I just want to play a healthy amount of video games.

"Distract yourself and break up the time you play video games with other activities." - this does happen occasionally, and when it does, it's nice, but as soon as I get home, I start playing video games again.

"Ask your parents for help with moderation." - this one might help, but the thing is that I don't think their will to resist me asking for things is strong enough. If I asked them to keep, for example, my Xbox and only let me play for x hours a day, I don't think it would help. I think if I pleaded to play it longer, they'd just give it to me. They kinda spoil me.

Also, I just wanna say that I know that self-control is really important when we're talking about this, and I really need to work on that.
