Subject: is there something wrong with this?

Violence is not the answer, it's the question. The answer is YES!

i very nearly skipped a grade, i jsut happen to be really young for my grade. my birthday is october the 27th 1991, and i started school at the age of three, jsut before i turned four. but i almost skipped a grade in grade 2, but my mom wouldnt let me,(thought i wasnt organized enough) even though the school thought i was

if she let me, id be fifteen years old at this instant and in grade 12

and according to her i have to go to school today even though buses are cancelled due to fog, and im a bus student. if i want halo 3, i have to be at school every single day


Your' Mom is dumb man..
I feel bad for you.
I am 18, failed a grade in Highschool, and I am still allowed to play Halo all night every night.
Plus I am getting Halo 3 when it comes out, even though she kicked me out of the house XD

technically not the wrong forum, because by shutting off the modem she's not restricting me from halo 3 now is she? (not yet)

its halo 2 im playing ususally when she shuts it off, so logic states that i should put in in the halo 2 forum


When you talk about the modem, you could be talking about watching Porno online... So sorry, this has very little to do with Halo 2..

Tell your' mom she should cool down...
Halo wont make your' grades drop...
I only failed because of addicting games like Runescape and World of Warcraft XD

Her house. Her rules.

Believe it or not, your mother knows what's best for you.

Comparing yourself to other kids is useless.

BTW, 3 hours a day is WAY too much.

Inside the Mind of Halotitan Help me get expand my mind.

You live under her roof don't you? So no its not unfair. Before I graduated high school I wanted to get a tattoo, I turned 18 my senior year and was of the age, however my mother said as long as I was under her roof I couldn't have one. Joined the military and moved out and boom now I have a tattoo. Thats just the way things are man, your mom is more concerned about your health and school by getting your ass off of the video game so you can go to bed or study. Be thankful you have a mom that cares about you because i know some people who would have given anything to have a mom like yours.

Also this DOES belong in the flood, this isn't Halo 2, or Halo 3 related, all you're talking about is you mommy shutting off your precious modem, which sounds to me like something that goes in the flood. Please stop polluting a Halo 2 forum with this nonsense, this is the second thread of yours that you've posted that doesn't belong here.

Freedom of Speech does not equal "Freedom from Consequences when one speaks".

It is a right, and all rights have responsibilities associated with them. Ignore the responsibility, and you tend to lose the right.

when you think about the fact that pretty much 70 percent of high school students in my area have smoked weed at some point, and about half to those still smoke weed, and others use god knows what else kinda drugs, you'd think the fact that im clean and always have been, and i havnt failed any grades yet is one HELL of an achievement in itself. i think theres 1200 students in my high school, and about 800 smoke weed and/or cigs. you would THINK the fact that im one of those good 400 that dont would make her trust me.

but nope. every time i bring up these points she says "NOT OPEN TO NEGOTIATION"



I'm sorry, you're not going to like my opinion. I have to side with your mother on this. In fact, I hope she reads this thread, because I have something to say to her: "Mom, thank you for caring enough about your son and other children to understand, actively monitor, and limit the things that you are!"

The things you claim make you so mature, i.e., not smoking weed and haven't failed any grades, is an extremely poor argument. Is this the standard you use to quantify your success as a student? If so, you need to aim a little higher!

The Halo series games are rated M, and I understand parents will make judgment calls about purchasing it for younger children. However, this rating DOES NOT apply in the same way to XBL, and I wish more parents understood this. Most believe that they are simply allowing their children to play the game with friends over the Internet, and don't understand that by allowing their children to mix with older kids they're exposing them to racism, language, and behavior that is NOT appropriate for young kids. It's not the game, it's the unsupervised mix of age groups that's not healthy for young people.

I'm older than your mom is, and I know you will appreciate her someday more than you do today. I know *I* appreciate her, because there are sadly few mothers these days that care as much as she does about her children. Truth be known, you are limiting the growth and development of certain areas of your brain by spending so much time at the computer or on Live. You should be balancing your free time by perhaps playing a musical instrument, playing sports, reading for enjoyment, etc. Since you're just turning 16, maybe your mom can ask you to help share the load of chores around the house too, and continue along the path to becoming a young adult.

Hehehe.

But seriously. You'll get no sympathy from anyone who isn't still a child here. You've got to just suck it up pal.

ur sixteen and ur mother turns off the modem at 9:00 thats kinda un fair but part of being older is not always getting or doing what you want but doing things that seem to you to be unfair or suck untill you see it from the parents point of view. I'm 17 and my mother still gives me the same saying" you'll understand how i feel when u have kids of your own" besides if your modem is turned off at 9:00 chances are your grades suck and u probly need to study more anyway

Heh.. back when I was in school my dad set our internet up to where I could only get 2 hours a day.. it was retarded. That was before I hit 18 and became my own person however.

im turning SIXTEEN very shortly. I have a car already. Im in grade ELEVEN, but my mom shuts off the modem at 9:00 and sometimes if im lucky its 9:30. anyone else see a problem with this or just me? im creating this thread to show her what the general public thinks and waybe she wont be so rediculous.

come on guys, help me out here

I see nothing wrong with this. She's just a typical mom looking out for her child, something that I think more parents should do. The ones who let their kid play all night every night usually end up not being the smartest cookie in their class. Ever think that maybe she turns off your modem at 9 because cares about you, or because she loves you? I'm not a mom, of course, but I know a thing or two about parenting. She's not being ridiculous. She's being a good parent.
