Instead of "Is gaming bad for the computer", maybe you should consider the effect of gaming on people.

I would guess that your parents think you are playing too much? What is their position and yours? The facts are easy to search for.

Its not bad for the computer, but its not always good for you.
Its not a good idea to spend 24/7 in front of the computer.
(like I do)
And there's always the mental effect on your brain.

Just remember:
Your parents own the house you live in
they pay the electrical bill
and they probably own your computer.
So if they say no, its probably unfair and time to get your own computer!
(GAME ON !

As for some of the tearys on video games increseing violence , some studys show it actualy acts as an out let for violence and is not in fact the instagator.
Its a prety gray area

As for the social elements , i my self game too much and have no social life , but im pretty sure i wouldent have had one anyway. im not buildt for being accepted in the norms....

Also i was a very voilent child, i beet up .. people before i ever had a computer or a tv for that matter.. we were poor

"Again im sorry iv no spell checker " im on my Mam's Brand new XPS ... im not sure why she has an XPS but meh

Yes! Exactly!
People need to maintain a good mental health, good physical health, and good social health.
If you remove and of the listed above, you would no longer be a fully functioning person, and you would probably fall into a state of depression, or worse.

Game on all you want, just be sure to go and talk to your friends and family, maintain relationships, and keep healthy.

(Make a deal with your parents: If you eat healthy, and be sure to keep friends, and do your daily chores, and get outside once in a while, then you can continue to play all the games you want. )

reita......  Some answers for you .

How long can a computer be on for?

My machines run 24/7    and have never had any problems.

Is gaming bad for the computer?

No ..... however some games utilize all of the CPUs capacity and will create additional heat to be generated .

Will gaming spoil a computer

 perhaps you should define gaming , in the context you are refering to.

Why do parents always think that playing of games will spoil a computer

 Perhaps , it's not the computer your parents are concerned about , but rather you .  
On the other hand , some of the gamming download sites seem to be riddled with nasties , which could potentially do damage to the machine.
