There’s no doubt that gaming addiction can give rise to a series of problems. To start with, it is likely that teenagers with gaming addiction spend a lot of time playing games and ignoring their studies. At the same time, they may get poor eyesight due to staring at the screen for a long time. Worse still, teenagers who spend too much time playing video games may grow distant from their family and friends. Measures should be taken to prevent gaming addiction as early as possible. First of all, teenagers should be made fully aware of the bad effects of gaming addiction and be set reasonable time limits on gaming. On top of that, it would be a good idea for teenagers to develop more hobbies such as swimming or reading. Last but not least, rewarding them when they spend less time playing games would be a great way to encourage teens to spend less time on video games.
