Video Games

I was addicted to video games when I had gotten my first computer as a birthday gift in primary school. Since I had learnt how to play them, video games became a part of my life. I played it after school without doing homework; I stayed up late to finishing my game tasks, and I kept thinking about them every time when I was awake.
I understood paying video games hurts my eyes and makes me feel tired as I need to set in front of computer for several hours. However, I could not resist the attraction of them. After my parents found this situation and cut off the network in home,  I went to my classmates’ home in order to play video games. I felt satisfied to solve the problems in game and kill the enemy; they just gave me a fictitious sense of achievement.
As a consequence of playing game, I got extreme myopia and spinal curvature. I failed many exams in finals and I almost lost my social life. But I could not stop. I felt both guilty and excited when I playing games, and that is the only thing I enjoyed in my life.
Not surprisingly, I was forced by my parents to give up playing video games in grade five. It was hard at first, but this process was much more smooth than I expected. As a child, there were so many things attracted me besides video games. When I found other interesting things to do, I just forgot my video games as soon as possible. After several weeks, I did not thinking about video games at all.
When I grew up, I get some clues about the reasons I love playing games: I feel I can completely control my game. I donated my time to upgrade and paid for the privilege in game, and they paid back quickly comparing to study and other activities that I could not get something in return immediately. Besides that, I had a lot of time as a primary school student and I did not have many things to do in the spare time. My parents were busy and they left me at home without knowing what to do. Video games required a bunch of times and they keeps me playing it through upgrading. I did not know what kind of pleasure I got from them; it was more like that I found something to kill time.
Now I still play some games such as League Of Legends and DOTA, but I regard them as amusements but not relay on them anymore.
