This article is mainly about the addiction the young people today have over video games.

A rehabilitating centre was built in the Netherlands to deal with drug addicts, alcoholics, and game addicts. It turns out that games make people anti-social from a very young age if parents allow them to play all of the time. A video game might not be the prime suspect to a child’s irregular behavior so usually parents wouldn’t know why their kids are acting that way. Being addicted to video games is much like being addicted to drugs or drinking. As a matter of fact, some people even take drugs just to be able to play longer.
