As someone who did this to their parents when I was 14, didn’t attend any school past that, went to university (found creative ways to get in), dropped out, still got a job and then ended up being at the top earners in my profession, I can honestly say there are lots of paths through life, though to be honest it was touch and go a few times. My parents tried a lot of things, some pushed me nearly over the edge to worse things than playing games and refusing to leave my room. What actually helped eventually is my father spending time with me to understand why I was doing it and eventually offering to drive me to a psychiatrist twice a week when I asked for it to sort my head out, though it took 2-3 till I found one that clicked with me. I guess I just wanted to say… don’t feel like a criminal, it’s hard being young, especially for some who are intelligent or different.
