My twin grandsons, now 17, are addicted to the Internet gaming. They live overseas, and I visited them twice over there. Excited to visit, they only said "hi" a few times before retreating to their bedroom to resume their internet activity. They were such sweet young boys, but their parents, my daughter and her husband, both educators , have allowed them to become absorbed and obsesses with internet gaming. They're 17 now, approaching leaving school to embark on college, but their grades are bad. I attribute this wholly to allowing then to focus on internet instead of school. I mean, all night! when the visited me this past summer, they barely spoke to me, absorbed in their internet activities. To speak to them, I had to interrupt them to remove their headphones, to which I would get a one word reply. I don't have confidence that they will succeed in anything. They are supposed to go to college next year.
