My parents think i have a chess addiction and want me to quit chess, is that true?

It could be worse, they could be forcing you to play chess.

Monopoly has chance. Chess doesn’t.
Sure thing, I know the good old "why chess is sport and poker is not" debate. Problem is that most people will see chess as nothing more than playing some board game either online or in some old, damp club. Probability, or chance, of him living of chess is very slim at the moment.
And now the kid thinks about quiting his actual physical sport to sitt still and play even more, that will surely show the parents the greatness of chess. What would be better is to first to listen to parents, show progress in studies, not quiting basket and then get into some chess club to show that he is serious about it.

Here is an issue I see with Chess as a sport. Chess is great as a hobby. If your kid wants to become a serious chess player, she will need to spend 12 - 13 hours of playing per day. If she is natural at it, that is great and you should definitely invest in that game.
Then at a family gathering you can boast about your child's prowess all that you want. Sadly most kids want to play because their friend is playing. This is where I think, things start going south. If the kid spends a lot of time, but isn't a natural, her dreams are going to get crushed and she would have invested a lot of time. Other sports are definitely less demanding in terms of time. Take tennis for example. You spend about 2 hours a day practicing and you can get to automatically be a better player. Any endurance related game like swimming or running you can become better through practice. The key is how much time you invest to get better.
If the kid can get better through 2 hours of time investment a day, it is worth looking into that activity. In case of chess, the kid can get better through 10 - 12 hours of practice a day.
The only master I know of who does that much chess a day is Mishra.

I mean maybe you should stop talking in forums and losing your time if you really want to become a GM. I've seen you 4 or 5 times blabbering this past month. Continue training at chess, if anything tell your parents you want to buy a history book and buy some chess book like Zurich 53, I'm sure they won't even notice in their busy lives

Are you saying Mishra is not a natural chess player?
No, I'm saying he trains for that long.

There are so many better and more financially rewarding things to do, which won't make your child ill and physically unfit.
Becoming unfit shouldn't be a problem if you exercise regularly, like going for a run every morning
I'm not planning on becoming like Mikhail Talk I just plan to become a IM or GM and I'm an introvert so yeah and to the person who said I've been talking about this alot it's because I'm worried, have alot of questions and want answers
just prove your parents you are not addicted to it and that you are still doing well in life. reading what you said that's what your parents are afraid of I think. so after all, I should not even focus on convincing them to like or hate chess (everyone has different interests)
Llama47's suggestion makes some sense but who in their right mind would give up drinking and chasing women to play chess again ?! These are the main reason that youngsters stop playing.
