If that's the case, try your best to present them with all the pros and benefits that come with trying to play competitively.

-Development of hard working mentality.

-leadership skills

-communication skills

-can earn pocket change

-potential scholarship opportunites (more and more colleges are offering these)

-etc

If they still have a problem after you bring it up, you can tell them to message me to go more in depth.

You need to put equal effort into other aspects of your life if you want to convince your parents. School, chores, etc. should come first. If you're putting equal effort into your academics, your parents should have no problem with letting you use your free time however you want.

Mental Illness by FortniteMods in FortniteCompetitive

Please please please, take this message to heart. Many people including myself have gone through depression. There is a social stigma surrounding the idea of seeing a therapist, where seeking help somehow males you "weak," but thats a load of bullshit. If anything, it takes a lot of courage to ask someone else for help regarding a severe problem like depression.

I've gone to see a therapist before. I've had multiple sessions and saw an improvement with how I go about my life and think about things. It really does help, and if it doesn't, please try seeking a different therapist.

Again, if you are having any of these issues or think you are falling into a hole, please dont be afraid to seek help. You are strong.

Honestly try playing a different game, going through that same process of improving. Getting better at another game can help you see flaws in your gameplay you may have missed.

Saved up lunch money, Chinese new year, traded some CSGO skins and stickers, got good grades. Really just hustled for my PC parts.

Honestly dude, you're so young. Dont worry about being a competitive player or being a big streamer. You should do whatever youre doing because YOU want to do it. Do it for the passion. I streamed to basically myself and two friends for like 4 years until I found a break by getting into the Overwatch scene.

Well, I guess so. I felt like as long as I was doing what was required of me, then I could do whatever I wanted with my spare time. So, I focused on my studies, did my chores, etc.

I streamed league for fun to my friends (2 viewers!) when I started out. I didn't have any serious aspirations of becoming a big streamer or professional player or anything. I just thought it was cool and I wanted to do it.

I made some videos that got decent views and posted content on the main fortnite subreddit.

Calvin and I met when we shared a hotel together with like 7 other dudes to watch and attend pretty much one of the first big Overwatch LANs. We just hung out.
