Many youngsters today were so much hooked with internet and gaming. They even missed their classes during weekdays. Besides, they almost spend the whole day on computer which is very risky to ones health. Like other stuffs where people get addicted, now internet is one of them. Parents should take care of their children in using computers. Though it's helpful for their studies and development, there should be some restrictions. .-= michael terence fudot´s last blog ..<a href="http://emo-dot-com.blogspot.com/2010/01/earn-money-thru-neobux.html" rel="nofollow">Earn Money Thru Neobux</a> =-.

We never knew that he's addicted to on-line games unitl we learned that he lost his scholarship. At first we thought it was because he got sick during midterm He was diagnosed of having accute UTI (Probably this was also caused by his addiction to these games).. . Later, I learned that he lost his scholarship because he has been spending most of his time in on-line games and he rarely/never attended his classes. So he failed in most of his subjects, re enrolled again until he finally quit and dropped all his subjects. Our problem now is he's no longer interested to finish his studies. According to him, he doesn't know what course to take...that he doesn't have any talent...he has lost his interest and hope...We have talked to him, encourage him, even beg him...but we can't persuade him to do so....We've been praying for him but til now, he hasn't changed. According to him, he no longer play on line games but his siblings know that he's still into it. He's turning 24 this year. What can be done for him to get out of this pit of hopelessness?to continue and finish his studies?Pls help me. We live in an island province while my son was studying in UP Diliman.

It gives negative effects on my life but it also gives me more knowledge on computers and things related to it. It did not even really affected my grades. i started to become addicted to computer gaming and is still one but now i am in my senior in UP writing my thesis on this topic. In my opinion, what the blog fail to see is that in any generation addiction is always there because the root causes of these addictions are always there. People do not know how to deal with these causes "effectively" so they are highly vulnerable. Our generation was born into a highly technological state where the use of computer is vital for progress. Our School requirements and reports needs to be in a powerpoint or video presentation unlike in the old days that the default style of reporting was putting it in a manila paper. Therefore, our generation circles around this kind of technology and exposure to all its aspects is crucial for us to learn. Its true i am addicted to computer gaming and even learned to watch porn on the net but as time goes i get bored about it and just move on with my life. it even aided me to be knowledgeable in dealing with computers. the main point here is that moderation and guidance is the key to go through addiction with minimal negative effects. As parents, you should also put yourselves on the shoes of your kids. See their perspective and try to understand why because sometimes it roots down to family problems and blaming worsens it. my parents were like what Noemi had done but i still became a computer addict.

First off, would you rather kids be out in gangs, doing drugs, stealing things, or would you rather have kids that stay at the house, watch some tv and play some games. My parents agree with me on this, they would rather have me here at home doing something safe, like playing games and watching tv, than out being a criminal. Heck, my parents even play the game i play with me, and yes, its World of Warcraft. Does playing it a few hours every day make me addicted to it? No, it doesnt. Does paying for it monthly make me addicted to it? No, it doesnt. It is people like you who think "Oh, that child is playing something fun that IS NOT educational... lets ban it, while we are at it lets blame all of the societys problems on it too." What you dont realise is that it isnt JUST tv and video games that are corrupting todays children, 90% of it are the parents that just let their kids run wild, and do as they please. From now on, you should look in the mirrior, and say hey, some of this is because of me too... As a kid myself, 17 to be exact, i have a need to say a few things.
