Recently, Hong Mingji, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, put forward a proposal during the two sessions: a complete ban on online games for minors. He stressed that it is not only necessary to strengthen the control of college students' online gaming time, but also to resolutely and completely prohibit minors under the age of 18 from accessing online games. Committee member Hong pointed out that although the existing online games have set up an anti-addiction system, in reality, there are still many minors who are deeply affected by online games**, unable to effectively control themselves, and fall into the predicament of game addiction. If the existing control measures are difficult to achieve the desired effect, then it is particularly necessary to introduce a policy at the national level to completely prohibit minors from playing online games.
Globally, the addictive nature of online games has been confirmed by scientific research, and its negative impact on minors cannot be ignored. Due to their immature psychological and physical development and weak self-control, minors are often difficult to resist in the face of a stimulating and attractive virtual world, which in turn leads to serious online game dependence. According to the latest "China Youth Internet Addiction Data Report", there are 14 young Internet users in China1% of Internet addicts, the number is as high as more than 24 million; In addition, among the non-Internet addict population, about 13% of adolescents have a significant tendency to Internet addiction. A large number of problem cases show that online game addiction has become an important factor that disrupts the normal life order of adolescents, harms their physical and mental health, seriously affects their academic progress, and even induces various illegal behaviors, and even the tragedy of sudden death caused by excessive fatigue.
The quality of online games on the current market is uneven, and many of the content contains elements that are not suitable for minors, such as violence, pornography and other bad information, which can easily have a profound negative impact on children's mental health. In addition to the mental harm, the impact of online games on the physical health of minors is also severe. Staring at the screen for a long time to play games has not only caused the myopia rate of teenagers in my country to soar to 537%, and sedentary and improper posture can easily lead to vision loss, cervical spondylosis, low back pain and other health problems, which seriously affect the physical development of adolescents.
Nowadays, many primary school students are talking about "eating chicken" and "idol stars". Looking back on the past, when there were no smartphones and electronic products, children's recess time was spent in the playground frolicking and chasing, jumping rubber bands, throwing sandbags and other activities not only exercised the body but also released the pressure of learning. After school, after completing their homework, they will help the family to do some housework, such as cleaning the yard, mowing the grass and feeding the cows, playing hide and seek with their friends, playing with wooden figures, playing glass balls, throwing pieces of paper, or going to the fields to fish and catch crickets.
In modern society, we should cherish children's innocent nature and the right to grow up healthily. Advocating for the prohibition of minors from playing online games is not to deprive them of their right to entertainment, but to advocate a return to nature, healthy and beneficial ways of playing. In the sunlit fields and woods, children can run and explore to their heart's content, develop independent thinking skills and teamwork spirit, experience the ups and downs of real life, and build a resilient character and healthy body. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the regulations prohibiting minors from playing online games as soon as possible, and guide children to step out of the virtual world and plunge into the embrace of nature, so as to truly give them a carefree, colorful, healthy and happy childhood. Let's work together to protect young people from the potential harms of online gaming and create a social environment where they can thrive.
