No, I'm not a 700 or whatever, I don't use this account, if I was, then why would I even care about this situation.
This is what happened to me. I'm a 12 year old who loves chess and I am obsessed with the game, and not to mention, my parents are very unreasonable. So I played a game of chess somewhere in the public while sitting down, and my parents were busy doing something. My dad came over to me and said, "Son, get off Chess." and I replied with "Ok". But I wanted to finish the game, and that's what I did. A minute later my dad came back with the traumatic news "Son! you're grounded for a week". But no, this isn't where it ends, I didn't think it was fair for him to do that, so the next few days I went into the bathroom, locked the door, and played Chess on my phone. I got caught, and my dad banned me completely. Now I feel like a lifeless loser, and am really hurting right now. Please, someone, what should I do?

Maybe if you didn’t lock yourself in the bathroom to play chess you could play
also I really don’t get wat so many people have against chess
I hope its not addictive you may ask them to allow you to play chess for an hour or two only. I hope you get out of this mess soon, I am 21, reverse of your age, but i can imagine the sadness you felt when you were grounded. Stay strong, we all have to.

it's your fault: listen to your parents!
it's their job to prepare you for life...
you're wasting all your time playing games, so get your act together:
6 years may seem like a long time, but it's not...
don't you think they know what being a kid was like? every adult remembers & they know how hard it will be for you if you strike out on your own completely unprepared!
take advantage of this FREE house you live in to get good grades & make some money!
work now! play once you can afford to!

Thanks man
This is dumb. You’re 12. Listen to your parents. You say this isn’t fair, but you know what really isn’t fair? Asking a child that you’ve cared and provided for for 12 years not listen to you, then, when you ground them, you find them sneaking off with a phone you probably bought in a bathroom you own inside a house you own to play something you’ve barred them from.
Yes, it’s unreasonable, I’ll give you that. I’m sure they have their reasons, though. And if don’t, then, I sympathize (I’ve been there) but you just gotta deal and move on.

Its just another immature person seeking attention.
Lol, ok. The mere fact that you say I'm "Another immature person seeking attention" kind of says a lot about you. I'm just gonna close the thread, since I was looking for advice, not hateful comments, or comments reflecting back on what I did.
You can’t close threads yourself, you’ll have to message a mod.
yeah sometimes it may seem unfair but parents just want whats best so just make them happy

I think your father’s response was overly harsh- much like most of the commentary here. Hopefully this blows over soon and you will be allowed to play again.

Maybe because spending half an hour and screaming nooooooo when you lose gives it away XD

reality check - you're 12 and not rated very high. probably shouldn't spend too much time on it given the poor return on investment.
Should’ve just listened to your parents. I think banning you may have been strict, but you should’ve just not played for a week. I also get you’re only 12 though, and at that age, you will make mistakes.
Maybe wait awhile, and give your parents an apology.
Also, I’m not one to crush dreams, but most people will not be able to make chess a career. It’s something you can have fun with and enjoy, but making a living off if it is not very likely :/

your parents provide you with FREE everything! they love you but you must understand that they are responsible for preparing you for living without their help!
be grateful for their support! respect their boundaries & rules, as they are designed for your guidance & protection!
chess tournaments are expensive! it will cost multiple thousands of dollars in entry fees, lodging, gas & food to POSSIBLY acquire a probably worthless title! who will pay for all of this? to what purpose?
if you are serious about chess then keep it as your life hobby: but trying to somehow make it your main source of income will almost certainly lead you to utter ruin!

It's not that my parents are angry about me being sneaky anymore, I've already learned my lesson anyways, I just want to convince my parents to give me Chess back.
