Abstract

There has been a lot of research about the impact of online platforms on students’ behavior. This study describes the relationship between excessive video game use and learners. It is necessary for students to be aware of the consequences and negative effects that video games have on them. Gaming addiction influences not only GPA but also social life, self-control, and health. For this study, students from an all-inclusive school in China received a survey and anonymously gave their opinions. By using percentage graphs, it is possible and easier to explain the effects of video games on adolescents. This research will help future studies related to gaming addiction and students performance. Nowadays, people are not aware of how serious this mental health condition is. It compromises not only daily life routines but also an individual’s mental and physical health. Many factors might lead adolescents to be addicted to video games, but the paper mentions the most common consequences and important causes. Citizens should expand their knowledge on this topic, not only for adolescents but also for people around them.
