GAMING ADDICTION CRISIS

Three girls died by suicide.
Gaming is being blamed. But is gaming really the problem?

Or is the deeper issue that many children today feel less bonded to people and more connected to virtual worlds?

When real life feels stressful, lonely, or emotionally unsafe, screens don’t just entertain. They offer comfort, belonging, and escape.

This isn’t about denying that excessive gaming can be harmful. It’s about asking the harder question.
What is our child escaping from?

Before we blame screens, we need to look at connection, communication, and emotional safety at home and in school.

Because children don’t choose virtual worlds over real ones without a reason.
Understanding matters.
Connection saves lives.
