Video/Online Game addicti

Thank you All

I failed at a lot in school and was told that I would be homeless on the street when I'm an adult. I'm now homeschooled however I do no work because I requested that my name be taken off of the school computer and with no address I get no school mail. At 16 I will quit for good and have a great job in a store I love ^_^ I loved video games and still do. As for my job. I work at a New Age Health Shop. $13 Per Hour ( Stacking Shelvs plus Cleaning ) and I'm only 15 ( Not homeless yet with my parents Eh XD ) At some point in time I'll get a raise. Do not force him to like school or force him to not play video games. If anything give long amounts of video game play as a reward for higher marks and lower game time with low marks.

Also to mention! The poverty line is anything under $15 per hour. At my current age I'm going good and like I said as I move into different positions I will get higher pay and have an amazing job with good pay ^_^

Under $15 per hour where I live that is

My wife and I have not had this issue however; if you give him boundaries it will help. Simple things like no games until the homework is done. If you a child control his world, he is likely to do the wrong thing as he is a child and needs guidance.

I studied computer programming and have an AS degree with it. I never really used my education that way. I am more of an artsy person. I was fascinated with computer games though. I do not usually play now but did. Your 17 year old(very close to becoming an adult) may enjoy an education learning how to program computers. That may likely make you happy and as well allow your teenager to become a self supporting and successful individual who is content in a field that is prosperous.

If you are viewing it as a pointless addiction which it probably is right now then use addictive breaking spells, talisman, and charms. Amethyst which is a purple quartz crystal is known for having absolutely no negative side affects and may be worn, carried or placed in the home for that purpose and many others. My references indicate to use, and I have had success using, herbs fennel, dill, caraway, peppermint and lavender for breaking addictions. Other herbs you may try are bergamot mint, lemongrass and thyme. Herbs and crystals associated to Mercury are probably ideal for your goal.

When you find one, pass it on to me for my boyfriend lol.

It's a personal choice I'm afraid. You could try a few different types of spells to help him cut down on games, but unless he wants to, its a temporary fix, and will wear off.

That's good info Neckroshema ^_^

Getting ride of the game system will not help the situation it will only make him angry and unstable. To help your son you must bring him up to speed on another activity he finds just as interesting. If he is into girls this can be very good tool to manipulate him towards portraying the "gaming" as a bad thing. I must admit I had trouble dealing with video games when I was young. Simply what got me less attached was .. well.. one very big reality check. Don't worry I got a feeling ones right around the corner.

Hope he puts down the keyboard - tools have there use - too much of anything could be bad even reading or studying.

You cant make him stop doing something he loves to do.
