GTA 5

If your parents are so religious that they wont let you buy a video game, they can piss off. If a video game makes people violent then does that mean that a spoon will make me fat, does reading animal farm make me a communist? No it's a human beings actions. Every action has a reaction. GTA 5 is M rated meaning that you need parental permission in order to buy it. If you parents strongly think that this game makes people violent, then they are sorely mistaken. It may influence and introduce people to gangs, drugs and so on. But really? that is part of life. You are going to find out one day or another. There's no keeping a childs innocents today. However, if they think that you are not mature enough to be introduced into these real world, and fantasy world scenarios, then let it be. It's not your decision, no matter how stupid or wrong your parents might be.

What is really boils down to is that, your parents are probably trying to look out for you and want the best for you. They aren't trying to restrict you from this because they are evil, they are only doing it because they don't want you to have a bad future or career. What you need to do, is display to them that you are responsible, trustworthy, and have a really good understanding of the real world. Have an understanding about why murder is bad, drugs are illegal, so on and so on. I hope this helped you understand most likely why they wont let you.
