individual's behaviour and mental development negatively. It is been proved that continuous gaming can cause
addiction
toward gamming and when an individual who is already addicted to games is not allowed for given advice to stop gamming, aggressive behaviour is been observed.
For example
, I was a game addict during my school days and whenever someone disturbs me or tried to correct me my response was always aggressive to that person due to

to games.
In other words

This
addiction
is no different from a drugs
addiction
, both affect us mentally. Computer games are so graphical that children would always love to play, no matter how much time they spent; they always want more time to play. When they get involved in computing gaming, they stop going outside and playing with other kids. In-person interaction and outdoor activities play a great role in the child’s self-development, but when they choose to play computer games
instead
, their self-development stops there. In conclusion, gaming is an addictive element and that affects a child's development adversely. We should not introduce
such
trend of gamming to our children for their own good.
Therefore
, I agree with the statement that gamming is harmful to our children.
