Is there such a thing as a Gaming Addiction?

[Robbie T]

Just a thought but is there such a thing as a "gaming addiction" or are kids just bored nowadays. It's just when we were young we use to go out on our bikes and come home at tea time. Because the way of the world, it is no longer safe for children to go out all day, hence they stay at home in the evenings, get bored and go and play on there play stations, Xbox type machines etc. Here they are able to play with their friends via the internet. Its almost like the days of the CD radio where when you were at home, you use to go to your room and chat to your friends on a CB Radio. Does anyone agree with me, and if so what can we do about this problem??

I am with you on that one. I think kids are bored and its their escape from reality.

I think the parents need to take control of their kids and limit the time they are on there. It's not up to the kids.
