It's the holidays in Australia now, and I'm not allowed to play games due to my asian parents . So that's no games during weekdays, weekends, or holidays. I'm 13 years old and I'm in year 8. It's not like I have to prepare for the HSC this soon or anything. I go to a Selective School I once created a thread like this a few months before, but I was sometimes allowed to play during the holidays.Now it's never. Who else has a crap life? PLEASE DO NOT LIE WHEN VOTING!I WANT THE TRUTH, SO I CAN SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS A CRAP LIFE!THANK YOU!

Whenever, they don't care, I'm 18 though it's not like they supervised previously. Tbh, I don't think they know I still live here.

Until my parents go "DO SOMETHING ELSE" which is usually rare. I hear Australia is strict when it comes to games.

above , a petition has recently been signed with tons of signatures, asking for a R18+ rating.I think we might have it soon. It looks like someone's lied with the 'never' option voted

I'll be going into 8th grade after the summer (american schooling -.- I wanna try it like AUS, but don't really know how its different in terms of breaks/vacations), and frankly you should be allowed to play games as soon as you're done w/ all of your school work for the day(projects(though these don't have to be finished right away of course, just stay a bit ahead of your schedule), homework, studying(which I still can't do for the life of me...as in studying has never helped me at all),etc. And on vacation? You have some seriously strict parents. Why are they even letting you on basil right now btw? o-O

Hmmm Australia, Year 10. During the school term, I'm only allowed to play fridays + weekend. Holidays however, its anytime I want, as long as its reasonable (like, not over 12 hrs nonstop etc). Parentals have been stricter in the past, but theyve loosened up perhaps due to an exellent midyear report :D

My parents really don't care what I do with my time. They would prefer me inside playing video games rather then getting drunk and partying like my sister.

Where's the I don't need permission option? I don't need to do homework to be able to play games, but I don't play games anymore so it's not a big deal for me.
