A total ban on online gaming for minors?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-03-07

The phenomenon of online game addiction is becoming more and more serious, and members and experts have called for a complete ban on minors under the age of 18 from playing online games.

First of all, I fully understand the concerns of experts about gaming addiction, around me, there are many children and teenagers who have lost their healthy lifestyle because of gaming addiction, they often play games for a long time, resulting in a decline in academic performance, physical fitness, mood swings, and some children even have psychological problems because they can't control their dependence on games, these situations are deeply worrying, and I believe that many parents have similar situations.

A total ban on online gaming by minors is not the best way to solve the problem, there is nothing wrong with gaming as a form of entertainment, the problem is that we need to find a balanced way to manage it, and we should help children treat games properly through education and guidance, rather than simply taking them away.

Schools and parents should work together to strengthen the education and guidance of children, should help them understand the positive and negative effects of games, guide them to correctly balance games and other needs, schools can hold some publicity and education activities, improve students' understanding of games, enhance their ability to resist games, at the same time, families should also actively participate in children's lives, play games with them, and enhance parent-child relationships.

We need to strengthen the regulation of games, and game companies should take more responsibility to promote the development of game content that is beneficial to the physical and mental health of young people. At the same time, clearer regulations should also be formulated to limit the time and duration of game use, and online game supervision apps can be developed and improved to monitor the spread of unhealthy information and bad games at any time, and prevent children from being exposed to content that is not suitable for them in a timely manner.

In 2003, China included the e-sports industry in the sports project, and achieved certain results, and the country is also promoting its development, the age of e-sports players is 16-20 years old, and from the age of 12 or 13 years old, systematic game training is required, youth training is the core of the e-sports industry, prohibiting minors from participating in the competition and limiting the time of online games will inevitably lead to the collapse of the youth training system of the e-sports industry, whether it is possible to provide unrestricted special accounts for underage e-sports players, Not forced offline by the system during training and competition time, and given different game time according to age and physical and mental health? Solving the problem of game addiction requires the participation of multiple parties, and schools, families, and game companies should all work together to form a joint force. At the same time, game companies should also consciously abide by relevant laws, regulations, and policy standards, create a healthy and safe online ecology, and create a healthy and happy environment for children to grow up.
