Hi, OP. I think you've been a bit disrespectful with how you've responded to people's answers here. You have adults telling you why and you refute them instead of asking to explain further--which just proves that you are a kid.

Now, don't get me wrong. I myself have recently founded a gaming org in my college. I know how hard it is to fight stigma and prove others (especially more senior adults) wrong about eSports, but when you have news articles popping up that says "this teen who plays DoTA murdered their grandfather" or something like that, it gets even more difficult for us.

You should listen to the advice of the adults here. Just finish high school. They allow physical sports because it encourages a healthy lifestyle. The same can't be said for eSports because you're just sitting at a table. (And don't argue with me about the mental focus you need for eSports, OP.) They don't care about all that camaraderie bullshit. Clubs are either about life skills (i.e. boy/girl scouts, cooking, home economics) or being physically fit (i.e. sports).

It seems to me that you're quite healthy in mind when it comes to playing, but the same can't be said for others. A lot of teenagers drop out without finishing their education and just rot away all day in computer shops. A lot of teenagers play instead of study--that's just how teenagers are. The thing is, OP, you had parents who are very supportive and reward you for getting good grades and allow you to do whatever you want on the side. Those who enforce the stigma have parents who don't care what they do. Because of the high drop-out rates, those in the education system just want to make sure that you kids finish and learn as much as you can without the distraction.

So get good grades. Finish high school. And then you can do whatever the hell you want in college (but still focus on your education, please). And if you find yourself in UP, join us at UP Gaming Guild. :)
