INTERNET GAMING ADDICTION
I'd rather play games than see my
friends. Even if I'm tired at school, who cares! Everyone plays and that's what we talk about at school.
If gaming is interfering with concentration at school, it might be good to have a look at the time you are dedicating to it . Maybe you can approach it in a more balanced way?
I always check my phone, but so does everyone else. What's so wrong about that? You wouldn't get it because you didn't have them at school! You can't be dog and not reply.
It's important to share common interests with our friends, but we have to take care of ourselves too. With a bit of organisation, we can fit in gaming with studies and other commitments.
