In response to your edit: No job... I'm sorry then. You're swamped unless you can get a relative to get it for you. And wow at all you guys who came to call her a dumbass rather than suggesting anything worthwhile. Kudos to you for immaturity.
Bitchy parents help.

. Why do people never seem to grasp that yelling at your parents is not the way to go?
Ok one second, out of curiosity I checked the age on your profile, says you were born in 1990 making you about 19. Is this you real age, because if so...WHAT THE FUCK?! GET A JOB AND MOVE THE FUCK OUT!Hooded-hyena said:
You are not being a bad Christian for wanting a M rated game. The bible said nothing about it.
"Thou shall not kill"- I dont think god ment that for video-games, but im not god so i dont know
You should ask one of the pastors about it and if they are on your side have him/her talk to there parents.

Know what? Just get a job, move into an apartment or room with a friend at school (you go to college now?), and get the hell out of there. It'll be the best decision you ever make in your life.
And the Escapist Community is already bitching on page 1, no surprise. It is almost laughable how the simplest of concepts escape you retards. Even before the edits you can easily infer some things about the relationship with their parents that some of you are missing. Let me spell it out for you pricks.
1. This isn't about the fucking video game
Obviously this is an ongoing long term issue with the way his parents react. People don't get upset over stupid things like not getting what they want for Christmas. This probably has more to do with the fact that the parents are acting like children. Thinking that the best way to deal with a problem is to ignore it, and placing double standards.
2. They obviously asked what he wanted for Christmas
Why is it so hard to believe that maybe there was a reason he was telling his parents a list of expensive things he wanted one month before a major gift giving holiday. Feeling stupid now, you should.
3. Learn the child labor laws of your country
I am so sick and tired of this damn "get a job" thing that people do at the < 16s. You know what most states child labor laws say: no job until 14, job choice heavily restricted until 16, less restricted until 18. Even then there is transportation to worry about and the fact that some parents do not want their children to earn money. This loosens their grip on their children, and some control freak parents will actually fight it. So shut the fuck up when you haven't done the research. Seriously paper routes, do you think they actually still have kids delivering those on bikes? Fucking retards.
4. Just because somebody has it worse doesn't mean somebody's situation isn't bad
My fucking god people. Yes, someone somewhere in the world is worse off than this kid, a lot of people are, but that doesn't mean that this is a healthy parent child relationship. You can say that about anyone in the fucking West. What's that? You lost your job, your wife of 20 years left you, your kids were raped by a gang and committed suicide and now you're an alcoholic? Oh well that doesn't matter, because somebody I don't know on the other side of the world is worse off than you are.
Fucking pricks.

Here's one crazy comment from a Christian; OP's 19, so he should be able to get the game regardless of rating; and again, Op's 19, why is he living with his parents and at this time obviously not going to college or anything like that?Internet Kraken said:
I'm just going to guess that she lied. It really isn't that hard. The escapist is the only site where I use my real birthday, because it is the only site where I don't get benefits for being over 18. You do possibly have a point. Maybe I did jump the gun in assuming that she lied about her age.oliveira8 said:
Or, you're right, she needs to get a job, get an apartment and get a life. If you're 19 and you still live with your parents like this, you are a fucking loser. However I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt right now and just assuming that she is lying about her age.
Welcome to the Escapist; this comment is wrong. Trust me.Rokar333 said:
It's a matter of principle: we figured it out. We're concentrating on the subject at hand; he asked us what he should do, and why his parents are acting as they did. We gave him the answer he wanted. While there are some good points you've brought up in your post, there is much we already understand that you state in a rather impolite manner. I reiterate; never call the Escapist Community retarded.
It's too late for you now. You needed to assert your dominance from a young age, now they have you trained like a puppy, and have in turn trained themselves that they they are they are the masters. Accept your fate, as their kind cannot be changed by force or common sense.
Actually I don't really care if you still live at your parents house at 19 or 24.(30 is kinda pushing...really) Living alone isn't easy and at that age you are probably juggling college and something that resembles to a job.Rokar333 said:
Unless you have a boy/girlfriend to share a flat or friends. If not...living at your parents house isn't that bad. I miss those days. I didn't have to cook, clean the house, pay bills, know how to work a washing machine, remenber to buy food...regurlaly, buy cloth...
But there is no excuse to be 19 and have NO job! Even cleaning stairs is a job...no excuse.
Here's my suggestion:
move out if you can, maybe even move in with a friend who's moved out if you can, and stop going to church if you don't want to, do this a soon as possible.
trust me, no good comes from having jerky parents, no matter what parents say, it doesn't matter if they're military, overly religous, a part of some gang, or any of that sort of thing.
I had a would-be Nazi for a step-dad, lost half my childhood to that bastard, if you'll pardon my french.
