I’m putting in about 8 to 9 hours of homework each day. I get home around 4:00 PM and work straight through until 9:30 PM without any breaks.

It sounds like you’re putting in an incredible amount of effort! To persuade your parents that you’ve completed enough for the night, here are some strategies you might consider:
Show Your Work: Take the time to explain what you’ve accomplished. Create a list of tasks you’ve completed and highlight any projects or assignments that took extra time or thought. This can help them see the value of your efforts.
Set Clear Goals: Before starting your homework each day, outline your goals for what you want to achieve. Share those goals with your parents, and once you’ve met them, it can serve as a natural stopping point.
Discuss Time Management: Share your study schedule and the amount of time you spend on each subject. If you’ve consistently been completing quality work, it might help them understand that you’re managing your time effectively.
Talk About Your Well-Being: Explain how important it is for you to have some downtime after such long study sessions. Discuss the benefits of breaks for productivity and mental health, and perhaps propose a reasonable end time to your study sessions.
Ask for Their Advice: Involve your parents in the conversation. Ask for their input on how to manage your homework and whether they think your current routine is sustainable. This can help them feel included in your decision-making process.
Propose a Trial Period: Suggest a trial period where you can have a set cutoff time for homework and reassess after a week or two. This shows you’re willing to compromise and can help build their trust in your ability to manage your workload.
Remember to stay calm and respectful during the conversation, and be open to their concerns as well. Good luck!
