I'm 13 and my dad won't let me get GTA 5 due to drugs in the game. He is stubborn and knows nothing about the game but whenever I tell him something he just ignores me. Please help?

You are lucky you even HAVE a game console! How dare you whine because you are not getting a horrible game! You need to go up to your dad and THANK him for the roof over your head, the food in your belly, the warm bed you sleep in every night, and especially for his love and dedication to you! You sound like a sniffling little spoiled BRAT!

i understand at 13 you are past the little kid toys, but that doesn't make you ready for everything else. Your dad is paying attention to what you are doing and he cares. He even explained why he didn't want you to have it. That shows he has respect for you and thinks you are mature enough to understand. Yet you are coming on here and whining like a little kid throwing a temper tantrum. Maybe you dad is wrong. Not about you playing the game, but mature enough to reason with.

Parents need to know that Grand Theft Auto V is an M-rated action game brimming with gang violence, nudity, extremely coarse language, and drug and alcohol abuse. It isn't a game for kids.

Playing as hardened criminals, players kill not only fellow gangsters but also police officers and innocent civilians using both weapons and vehicles while conducting premeditated crimes, including a particularly disturbing scene involving torture.

Women are frequently depicted as sexual objects, with a strip club mini-game allowing players to fondle strippers' bodies, which are nude from the waist up. Players also have the opportunity to make their avatars use marijuana and drink alcohol, both of which impact their perception of the world.

None of the main characters in the game makes for a decent role model. All of them are criminals who think of themselves first and others rarely at all. Few games are more clearly targeted to an adult audience.

You're 13 years old. When your parent tells you that a game or movie is inappropriate for you, then that's the rule. After reading the above review, there would be no way I would let you play this if you were my kid. One idiot sales person tried to sell my son - aged 7 years old - a game marked M for Mature audience. When I told him that he was too young, he just rolled his eyes.

No means no, in this instance. Learn to deal with it.

Children your age are very impressionable. Your father has every right to control the games you play.

I am the father of 3 adult men---50, 45, and 34 years old.  That game would never been allowed in my house when they were your age---and there would have been no discussion about it.

It is a father's obligation to make such decisions---and he has the final say in the matter.

Of course, you may have friends that have the game and they may be willing to let you play it when you are away from home.

That would probably be a stupid thing for you to do.
