Today we can make the young generation aware of its dangers by telling them the disadvantages of online games. Youth is meant to learn something new and not to waste time by pressing buttons on mobile phones. Have you ever thought that the people who make these games for you are earning lakhs of rupees by making you addicted to these trivial games? Any game should be limited to just a few hours, like a game. You must have heard that ‘excess of everything is bad’ means everything is worse than necessary. This also applies to games played on the internet. So take an oath with us today not to play games on the phone for more than 1 hour a day and spend your extra time studying as well as working on topics. Let us first read the essay on online gaming addiction—

The Internet has changed the way we live, what we eat, how we dress, what we do, and even how or what we play. The Internet has a deep impact on all decisions. The internet has made our life easy and comfortable. Today almost everything is available at the click of a button. Just the thought of something comes to mind, and within a few days it reaches your door.

But amidst these happy moments a new and different trend has also emerged, and that is online gaming addiction. Online games are a huge platform today. A platform that has broken all borders between countries around the world. In online games you can connect with any player anywhere in the world. You don’t even know who you’re playing with, and this secret makes the game experience even more exciting. In this way it also gives you the opportunity to make new friends from other countries. We can say that the player gets a chance to showcase his talent all over the world. Nowadays, many online gaming championships are organized where gamers (players) get a platform to compete with each other. This increases their skills and popularity.

Only a simple smartphone and internet connection are required to play games on the internet. For this reason, online games have turned into a popular profession through which millions of people are earning money by making online games.

But there is also another side to the coin that is often black and blurred. The other side of online gaming is not only dark but also terrible. For those who get used to playing online games, it takes up all their productive time. When money is invested in this through betting, families get ruined.

Online gamers’ social interaction becomes zero, which leads them to loneliness. Due to which the disease of depression is increasing today. Spending a long time in front of the computer can also damage their eyes. Playing games continuously while sitting or lying in one place also harms the spinal cord and physical structure.

These games attract young children through their fascinating visuals, and they become addicted to the extent that they forget to eat or sleep and prefer only these games played on phones and computers. This addiction of being in front of the screen all the time not only harms the person but also makes the entire family suffer the consequences.

In the last few years, PUBG, an online game in India, has made people of all ages its victims. In such a situation, the Government of India made laws and changed rules and got this game banned in its country. Laws and certain regulations and restrictions are not going to solve the problem. To fight online gaming addiction, self-control, time management, and focus are mainly required. Good parenting, positive family time, and socializing with friends can prove helpful. In some serious cases, guidance from a counselor may be necessary. With the support of family and society, a person suffering from severe addiction can be brought out.
