Some people think that computer games are bad for children, while others believe that they are useful. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of computer games and give your opinion

There is an opinion that

computer

games

have negative effects on

children

, while others argue that

children

can be positively affected by

computer

games

. Even though some people insist that

children

could be addicted to

computer

games

, I agree that

computer

games

are helpful for

children

to reduce the

stress

caused by the pressure of academic performance, because

computer

games

can

also

be useful for their academic accomplishment. On the one hand, some people argue that

children

are more likely to be absorbed in

computer

games

. Since most

computer

games

are made to attract young

children

, they can lose their self-control ability because they are too young to handle themselves compared to adults.

Therefore

, when

children

play

computer

games

, they can’t realize how much time has passed because they fall deeply into the

games

.

Consequently

,

this

leads young kids to severe addiction in some cases.

For example

, according to an experiment done by Oxford University in 2018, after observing both adults and

children

who had played

computer

games

for a year, they found that 70% of

children

were addicted to the

games

, and the percentage of

children

who were addicted to the

games

was 40% higher than the percentage for adults.

However

, I don’t agree with

this

idea because if parents can manage their kids not to spend a lot of time playing

computer

games

, there is less possibility for young kids to be addicted to the

games

.

On the other hand

, playing

computer

games

is a useful activity for reducing

students

’ academic

stress

. Nowadays, there is so much burden on

students

because of their academic performance, which leads them to get stressed significantly.

In contrast

to high pressure on

students

, they have fewer opportunities to relieve their

stress

because of their busy schedules for a variety of lessons and studies. To cope with the problem, playing

computer

games

is a good way to address their

stress

. While playing

games

, they can move forward, by breaking the stages in the game, which makes them feel a sense of achievement. Eventually,

this

leads

students

to reduce their

stress

, which is from academic performance.

For instance

, in 2021, one research team interviewed high school

students

in Seoul and asked them how they dealt with their

stress

when they get pressured

by

study. 50% of

students

said that playing

games

is

the only way to reduce their

stress

. In my opinion, I agree with

this

idea because playing

computer

games

will not only reduce

stress

but

also

be beneficial for

students

to increase their concentration on studies.

Consequently

, playing

computer

games

will be helpful for

students

to achieve academic success. In conclusion, even though

children

can get addition to

computer

games

, I agree that the advantages of

computer

games

outweigh the disadvantages because

children

can relieve their

stress

while playing

games

and they can

also

be useful for

students

to achieve academic accomplishment.
