Youth that play games: Jia Yan

Teenagers that play computer games: Jia Yan
Personally I think that playing computer games is not a wrong thing, but it must be done under moderation. Nowadays, playing Computer games are common in this modern society; however they do not only have bad effect, but comes with good effect too. I think there are two main reasons why teenagers play computer games, its simple because games are fun and help aims to focus on to relieve stress. Take for example, any leveling games like MapleStory, PangyaSEA, etc.. each level gain on the teenager's character would make them have a sense of achievement, which make them continue to play even longer period of time. On the other hand if teenagers tend to play too much or go overboard in playing computer games, it might cause them to feel tired. And also after teenagers come back from school and started to play computer games for hours. They tend to be tired, thus causing them to fall asleep and not doing their homework or assignment that they are suppose to be done for the next day lesson. And playing computer games makes your mind very active in thinking; it causes you to be unable to sleep well because of the excitement of the games, especially games that are of violent impact.

I believe that under moderation and under time management, teenagers would not always feel sleepy or act aggressively after playing games for long hours. With time moderation, games that are played could help re-boot their mind making them active in thinking and solving problems especially in mathematics. For long-term gamers might even cause serious health damage to their body. First factor is bad eye sights caused by prolonged computer used, our eyes are badly affected by how long we stare at the bright screen, for long-term staring could make us stop blinking and thus make our eyes strain and to dry out. Second is bad posture which is number one enemy, long periods of time at the computer while playing games often leads to pain in the lumbar region of the back and even cause our back to slouch. Our hand and wrist ache after playing too long which sometimes lead to the feeling of numbness.

In conclusion, most importantly, parents should play a part in guiding teenagers, giving them time constrain on playing computer games. One way of preventing kids from playing too much computer games is having conversation with their child, talking about the seriousness and the negative impact of playing computer games.
