manaman70 Banned	posted June 29, 2001 08:10 PM Talk to them about this, tell them how much you like magic (dont over do it or they may be back to thinking its bad). Sit down and have a pleasnt disscussion with them, start it something like, "Mom/Dad (whovever you need to talk to, im betting its dad) I know how much you love me, and i dont want you to get mad when i bring this up (most likly he will start getting mad when you say that),but i really want to talk to you about that Card Game i play..." he may be mad that you brought it up, he may not i dont know him so i cant say its up to you to plan for any remark he will make (you probly heard them all already) and to let him now in the end that magic isnt your total life, but that its your hobbie, and you would like to be able to continue with it. And bring him down to the card shop introduce the owner/manager to your parents, introduce a few players also. __________________ Did you know that i existed? casue until someone told me, i thought i was a figment of my overactive imagination click me! if you want a ps1 and some really good games that is! manaman70@yahoo.com gumppa99 on aim [Edited 1 times, lastly by manaman70 on July 12, 2001]
Kupop Member	posted July 01, 2001 09:08 PM Well, i'm 4'4 but i'm pretty strong for my size, i don't fight back with anyone because a- most of the kids i know are like 5'6 and b- because the 2 times i ever fought back i actually hurt people, so now i'm afraid to hurt someone. The 2nd time, my mom used to beat me but she was too weak to draw blood, but one day she did. So what did i do? I belted her across the face. She fell and fractured her tailbone. She still complains about it and hates my guts for it, she hates magic but my dad tolerates it so i don't really have a problem except earning $$. Try showing them this article to see that Magic isn't really evil, and they might understand. Good luck!!! __________________ Lt. Forsaken Kupop GAB Jade Team, Loyal Defender of Prodigal Sorcerors.

But the suggestion is quite good: did you (mageta) show the article to your parents yet? It might work, and everything has to be tried... __________________ The Poetry Post -- Post all your poems here! The Magic Dude e-mail: magic_styler@hotmail.com ICQ #: 91433591
innocent_little_kid Member	posted July 12, 2001 03:39 PM i'm sorry for all of you who don't have it good. i guess i have it better than most people. when i was in about 3rd grade, my mom finally finished getting it through my head that the first priority for me is to do well in school, and i've been doing that ever since (never gotten anything but A's on final report cards, i know it's sad, don't laugh ). so as long as my parents see that i know what i'm doing they let me pretty much do whatever i want. i just graduated hs, but i still live with them (will go away to college in 2.5 month - Caltech ). we're not rich or anything (we immigrated here from russia 5 years ago), but i do have my own credit card (one for students) and checking account (i need one to put $ from my job & scholarships, etc), so i have no problem buying cards. another thing that my parents respect, for which i greatly admire them, is my privacy. seriously though if my parents found out how much $ i spent on magic, they would defitenly freak. when i first started playing (after tempest), my parents didn't really approve, but they did not forbid me from it either, and i think my mom even bought me a couple of starters (a 5th one for new year) when i asked. overall they think that magic is silly, but not bad or evil or anything. they didn't tell me to stop playing, and when i went to a shop a few times they were ok with that. luckily i live in a big city (close to l.a.), so finding stuff to do w/ magic is not that big of a problem. now i have a car (me and my brother share it), which makes things easier. my dad a couple of times asked me about cards, which was interesting, and my grandparents did too. i actually sucked one of my friends into the game. i don't think he's addicted yet, but his parents are also very nice, he even tried teaching his dad how to play. anyway, i hope all of you who have problems, will resolve them. just stay strong, and keep at it, and everything should turn out alright. dima __________________ The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it.

kingkyle3 Member	posted July 12, 2001 03:55 PM Well my parents don't care if I play however they think any1 over the age of 15 or 16 who still plays has no life. I go to tournaments and they think I will be the oldest one there (for the record i'm 14). Then my mom came into the store once and saw that they were all older guys and they said that I shouldn't grow up to be like them. They also hink it's a child game like Pokemon. I always explain to them that older people do have lives and there's nothin wrong w/older people playing magic. My challenge now is to hope thhey let me to continue to buy. Which i think they will now that they don't care about the game any more. -DA king __________________ "Yeah, Moe, those teams sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked.

And I'm sure that someone who goes out to a bar to get liquored up has a life Well my parents are extremely cool about it. I haven't really bought much in the way of magic except if I need it for a deck, but they don't say anything about me playing and that's just fine by me. __________________ "Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?"--Plato "All men make mistakes.

gbs3769 Member	posted August 02, 2001 10:20 AM I didn't read the whole thread, so bear with me if I touch on some things that other people have already mentioned. My parents never really saw a problem with me playing Magic. The only reason they were leary of it at first was because me and my friends used to start lots of things and not finish them. Like we used to play tons of other CCG's but we never really focused on them. So my mom had me sign a contract saying that if I started to play Magic, I had to play it for at least a year. Well, it has been at least 7 years now and I am still playing so I think that worked out. Whoever mentioned sitting down and talking with your parents hit the nail on the head. I have always been 100% honest with my parents, and they have always supported me in whatever it is I have wanted to do. I have a great relationship with them (and that is the key) and I know that I can turn to them for anything. If you sit down and talk with your parents about why you play Magic, and what Magic is I think that they will understand a little more why you play. Have your parents been to the store that you used to hang out at? Have they been there when an event is going on (group playing cards)? If not, maybe you should try and get them to go with you sometime. A lot of the time, parents are more worried about the crowd you are with than anything. If they meet the kids you hang out with and see that they aren't bad then they might accept it a little more. I hope that helps a little bit. - Matt __________________ Matt Tobia AIM: TobySU03 gbs3769@hotmail.com Ref-list H/W List #2 Poster in Syracuse, NY (Does anyone live in Syracuse, NY?)

Well magic isnt a huge part of my life. I just play a game or two 2-3 times a week. Maybe just try to find something else interesting. And just hope ur dad doesnt showup at the store when the weird gothic guys are there. My parents wont let me by more then a pack a month of cards. They say i should save my $$$on college and cars.
