If I would give you any advice on life in general, always put marthon behind whatever comes up. It's just a game, so don't let it get all of your focus. I'm speaking of own experiences. When I was in your age I lost the opportunity of personal growth when I rather played marathon then meeting new friends and being social. It wasn't for years later I noticed how isolated I was and decided I should do something about it. It took some time to get back on track, and it was literally a pain in the ass experience. However when I look back on it, I realise something went wrong much earlier and marathon was just my way of ignoring my problems. So even though your parents takes away marathon, they probably just do it because they love you.
