"Staring at screens for hours"? How do you think we got here?
Arnav Dinesh Kamath I know right? She would be out of a job without TV
You’re right
I know right there like stay out of your phone if I did I would have not seen this 😋
best comment ever
It's an escape that's what it is, it's because life sucks, everyone my age just literally wants to die, gaming is his escape from suicide
Well 12 hours of gameplay, skipping school
I wouldn’t go that far
Yeah.
It’s most people’s escape from reality
Radiation Toaster Fridge I agree,skipping school is too far
Boomer Zierath so true
haha how old are you?
12 hours? That's cute.
FZGames lmao sadly i was thinking the same thing 😂😂
rookie numbers
GXD pffft rookie numbers 😂😂😂
GXD my 3 year old brother and unborn sister can do them with no rest
bro i thought that this was my comment XD
Watching TV for hours... Nah Thats fine
Playing games for hours... D I G I T A L H E R O I N
* R e a l s h i t*!
lol not to mention watching tv for hours doesn't stimulate your brain at all like video games
He doesn't have a job and skips school
He's useless
LOL You must be really young.... They said the exact same thing about TV, and the exact same thing when "Nintendo" first came out... the only problem is that now it's EVERYWHERE, you can talk to people on it which makes you feel like you're being social.... Also, don't tell me these people weren't EXACTLY like drug addicts lol.... The kid had dreams about playing video games... You know what they call those in NA? "Drug dreams"... Some addicts have dreams where they're trying to score drugs, actually getting drugs, whatever, for YEARS after they stop using. He was having the exact same mental responses as a drug addict or alcoholic. Same with the other guy. And I'm sorry, I just don't believe that anyone ever had THAT bad of a response with TV.
FINALY SOMEONE SPEAKING UP
Judging from his bad aim...gonna need more than 60 hours a week
Cameron O'Connor so fkn true

DazikenHD video games >>> drugs
Aaron Amaral ouch. ☹️

DazikenHD True, haha!
Trur
I don’t think gaming is the problem. He has mental and emotional issues and playing games is just a distraction for him. I feel like the parents haven’t spent enough bonding time with him and they basically just gave up on him.
No Name No Name that’s kinda like me man. I’m 15 nearly 16 and have school problems. I’m trying to sort everything out atm.
This is exactly what it is, no mentally healthy person does something continuously for 12+ hours
I agree, this kid went to my school. He always seemed off. I showed this vid to my teacher and he said that the parents always blamed him and other teachers for his addiction.
That’s super true STOP LYING NEWS
You could not be more correct
They have to understand that not everyone who plays video games are like these people.
It’s an escape from reality, from depression or stress.
But yeah skipping school and neglecting your kids is too far
iTryhard This news station is over exaggerating with a bit of this, too.
I had a serious foot injury last year.. couldn't work/drive 3months. Never played video games before. Husband brought home Xbox one, it seriously helped me deal with depression.
iTryhard i
iTryhard right
Na boi everyone skips school it’s nothing “too far”
60 hours a week?! Those are rookie numbers!

No so much now, lol
I'm at least on my Devices for about 9000 hours per summer. ( I'm not making the over 9000 joke because it's old)
60 Hours/Week = Terrible CSGO aim.

lmao i have played csgo for 50 hours and my aim is better
Bruh his sens is too high no wonder he isnt good
oYeti_TV I play with 1 sens in csgo and 800 dpi, I still have good aim
thats a little too slow for me i do 3.21 and 400

Omg I was just about to type that
Gaming, can be an escape from reality, depression, and suicidal thoughts. You have to remember, young people sometimes want to kill themselves
Edit: Notice, I said ESCAPE, not fix.
Oh DuDe Ur So EdGy
Most of those people are depressed and having suicidal thoughts because of playing way to much and not leaving the house a lot . This is what causes a lot of modern depression , staying home all day and getting stuck on technology.
Drugs and alcohol can also be an escape. And that's the point. If you are depressed and suicidal that's a problem you'd be better off handling, not escaping from.
xXfencesXx handle by going through with it?
Nipixel Gaming playing video games all day won’t fix depression

“Nearly 5 hours gaming” some people literally play for 10 hours a day and still have no brain damage
@Youkon Dukon for some, video games are used for a distraction from outside influence because they don't get social interaction normally so it really doesn't matter
WOOF ikr
During my school years I played video games for 5+ hours a day and I still do my school work (Go to school) and I got good grades. And even after I finished my education, I still go to work and then played video games after I finished my job for the day
Id rather have my son do this than be out on the street doing drugs with his friends🤦♀️
Poison you a horrible mother
whats wrong with you
Neither is healthy tbh. It's like picking your own poison, in the end it doesn't matter which one you rather let your child pick; it will end up damaging him in the end.
미셜비 you’d seriously rather have your kid do drugs?
@@coluurs5660 I'd have my kids do NEITHER too much video gaming nor drugs. Both are mutually exclusive and are negative addictions. Too much videogaming isn't simply the alternate answer to doing drugs.

YOUR AN ADDICT, STOP PLAYING NOW
SAVE YOURSELF
you should disown ur da
As a Gamer, we play so long because it distracts us from what’s going on in the outside world. There could be something upsetting us and we’d just wanna play our games so we can forget about it. Gaming is not the problem
True but it's also possible being addicted.
I used to be a gamer too playing 17 hours per day during my day off and 6 hours on working days until I quit my job just so I can game all day, wasn't worth it.
It's hard to accept the fact that gaming addiction can cause a lot of problems too physically and mentally.
Curing gaming addiction takes a lot of time really, and it's not easy.
Not developing healthy coping mechanisms is
Definitely need to do something else tho

The anti-video game community is something else. First is it was the violence argument, now they're trying to make us look bad by comparing gamers to heroin addicts. Give up already.
Goblin Z lmao it’s a hobby just like everyone else has. Also where else would I Iive dumbass?
Goblin Z its a hobby that is nothing like drug addiction. Its fun and enjoyable. Yes, people need breaks, but do you really think everybody has an addiction?
Revulsion i used to clock in 80 + hours on my xbox 360 the longest i been on till 12 am.

Now I spend 80+ hours sewing and they are fine with it. I play only one game only thats minecraft it stimulates my creativity.
Goblin Z im actually 19 not 30.

Games are not the problem, it’s how the kids respond to it and how the parents handle their kids
Mail Dude games are the problem, in an “addiction” it is hard to respond nicely when someone is trying to get you out of something your mind is already corrupted in.
@@bshsshvshdshensndheh6110 Corrupted is the wrong word. This boy has some issues but his parents are passive and ultimately it is their faults he turned out this way. I play games and get great grades and I'm also not this aggressive and idiotic.

This is why you set boundaries when they are small. Their tantrums hurt less. I think people are really lost. It is taboo to even parent anymore, everything we say or do is wrong. Some people just choose to sit on their hands in confusion, but we have to fight for our kids and set them up for a positive future! Don't let people tell you how to parent your kids, do the right thing!
People just dont understand why playing video games is fun, and complain about us while they are sitting in front of the tv 10hours a day.
XandarLP deadass or even their phone
XandarLP they are not making the point that video games are not fun, they are saying that too much video game or electronic activity is not good for your health.
+Kaultier the only point we here are saying is that tv and video games are essentially the same, if not tv worse

So I can play outside for 10 hours but I can't play games for 10 hours?
Playing video games for 10 hours a day isn't necessarily bad so long as you're paying attention to your studies, working on developing some other skill, and especially being social... but that's extremely unlikely. Being social is extremely important because it's the skill that will provide you with the most advantages in life. When you're playing outside with friends for ten hours, you're at least honing those social skills. Though, "playing" outside can be just as bad as gaming, depending on who you are socializing with, since you can develop social habits that only hinder you as you get older. The important thing to note is the type of distinction you are making between the activities. What you are doing is making a *moral* comparison. Sure, it isn't "right" that someone gets to enjoy doing something else for 10 hours a day and somehow that activity be more socially acceptable. But the fact is, it's not that the activity is more socially acceptable that makes it more worthwhile, it's that the activity is simply more beneficial. Being outside and participating in physical activities makes you more sexually and socially attractive as well for example.
As a rule of thumb, any activity that enhances skills that will be useful in adulthood is good, and any activity that reinforces behavior that will need to be changed later in life is bad. The reason being is that it's more difficult to change as an adult due to a decrease in neuroplasticity. If such habits persist into adulthood, you'll probably have to resort to cognitive behavioral therapy to get your life on track (time and money). The role of parents, similar to other members of the animal kingdom, is to provide *guidance* so that their offspring develop the skills necessary to survive in the surrounding environment. When you encourage your children to develop skills that are counterproductive to that goal (which parents often unknowingly do) you are developing behavioral problems that can produce a life-long struggle (in other words, ruining their lives). Unfortunately, you cannot fight the current with it comes to survival as an adult. You need a form of income, and you need to be social. If you can find a way to secure an income that's plentiful enough to put food on the table, a roof over your head, and to support your gaming habits... go for it. Just be sure that the life of a gaming addict is what you truly wish to have, because essentially the entirety of your actions will be central to that one activity. And you might just find later in life how regretful you are for pursuing such a fruitless ambition.

Drayonis Kids kill their parents nowadays for the least stupid things. This is a real problem. You ever heard of the Menendez Brothers? Look em up!
Drayonis I'll be 50 in a few yrs. lol. Anyway, I have 8 children that I have gone through this with. Half of them outgrew it. The other half I'm still working with. I get them out of the house away from the computers. Its a difficult matter especially if they suffer from anger issues. These kids nowadays are not like our generation assuming you are near my age.
I'm close to your age yes and that never happened in my house because I'm not discussing anything with kids. Parents are too soft on their kids and allowing them to get away with anything. Treating kids like adults. The fact that he even OWNS that computer is a problem. I tell mine everyday you don't have a room, I'm just letting you stay here.

VortexZeRo _ yeah it’d be cool if they got that through their thick skull
Not to mention the fact that the average age of a gamer is literally 35, yet they try to play the kid card.
I know
It’s called being a teenage boy
Timmons Gaming Gaming is one hell of a drug
Gaming 12 hours a day, skipping class, gaming till 4am and wake up at 11am, and punching the wall when their computer is taken away is NOT being a teenage boy
When I was a teenager I was drinking beer and eating pussy. Times must've changed...kid probably eats tide pods too.
CJ alicea Nope it's definitely called being a teenage boy.
Alo`haitz`Kerra it's called being a failure at life.

Roman James lol casual
Hes a silver 2
VGWOLF trash
lmao
Really a f’ing mri. Bro he’s a teen. Almost every teen is like this.
Leave the kid alone, its not an addiction. Its just an escape from the shitstorm that is life.
FlakeyJakey there is a lot you can do if you don’t get along with people or you are having trouble with different subjects and staring at a screen for hours will only cause more problems.
If he plays 60 hours week might as well make UA-cam so he can get payed for it
92G Gaming it's not that simple, you also have to edit
Trainer Red he better learn
92G Gaming I think u forgot about the time taken to get a big following before u get paired with ytube and actually get paid, the editing time and the render time...
92G Gaming you don't become big on UA-cam over night. And the pay is trash for a long time. 1$ every 1k view or so
Because people gonna freak out and be like no you can't get paid that easy simply just say work on it and hope to make money
I honestly don't understand why this is a concern. Sure people can get addicted to it, but people can get addicted to anything lol. You sure don't see 'over reading' or 'child plays too much sport' on the news. It's not the thing you're doing, it's how much you personally choose to attach yourself to it. If you want to shut out the rest of your life for your hobby, do it. Not the rest of the world's problem really :/
The Gaming Chicken It is looked as a problem because its bad for a persons health as they become addicted to it, not being active and causing problems in brain activity said in the vid. But when a person is addicted to sports it will be seen as okay because it is healthy for the body as they are active.
Do you know what logic is? Logic is a tool used to determine whether or not an argument can demonstrate the claim it attempts to make.
It's really simple. An illogical argument can not demonstrate its claim. A logical argument always demonstrates it's claim.
Your argument is fallacious. In order words, it relies on logical fallacies, thus being illogical.
For example, your claim that you can be addicted to anything is incorrect. Your claim that too much reading or playing too many sports has never been a concern is also incorrect.
Lastly, it sometimes IS what you are doing. And "choosing" to attach or not attach yourself to an addiction is nonsensical. That's the meaning and definition of an addiction. If you had the ability to simply "choose" to avoid addiction, addiction wouldn't be a problem.
There are a few more problems with you argument. Like saying it's no one else's problem. Sorry, but we don't live in a vacuum. This is the real world. Which means the things you do (or don't do) will affect other people.
@@jadejewell7716 I have not seen news stories about people addicted to reading and sports,
I may have contact with others but they do not get control me anymore them I get to control them
are you serious? Im guessing alot of the comments are from teens or something. too much video games is an issue. this kid was obviously not socializing and probably didn't have any friends. when he couldn't play them he got violent. seriously? he was dependent on it. I think alot of people are forgetting we are living in a time where parents don't let their kids out often, high tech gadgets and social media is making society more antisocial, thus making it harder for people to communicate in person. you're missing the bigger picture.
I didn't see/hear anywhere in the video that he was skipping school my guess is that he is homeschooled so he doesn't skip school and my guess assuming again is that he doesn't have a job and he didn't buy the computer so I don't think any of this is a big problem if they want to look into and interview someone why not the parents who bought him the computer or allowed him to get it
Yeah blame it on games not the bad parenting......
Ya it game parenting dont blame gameing companys for your life promblems.
right 😂😂
Nacer Hi hahahaha
he need asian mom... no kids can reply "stop!" like that to asian mom..
Or a black mom , or Mexican, or Italian

He would get the ass slapping of a century...
Nurul Aniza Zainudin True... My mom *WILL* kill me!
Nurul Aniza Zainudin ANY other race other than white wouldn't allow it honestly
Can't stand these parents ,blaming games ,when they should be bonding doing things with there kids ,,,fix the parents, or if the kid is good enough tell him to live stream make some money and express his feeling on the web, with millions of viewers
THANK YOU! I bet his parents just took the computer away and left him bored with no one. I met great friends gaming. Including my husband! We hike and swim in natural springs. But we play together most hours. XD This kid just needed bonding and other activities not to mention better games! hehe
Ive been playing video games since i was little, its a hobby, not an addiction. one reason i do play is because I'm not the best in social situations, and talking to people online helps with not feeling so lonely. any day id pick hanging out with a friend irl over a game, but sometimes i just dont have that option.
Yeah but he was trash so
ha troll
Shawn Thompson yeah... Its fucking redicoulous
Only 12 hours? Those are rookie numbers you gotta bump those up
I play games almost all day but I can stop playing easily.
oje _28 dude fr I play all day because I have nothing else to do I have everything done I’m not addicted there is just nothing else I like to do I earned the free time I did everything I needed to do now I’m free for the day
Same, i play whenever i have nothing to do, after i study practice hockey. But currently i have a broken leg so i dont have anything to do outside
same, I feel its a bit easier to stop playing now in days tho, got my girl, school and work... plus, I dont think its just me getting older, but games seem to be getting alot less fun now.
I guess the trick is to just find things worth doing, I don't think gaming is a waste of time tho, I do think its a waste for someone to do anything to the exclusion of everything else in their life...
@Christopher Risingberry i swear they all want a cookie.
Yo josh was playing CSGO 😂😂 Just let him rank up.
Dat Guy where can i download it
Of course. Adults trying to take away what they didn't have during their childhood
you dont get to take away my right to play video games in a healthy, responsible way because a teen was crazy and a dad was neglecting his kids
I play 14 hours every week... my dad thinks I have a problem
2 hours a day isn't bad wtf
WHAT 14 H WTF SAAAAAAD
You should show him this video to prove that you don't have a problem.
Kim Jong -Trill i agree
I play 7 hours a week and I am not allowed to play on the weekdays, my parents say I have an addiction...
This is only 1 person this is not even 20 percent of people. I can play for 12 hours without being aggressive. Video games also improve muscle memory and reactions. Not make them worse.
Bryan Sai I learned driving from video games.
Bryan Sai Yes so true. They make me happy and when I am told to come of I come of
not an addiction really it means he has no friends and can't learn nothing
Grandmama Spif lol same
Grandmama Spif I'm 14 and I don't need no friends. I'd died without my iPhone 7 Plus and my 4k tv. Those are my best friends. Although my best friend will be replaced in September with the iPhone 8. I will always love my 7 Plus and every iPhone I had before that
legofreak You sound sad, go make some friends from online or your school 😂
Grandmama Spif an addiction is something caused by an underlying issue for example you go to Duncan donuts everyday for a coffee donut it's a habit not an addiction although sometimes coffee can be addictive
legofreak Wow...that is the saddest shit I've ever heard...get friends
Parents get off your gonna get bad eyes
Son : Wish I Had Your Glasses
you're*
we are all addicted to something. so it's better to be addicted to video games rather then drugs
everything cost money.. games/ electricity/ drugs.. this world is revolved around money/ technology etc
Shadey No no he's addicted to video game heroin tho 😑😂😂
It does the same damage to your brain that drugs do. When looking at a brain scan of someone on heroine and someone with gaming addiction it looks almost identical. They explained some of it on this video. +Shadey
