My 16 year old son became addicted to his game to the point of skipping school, only hanging with other gamers. Considering his main "friends" the voices of other gamers who were locked away as well. He would have friends over who brought their own x-box and 5 boys would be in a room all in their own worlds. We finally pulled the cord, and he had a 5 day melt down. He does not have an x box now, but he does play at friends homes, and many mothers have told me that they have had to detach him on occasion. This article hit it’s mark straight into my heart.
