Stepping Away from Online Games

Nowadays, more and more college students are addicted to online games.Those games may be funny and exciting, but are very harmful to thoseaddicts.

In my opinion, there are many disadvantages of game addiction.Firstly,online games take

up a lot of players’ time for study. Many of the addicts foundthemselves forced to drop out of school for poor academic performance. Secondly,addicts tend to isolate themselves from the reality. What’s worse , indulging inthe virtual world for a long time, they are more liable to suffer mental problemand physical collapse. Thirdly , players are exposed to too much violent andunhealthy material, which is definitely harmful

to their growth.

In short,I cannot see any benefits from online games.Study should be theprimary concern of college students. Therefore,I do hope they can step away fromonline games.
