5 to 10 hours a day online playing games is a good way of escapism i think, as long has it doesnt interfer with your school work, i know not everyone likes to socialise in real life situations, some of us here spend that amount of time on this site alone every day,

i spent 20+ hours in chat in here once to give me something to do and when i am not in hospital i am online all the time in various forums, i changed my sleep patterns to american time ( i live in the uk) so i could chat and post questions/replies, i like to think that is more obbsessive than addictive but others may disagree.

what i am trying to say is if you are happy, your real life situation is not degrading by you playing online games then stick with it
