Stop Shutting Your Eyes to Internet Nuisance---Online Game
A friend of my elder brother’s came to ask me for help a few minutes ago. After hearing his story and seeing him off, I’ve got a lump in my throat, which almost made me suffocated as it does every time I hear such old same stories. Why is this all happening again and again?
A few months ago the poor father came to consult me about whether he should agree to buy his son a computer. After getting confirmed that the teenage was a frequent netbar-goer, I gave him a serious warning that his son might have been an Online Game addict, and that it’s really hard to kick the bad habit. However, hoping that an computer of his own might be able to stop the rebellious boy from keeping going to netbar, (I call it Internet Opium Center) the father made up his mind to make compromise with the boy and buy him one. Having been tired of accompanying others to buy computers, I simply gave him some clues about computer purchase. Later I was told he bought a Legend and soon after the computer arrived the family applied for an Internet Connection Service, which cost them 90 yuan each month.
“It worked,” said the father, “he isn't going to netbar and is now staying home.” However, it didn’t take long to make the father worried. “He now glues his face to the computer screen day in and day out,” murmured the father, desperate, and heaved a deep hopeless sigh, “he is no longer that young; he should have realized what his future may become if he keeps having his head in the cloud…but what can we do? The teacher says his performance at school is going from bad to worse!”
I didn’t know what I should say to comport the heartbroken father. I had tried to break the dead harmful potential of computer games to the father gently, and I didn’t find it useful to repeat again. Obviously the purchase of the computer is nothing but adding fuel to the flames, and the son has already been deeply trapped.
I am not the ONE and I have no wonder drug. Addicts to drugs could be cured, well, more or less, but can addicts to such Internet nuisance rid themselves of the spiritual opium? I am usually an optimist but this time I am not.
Where does the most dangerous factor of such nuisance lie? Alcoholic and cigarette are well propagated and well known for their potential harm to health physically and mentally; heroin and opium are severely banned officially everywhere in the world; gambling and prostitute-going are known of harmful potential, too. What about the new hi-tech Internet Online Games? Should these evil things be considered legal and even of “educational effect”? Shouldn’t the devil-like Online Opium Centers be well disciplined and well supervised? Yeah, they produce remarkable tax, but never forget the price might be our next young generation!
Look around, people, look and find out what’s happening around you. Such story is not only some printed characters reported on newspapers and our ears will be full of such old stories if we simply keep having our heads in the sand.
Say you disagree with me if you are happy to see your OWN CHILD getting addicted to the Goddamn Internet Online Games.
Panpanpan.
