Let my parents know that learning Japanese is useful, and it's not just playing computer

The Issue

Hello, dear petition signers.

I have been grounded on February 20th for no computer usage at home due to learning Japanese online.The punishment was applied because they think learning Japanese as useless and therefore counts it as playing computer. I was initially grounded for two days, but after I explained to them about why studying Japanese is not playing on the computer, I was grounded for four days. They also warned me that more discussion about this could lead to further grounding. So that's the event that happened that I'm trying to reverse in this petition. Learning Japanese not only led me to have better language skills, it also can let me have a better college admission chance if I get a Japanese language certificate. Learning Japanese has also trained my memory.This proves that they are punishing me on something that's beneficial for me. So please sign this petition to let my parents know that learning Japanese is useful and reverse the punishment. I would be glad if you signed.
