Luckily, or not, I was already an adult when D&D hit the scene. Back
when there were no slick books or good dice. Yeah, that long ago!
So I've heard all the stories. A group was acting out D&D and
someone got injured and died. A few killed themselves, and probably
would have regardless unfortunately. It the same thing here.

Now I'm not encouraging you to tell your parents anything. If
they're concerned they can check it out. Parents need to know what
their children are doing, bottom line. They need to find out for
themselves, not what a talking head told them. To blame a computer
game for your life problems is silly, and typical in our society.
Take responsibility for your life!
