Singapore Youth Stuck on Video Games
- Youths play video games such as Maple Story & War Craft at least 27 hours a week
- Comparison with statistics from USA
- American youths spend just 13 hours a week playing
- 8.5% of American youths show signs of "pathological gaming"
- Hurts academic performances & relationships
- Youths who are pathological gamers play games to get away from their real life problems such as social problems
- Pathological gamers also tend to be male
- Pathological gaming can cause health problems such as back problems
- Kids play because games are fun and rewarding
Haha! I wonder whether 10 hours of dota is considered pathological gaming! hahaha x)
