I was introduce to a brand new wii when I was 8 and since then I've got more and more games and consoles BUT more and more problems. I can't help playing when I shouldn't do, craving for more and it's got EVEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS. I still do it till this day and I'm desperate to stop but, I can't. I just can't get it out of my head and I'm in desperate need for help. It's also the same with Youtube. Any advice would be greatly apresiated. Chat to ya soon!

    The things that are not so good about getting hooked on games.

    It takes you away from getting on with real life

    It stops you spending time on things that will earn you real money

    It stops you from meeting real people who you want to be around. I know the other gamers are real people but it's too much like kindergarten playtime where you are all playing at some ultimately time passing activity that achieves nothing more than the passage of more time. (If you want to understand the passage of time then consult Proust!)

    Games are just a way of avoiding real life, they are a bit like drugs (prescription or not) that hide problems but do nothing to actually tackle your underlying difficulties.

    I've advocated that people should treat real life as a game. Why don't you spend your energy on trying to get to the next level in real life by learning how to be more confident with making eye contact or making conversation or learning how to tolerate the stupidity of so many aspects of the world without getting angry. There are lots of positive things to be won in real life that are worth much more effort than learning how to get to the next level in a game.

    That's just my opinion, other opinions are available!
