Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess when get were young. Playing games teaches children how to get along with others, and it also help to exercise their minds and bodies. However. children today append most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games.

Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not cat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.

Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, they fail in the exams.

Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted, Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean map. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. As a result, he died while gaming! This is one example of the dangers of video gaming.
