ONLINE games such as PUBG have been affecting teenagers negatively. These have become an addiction and it is said they are more dangerous than drug addiction.

Addicted people also exhibit social phobias. Too much video games make children and adults socially isolated and may also create sleep disorders. Owing to online games a child spends hardly any time on other activities, interacting with family and friends. I hope authorities concerned will find a solution to this issue affecting our children.
