The upsurge of computer games is extremely undeniable in this technological era. There are more and more children who are keen on playing computer games, which worries their parents a lot due to the bad effects of those online games.
The first severe effect of online games is the addiction. The more time children spend on playing, the more addictive they will be. Therefore, children have no extra time for their study and social relationship. In terms of their schools, images and contents of games are exposed in their head almost all the time, so their school performance will be detrimentally affected. Moreover, they do not have much time to do homework, group projects or even extra-curricular activities in order to improve their knowledge and soft skills. Additionally, spending a great amount of time on playing and socializing with virtual friends, not only the relationships among their real friends but also their family members will be faded significantly. In fact, they tend to live a lonely life since they believe that their game characteristics and online acquaintances are enough. Consequently, online game addiction causes great consequences on students’ lives.
In addition to the addition that online games bring to players, they are prone to suffer from several health problems since their habit of sitting and looking at computer screens for a long period. Their indulgence of online games has resulted greatly in their physical health, especially their eyes. For example, most online game players have short-sighted eyes and obesity since they are lack of physical activities. From their mental health’s perspective, they are subject to passive lifestyles. Children are afraid of going out and performing themselves in front of the crowd, participating in group-working activities, or even playing sports. Moreover, they also become more violent and aggressive since online games consist of numerous fighting, shooting, and hitting scenes. As a result, they are believed to easily commit to social crimes if their appetites are not approved.
From all the above-given, computer games not only affect students’ school performance but also their mentality and physical conditions; therefore, parents and schools should observe their children carefully in order to protect them from the tremendous consequences of online games. Besides, authorities should enact legislation to control the quality and content of online games as well.
