Sam really couldn't of said it any better. I am sure your parents are trying to do what's best for you. If you really are concerned about what's going on, you might want to sit down and talk to them about it. Let them know that your computer may seem like a distraction, but it really something important in your life. Try to compromise. Tell them that if you are allowed the priveliges of utilizing your electronics, you will devote one hour of your day to studying and completing homework.
If you are not doing very well in your classes, try seeing your teachers for extra help. I am sure they will be glad to assist you, and even more happy to see that you are taking the initiative to improve your grades. If it has to do with your organizational skills or the fact that you may not be paying much attention in class, there are many tutorials on this forum and around the internet that may be of assistance to you, considering your circumstance.
My best advice, is to put everything in perspective. What is more important to you? Receiving good grades in order to possibly peruse a post-secondary education, or utilizing your electronics for an extra hour per day? I suggest you at least try what your parents are advising. Who knows, maybe you will begin to take pride in your academics, which will most-likely be reflected upon when your next report card is distributed.
Good luck with solving your conflicts, and feel free to make an inquiry in the event that you want clarifaction on anything I have mentioned. I am here to help! :]
