Teenager Kills Girl To Feed Video Game Habit - Yahoo! News
I have read this article several times, one because I cannot get my head around how a young adult can do this and two because it is badly written.
Sorry for blogging it, but i will try to focus on the story, rather than the way the story is written.
There are few things that I am addicted too... at 2,852 tweets (at time of publication) since December, I am not shy of sharing my thoughts in less than 140 characters - in fact I shall probably tweet that I have written this! I am mildly addicted to shopping, shoes and my hair straightners. Things that give me little comfort, but some none the less, whilst I go about my day to day life. I was addicted to blogging for a while, but even that I have kept in check and understood when enough is enough.
Where do you draw the line for the things you really like doing? Do you have a voice, a feeling that tells you to stop?
I have little understanding of addiction on the scale of the boy in the article, so I only really have a lot of questions in my head and most of them point fingers at the obvious missing pieces in his life... We will see if the answers come in the days to follow. I guess the good news to come from this is that there is a group for Gaming Addicts - and I applaud anyone who works with addicts, it is often thankless work and quite hard too, from what I know.
There's not a lot else of me to say. I started to write in shock, but I realised that it's probably not best to rant.
