Online Game Addiction #5

My term paper for this semester talks about "The Impact of Online Gaming to Teenagers" and its kinda funny since i'm also a gamer like most teenagers, so as i research more about my term paper its positive/negative effects i can see how true it is because it happened to me for real. This term papers purpose is to know if online gaming can result in unstable social life and the inability to perform tasks and to see if there is any way to stop this addiction. A lot of teenagers like me had worst case of addiction juts like what happened to Dennis Bennett he was failing his college classes, his marriage was in trouble, and he wasn't being much of a father to his 1-year-old son. But he had progressed to Level 58 as Madrid, the Great Shaman of the North, his character in the online role-playing game "EverQuest," and that was all that mattered to him at that time. I mean seriously? leaving behind the important stuff just to level in a game is kinda stupid but we can't blame addiction.

Too much online gaming can also lead to poor health since you spend most of your time playing and you would forgot to eat and sleep but there are also a lot of benefits when it comes to playing online games like acquiring new friends known as Online Friendship and also by getting information from other people around the globe, it also provides entertainment when your bored, in fact Online gaming is one of the most popular entertainment nowadays. Most of the male teenagers are addicted to Online Games, according to research by  Michael Smoker primarily the fact that online games are designed and marketed in a way that makes them addictive. There are, however, factors in online gaming addiction peculiar to men, such as the fact that most games are competitive and males of most animal species are biologically competitive.
