Russia has faced the outcome of the effects of children getting addicted to computer games.

A 10-year-old school boy committed suicide by jumping from his 19th floor apartment after his parents banned him from playing computer games.

Andrei Smirnov, a class three student committed suicide after receiving the wrath of his parents due to bad conduct in school and a poor performance in studies.

The boy's class teacher had written remarks about his bad conduct in the school diary which he had tried to erase to escape the wrath of his parents.

Angered by the teacher's remarks and their son's attempt to deceive them, Andrei's parents banned him from playing games on his computer.

According to Director of Centre for Legal Psychological Assistance Mikhail Vinogradov, children who are banned from using their computers could easily resort to suicide, since they do not realise the consequences of taking the extreme step.

but this virtual world of computer has been very attractive to children who like to see themselves fighting villains,racing cars and being kings.It's upto parents and guardians to take care of children not to get addicted to the gaming world!.

that's pretty much where i'm at. i'm not sure which to be more flabbergasted at... this younger generation for having their priorities so out of whack (video games having higher importance than education), or their parents for allowing it to happen?

yeah, it's computer games.

Before that, it was D&D.

Before that, it was Judas Priest.


Anyone consider that some people are just fvcked in the head?

I wonder what would happen if people started playing video games backwards?

I don't mind my sons playing games (they only have Nintendo DS) but I do mind if that's all they do. Fortunately my young blokes have a wide variety of interests.

Can't say I was surprised at the content of some of the comics he reads.

This forum is often good for reaffirming that. ;)

I can't wait until I'm banned from playing Gears of War and Halo 3 becuase my daughter will start asking questions..."Why are his insides all over the screen?" "Why's he screaming and gurgling?" "He's just sleeping, right?"

Oh joy!
