Ron and C4 said you could hang out at their apartment and play with their Wii.

Just exercise until you're tired. I suggest running/jogging. That way you can sleep, you don't need the XboX at all, and you're healthy on top of it.

I agree with James. I read a study that a 25 minute walk before bed is a better sleep aid than any OTC medicine or traditional cure (warm milk, etc).
Besides, you're probably playing too many video games anyway.

Relax my friend. Next time read a textbook ( guaranteed to put you to sleep ) or watch TV, ooops cant do that right? ;D
Things that seem like a big deal like no Xbox for a week arent really worth getting upset over. Here is a secret, if you react to a punishment your parents know it was a good one and tend to reuse it. If you remain calm and dont react they might move on to other things. It always helps to remind them too that when they are old and feeble you will get to choose what nursing home you will stick them in!
Hang in there Madison, it will be alright.

There might just be a reason that your parents want to limit your video gaming, though it's not easy to see right now. The best thing to do is not break the rules that your parents give you, and your life with them will be much easier for all.
I'd try the things James mentioned, or read a book if you can't sleep, in the mean time.

If you posted on here hoping for sympathy, I think you came to the wrong place. First of all, sympathy is not something this group is real big on. We're more likely to laugh at you about something. Second, there are several parents on this board. We've either done something similar to what your parents are doing, or have thought about how we would deal with the situation.

Lets come at this from a diffrent angle. Seriously, I mean after a long day of school, having to had to get up at the butt crack of dawn, earlier than most parents have to go to work by the way, they pull something like this.
First there is school, which is no picnic btw, then after school you have to come right home and do all of your chores before dinner. Once you've finished it's right way to your homework (a mentally tiresome task that neither of your parents can help you on since they haven't used this crap since highscool.) Then at the end of the day when you think you can have sometime to yourself (because no one is up) to play a little xbox they take it away.
Just tell them if they don't give it back you'll just have find other ways to mentally escape and take out all of your pent up aggression.

It sounds like Kevin is willing to adopt you. Run that by your parents, we can help you move your stuff in this weekend.
As for keeping your hands occupied, maybe someone can send you some websites where you can get free TV on the computer, that way if you cannot rot your brain with the Xbox you can use the computer to access the tried and tested universal babysitter to millions!
