Playing computer games is one of my favorite pastimes. It really makes me feel good whenever I play. Playing computer games also makes me happy. It also cures some of my problems. These are just some of the effects of computer games to me, actually, good effects. Computer games, though, has good effects. But aside from the good effects, playing computer games also brings bad effects to me.
I’ve been a computer addict since I was in grade six. I was really addicted to computer games and I could not stop playing those games. Computer games really brought a lot of good effects on me. It makes me happy, makes me feel good, inspires me somehow, cures some of my problems, and many more. But, aside from the good effects of playing computer games, it also has really bad effects on me.
Being a computer addict really needs a lot of money because you need to pay for the rental of the computer that you used in the internet café, if you don’t have your own computer. Sometimes, it takes me five hours to finish playing a game and renting a computer for five hours is very expensive. It really affected my savings a lot. Without knowing, my money slowly depleted and I was really shocked when I found out that I didn’t save that much at the end of that month. I really felt bad because I spent a lot of money just because of those games.
Computer games also affected my performance in school. My grades became lower because of being a computer addict. My time for studying was really converted to those games. Instead of going to school early to study, I always go to school early just to play computer games. And instead of going home early, I often go home very late because I just stay in the internet café playing those games. I really forget all my school obligations because every time I arrive at home, I then feel sleepy and tired and I can’t study my lessons anymore because I immediately go to bed and sleep. At the end of the grading period, my parents were really disappointed because of my performance at school. Playing computer games really makes a person dull!
Computer games really consumes a lot of time. It really ruined my schedules. Instead of spending my time with my family and friends, I often spend the rest of my time at the internet café and play computer games. I even forget my household chores just because of playing computer games. It also teaches me violence. My real world was really converted to the world of computer games. Whenever I have to go with my friends, I always arrive late because of those games.
Playing computer games also made me look ugly because I wake up early in the morning just to play computer games and I sleep late at night just to play and play. It ruined my eyes, and my face. Now, I wear eyeglasses because I can’t see clearly anymore and I have really big eye bags because I forget to sleep because of playing computer games.
