I've seen a lot of people being hooked up with online games especially since the pandemic began. Now that we are locked up in our own house, we have no choice other than to find something that could ease our boredom. It can be learning how to cook, to play an instrument or to study for entrance examinations (usually for upcoming senior highschool student or college freshmen) but some people found playing online games as fun as the things mentioned above. Some of the online games that are popular today can be played through our mobile phone such as Call Of Duty, Minecraft, Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile and many other to mention. The others can be played through our personal computer such as GTA 5, Valorant and etc. For sure, some of you could relate and has an opinion to the games listed above.
However, some elders look to online games as a distraction to studies, a horrific way to waste one's life. But, I disagreed to such thinking. Online games becomes most of the youth’s stress-reliever and air-breather to the pressure in school, family problems and anxiety about things we can't figure out. The older people can't expect us to just study all the time because that will suffocate us to death. They should understand that their generation and today's generation is different in timeline and on how we cope up to the shits that surrounds us.
In fact, base on my own experiences and some of the people I've met, online games do not disturb education because if you're really stupid, then you're stupid. I know someone who plays online games everyday but still managed to be a scholar in the school he went to. Not only that, he also maintained his high grades while having fun with games. I, myself, could still find time to play games even when I have an examination the next day but I still managed to got perfect scores. I'm not encouraging those who read this to do what I did but the purpose of my experiences was to prove that online games is not a distraction BUT how you manage your time is.
P.S I'm not good with words but I hope I clearly stated the point I'm trying to convey. If I have something I should work on, please kindly tell me!
