How are online games having a bad effect on our children?

A few days ago, we used to know games as football, cricket, swimming or running, but now in this modern universe, games mean online computers or video games with various devices. Now we don't have to go outside to play games. When we want to play, it can be sunny, stormy or rainy. Now we can play any game we want. However, these games do not help us exercise our bodies like before or are of any benefit to our bodies. Rather, the games that are available in the current situation are very harmful to our bodies and eyes and the whole body. And these games are online games or video games.

A few days ago, boys and girls used to go out to the field to play. After returning from school, they would take a bath and finish eating lunch. Then they would play cricket with their friends. In addition, the children were addicted to various outdoor games including football and badminton. No matter how much their parents called them inside the room, the 90s generation never wanted to go inside the room and they did not have a very good addiction to education. Because their dream was to become a good player. For that, the 90s generation used to play games involving physical activity like cricket, football or volleyball. But now the situation is completely opposite.

Now we live in the world of technology. Science has brought us ease in every field. Now we no longer have to go out of the house to play. Because we have smartphones in our hands. Although not everyone has a smartphone, there is definitely a laptop or computer at home. Where it is possible to play video games very easily by installing them. Apart from laptop computers or smartphones, there are devices with different designs of games. Different types of games are installed on the devices. After returning from school, a child easily starts gaming through the device. He may not even be able to tell when it will be evening while playing.

He brings the device right in front of his eyes. Then he starts playing. On the one hand, indoor games cause a lot of damage to the eyes, on the other hand, the mental development of children cannot develop well. Only at home using any modern device with internet connection, we are downloading different types of games from Playstore or Google store and our children are playing them. They are talking alone inside the house. The current generation has no proper idea or knowledge about when to eat or when to sleep.

I have seen a real-life incident. My elder brother's younger son Arifin. He was a very brilliant student. He always secured first place in primary and high school. After entering college life, his life changed drastically.

Since his son will now study abroad, his parents bought him a smartphone. Arifin used to constantly share various online media with his friends while going to the college campus. He even saved various routines and suggestions related to studies online.

Finally, Arifin came to know about online games from his friends. Now he has to install Free Fire games on his mobile and he has started playing Free Fire. From the day he started playing Free Fire games, Arefin's life has started to decline. Because he has now completely abandoned studies. He no longer wants to study. He now spends about 18 hours a day playing Free Fire games. He has a lot of fame in the area. All the people who are inside the gaming zone call Arifin the master or guru of games.

This reaction did not last long. Why did a child with a healthy brain enter online games? He is now suffering from various mental problems. He has been seen by a good doctor and the psychologist has suggested to keep him away from all kinds of video devices. But it is not possible in any way. Because Arefin plays video games just like we eat three meals a day. If the video device is taken away from him for a minute, it is as if he will not survive in this world.

Finally, the phone was taken away from him. Now Arefin has lost his balance. He cannot remember anything. He has a tendency to forget everything.

He does one thing a second time. Basically, a brilliant student ended his own life by getting addicted to these online games. In that case, if the situation could have been completely reversed. If Arefin had played cricket or football or other outdoor games to exercise his body, his family would not have seen this day. So I think that these online games are ruining the lives of hundreds of children more than just examples. To give our future generation a beautiful brain and to give them something good, we need to remove video devices from them today. We need to constantly encourage them to play outdoor games. Otherwise, our entire generation will be ruined. Just because of their addiction to video games.
