They play until they do not realize that the time is passing and some of them can even give up their meals just to continue their challenges. From day to night they just cannot stop themselves, so the games become endless and meaningless. As their interests in games are much higher than their school works, some students even neglect their homework and they think of copying from their friends by the next day. If this case continues on, they will not learn anything, causing their academic performances to go downhill, especially of those who are addicted to these video games, they cannot concentrate on their studies as their minds have already been occupied by the games.

         Health problem is the most important ill effect in playing video games. Many of the teenagers spend all of their free time playing video games by skip meals or lose sleep because of your excessive game play, video games addiction can seriously impact your health. The addiction of video games can lead to such medical issues as headaches, eyestrain, syndrome pain and numbness that u may feel in your hands, shoulders and elbows.
