what content is in these video games

Answer by oldweirdhoss
Certain games are purposely designed to be addictive and can cause teenagers to neglect school and personal life to play them. There are a lot of news articles on video game addiction online; you can try looking those up.

If a teenager already has violent tendencies, some games can worsen that and cause them to become more violent in real life. Violent or bloody games aren’t bad for most people though.

Question by : How can i stop my video game addiction?
Okay, so ive been doing a little study on the idea of possibly having a video game addiction. i know it doesnt sound like a serious addiction, but it is and its really affecting how im living. i started playing about 2 years ago and i continue to play for about 8+ hours a day. ive tried to just not play for a day but somtime along the day im on my games again. like stated in some of the pages ive visited, im desocializing myself from friends and family. i dont want to do anything including daily activities like getting dressed, doing my hair and make-up. (yes im a girl gamer) Since ive started playing video games ive lost my ambition to actually move out on my own get a job go to school and to have social interactions. im 18 btw. ive been playing a mmorpg. which is an mass multiplayer online role playing game. Im having symptoms like irregular sleeping, i only eat something small once a day, i shower, but i dont get dressed to go out, do my hair and make-up anymore like i used to do on a daily basis. im seriously asking for help seeing how there is no actual help for a video game addiction. if someone has maybe had some experience with something like this please help me. thanks.
Thank you guys very much. My mother actually thought my problems could have been dfrom depression so you saying that it mimics depression is a solid fact that i have a game addiction. thank you again for being serious with me and not saying rediculous things.    Read more...

Answer by hillnacho88
no because i do it too….i had that same question with the same “disorder” and the answer is no…but u can have too much video games…

Answer by lazy_dayz88
I think it can be depending on circumstances. For example, if someone is playing video games to the point that it is interfering with eating, normal lifestyle, work, school, relationships, etc. Then one obviously has a problem, as the video game has begun to take over their lives. Or if the person just becomes apathetic towards anything that doesn’t concern the video game, then it is a problem.

This is just a guess, but I think it is pretty logical.    Read more...
