teens feel a sense of power and achievement when they play online games. They considered it as bonding
with their family, friends, relatives and neighbors. Some players are just influenced by the people around

source of stress relief and recreation. And there are also ways to prevent addiction such as set a limit on
the duration and time that you can spend on online games, choose to pursue other activities, such as
