :).
I'm also a bit of an ass and love debates.
Legal rights though are variable.. we generate them when some bright jacknape does something so terrible or stupid that the rest of us attempt to make every other idiot not do that thing :D. |

All those years you've mentioned your parents considered you and your friends as loosers. But you decided to leave just now. Why not just leave parents and stay within game. |

Your parents are right - go out into the world and enjoy. MMOs are for oldsters who's wives are sound asleep at 9pm and who have kids who are old enough that they no longer want to be in the same room as you. |

Virtual friends are not friend the comrade for the common good. The will past and move on like you are going to do good or bad its a way humans do. Your parents are concerned and thats a sign of your problems. Virtual friends are not the same as "real friends" Unless those friends can visit you in real life. Then thats the way it needs to be.
Parents have there reason to concerned. This means like people say already you need to balance life. (virtual and non virtual). I think if you grow up and earn your own income and have house perhaps wife and a kid you know what i mean by then, but for now just obey your parents. And go out more. Trust me you frontal lobe its not develop inn off to judge how it needs to be. For now it take some time for ( puberty) to grown the frontal lobe. Not hating you its a fact. Sorry. |

It's important to remember that when it comes down to it, no matter how much time and effort we sink into it, EVE is only a game. Don't let it get in the way of your real life.
Saying that, the friends you make while playing can certainly be real friends.
Play responsibly. :) |

Only retirees with solid pensions, or enviable incomes in royalties from a life's work should play EVE. You can tell you're one of these by:
a.) Owning a LazyBoy.
b.) Owning a room to put the LazyBoy IN.
c.) Your car is paid for.
d.) Nobody asks your opinion about anything anymore.
If you fit the above criteria, not only is it cool for you to play EVE, it's cool for you to act like you have this HUGE epeen, know who the only really good bands are, and be assured how you dress is the way everyone should dress, only they haven't figured that out yet.
If you say "my parents" in relation to your gaming activity, maybe you should listen to them and do get some balance in your life. This includes:
a.) Spend more time outdoors than you do gaming online.
b.) At least try to have some sort of relationship with someone of the opposite gender (that has no sexual component to it.)
c.) Be involved in learning how to do something normal people just don't do...like pinhole cameras.
d.) READ BOOKS.
And, if your parents criticize the time you spend online and who you spend it with, don't claim they're calling you "a bunch of losers" unless they actually use those words. "My parents disapprove...." Is much better and speaks more highly of YOU.
