Thanks for all the replies guys and I have looked over what many have you said and here is what I can say...
Legality - I play on PS which is 18 and I live in NY... oo and I do many other illegal things that have far more worse consequences then poker online...
Sedintary- I dont see it being much of an issue since I will be willing to compromise on them with this...
My goal for BR by summer was 3k, since my expenses living at home are very little which is basically eating and hanging out/gas, I dont have to pay rent. I dont plan to spend more then 1.5k this summer if even that. I figured with 3k BR even if worst case scenerio playing the 25 2 table turbos on stars i lost 60 straight buyins I still would have 1.5k worst comes to worst to slowly cash out as I need ect... I also will have 400$ as extra backup saved goin into the summer.
I can completely understand social skills aspect but you have to understand, I have worked since I was 14. I have worked as a painter, and then when I was 17 I started construction, I have experience with bosses and co-workers ect... I am not a loner I have many friends and actually prefer being in the center of a crowd the majority of the time. I still go to school so I gain social skills with teachers in that respect as well as the buisness I am running here at school. ( which my parents dont know about and cant know about)
I can completely understand grades just another thing that every parent wants for their kids. The fact is I WANT to do good I really do just to get my parents off my back, but even how much they nag me and how much shit i take from them I still dont have the motivation to actually do all the work required for a 3.0+ I just do the required minimum to not get taken out of school by my parents. I know this is very immature but honestly I cant find the motivation to do it. I just cant.
Poker Numbers- I will also show him my numbers to prove I have been doing very well...
And everyone please understand me I have complete and utter respect for my parents, they have raised me better then anyone of my friends I know, they have instilled the right values and morals in me. Its just that it has always been his way or the highway and on this matter I am going to put my foot down and if he does not accept this I will be not living with my family this summer, this really a relationship I want to send to the rocks like this but I am 18 and if I dont stand up occasionally for myself I will be taking his orders my whole life basically. I am a very mature 18 year old, I have run 2 buisnesses online, I run a buisness at school, I have worked since I was 14 and have learned to take care of myself from a young age because I am the oldest of 6 children.
