My viewpoint about computer games

A 12-year-old Russian boy played the computer games until he died! When I read this news, I was really shocked. How could that happen! It was so unbelievable!
This was the whole thing happened: A boy whose name was Nropb went to Internet bar to play computer games. Unfortunately, he was out of his gourd after 12 hours playing without any warning. Although he was sent to the hospital immediately, he didn’t wake. This tragedy happened because he concentrated on the game overly and he was stressed all the time, so he got faint.
This news makes me to think a lot.
First of all, I consider if the computer games are good. Basically, I treat them as bad things because they can cause lots of negative impacts especially online games. This news is an example and I have another illustration which I can still remember clearly. Before I came to Singapore, I had roughly four months to stay in my home. I wanted to spend some time, so I found a new online computer game. When I started playing this game, I had already thought about what I should do after I went to Singapore. And I made a decision: I could play first. This game was attractive indeed, even I didn’t want to have dinner and spend the time on it instead. At that time, I spent about eight hours per day to play this game and I had a good time. Fifteen days before I came here, I realized that I should stop playing but I found that I could stop. I thought that I could play one more day every day. Five days later, I knew I couldn’t use a gentle method, so I deleted the game. Even I had a dream about it after I deleted it, but time went by, it gradually disappeared in my mind. Now, I tried to stay away from the online games because I knew I dangerous it was! But why people made the games? Because they can give us happiness and excitement, so we can play them a bit and we have to control ourselves to try our best not to play them frequently.
Next, I want to ask that how can a 12-year-old boy go into an Internet bar? It is illegal! In Russia, as well as China, the law is very specific that teenagers who are below 18 years old cannot go into a net bar. Unluckily, many net bars allow them to go because the majority of their customers are teenagers. In this way, they can make more money. I think they should be managed strictly.
In addition, in this news, his parents allowed him to go to the Internet bar as they thought it was OK in Summer Holidays! I think this is his parents’ fault because they shouldn’t allow him to go as it is easy to let their son submerge into Internet, it is quite harmful! He may make bad friends or get some bad habit and a lot of teenagers’ crimes starts at going to Internet!
In a word, I consider that staying away from computer games must be good for us!
