such as setting up an anti-addiction system to limit the daily time for youngsters to play the game and updating its system for parents to monitor children using its games.
Addiction to internet games has a great effect on youngsters in many ways. First, youngsters lack self-control so they sometimes spend too much time on games, which results in their poor performance in school and bad health. Second, playing games is a waste of money and some youngsters even do something illegal to get money for playing games. What’s more, internet addiction may affect their mental health as well, such as withdrawing from society.
So it’s necessary to have control over youngsters’ playing internet games. Personally, our government should make laws to control game developers and youngsters. Besides, parents should spare more time to give their children more useful guidance. And youngsters should learn to manage time and live a meaningful life. (150 words)
