Game addiction: Study says 8.5 percent of teens are hooked on video games
by Thor on Apr. 20th, 2009
A couple years ago, we posted an item about psychology/psychiatry professionals debating if people can get addicted to video games. It generated a lot of discussion here on the Buzz. Here's a new study – done through a written survey – that says 8.5 percent of American teens exhibit behavior patterns that would reflect an addiction to video games. What do you think? Read this report and share your opinions here....if you don't need to go back to playing that video game.

Speaking of game addiction, this article points to a spike in injuries related to gaming on the Nintendo Wii.

Give kids more chores and work for them to do and they won't be addicted to video games. Of course, the other side of that is, where are these parents??????
i dont think kids should have more chores because kids have enough things to do as in school, some chores, cleaning rooms, ect.
