He is failing in school, not because he is not smart, but because he cannot reduce the time he spends playing online game “World of Warcraft”. He spends 10 to 12 hours a day playing the game—until somebody makes him get off the computer. His parents have put controls on the computer to limit its use, but he has figured out ways to bypass them. He pretends to go to sleep and gets up in the middle of the night to play.”
