For many adults, the Internet is largely unknown territory. Today's young people, however, have learned very early how to use this technology, so it's an environment they're familiar with and they navigate with ease.
More than 47% of respondents to this survey said that their parents do not know or may not know the games they play online. In addition, 33% of respondents said they play online on computers in their room rather than in the main rooms of the house where parents or guardians can watch them playing. Lack of understanding of the situation and parental supervision, and the fact that young people play online isolated from the rest of the family, can make young people choose games that are not appropriate for their age or whose settings installation do not provide them with maximum security and privacy.
For example, of all respondents who preferred massively multiplayer online games, 42% said they play most often in their room, while 47% of respondents who prefer interactive social games play in the room. main housing. Because of the social nature of massively multiplayer online games (ie, external newsgroups, chat, formation of brotherhoods or clans), and their often violent content, these players are increasingly interact with other players online games for longer and longer periods. This can lead to greater alienation of players from family and friends, desensitization to violence and increased aggression and gambling addiction online.
To the ignorance of the games played by their children is added an absence of limit of play time imposed by the parents. 41% of survey respondents say their parents do not limit their playing time, but impose limits on themselves; 35% say they can play online as often as they want.
Online game addiction
When asked if they believe that online gambling is addictive, a large majority of young people respond in the affirmative. As their responses are a reflection of what they are experiencing, many young people recognize that time spent online can become out of control.
The majority of youth who responded to the survey felt that they knew how to limit their playing time and believed that they were able to stop playing completely. Of all respondents, 48% said "yes, I could stop playing without problems," while 19% said "yes, it would take me a long time to stop thinking about 11% of respondents indicated that they can not stop playing on their own (64% boys and 36% girls).
The responses of several young people show their knowledge of the complex world of gambling and their ability to identify the addiction problems of their friends (and sometimes in them), and their concerns and empathy towards these friends. The answers also present thoughtful and creative solutions to help their friends and show a willingness to succeed.
