Addiction to Computer Games.

[Harry]

It's kind of funny how some addictions in society are totally acceptable and others not. An addiction to video games is seen as bad, yet an addiction to books, sports, etc. isn't.

An addiction isn't bad at all, it's only if the said addiction is a detriment to the physical and mental wellbeing of the person addicted. Perhaps parents should engage more with the children on their terms, like playing puzzle games with the child and building up analytical skills or discussing stories and themes, or bonding through multiplayer games just the same as one would bond through an outdoor sport.

I'd hazard to say its the parents with the attention problem, in that they can't see the opportunity, only a negative.
