Academic Decline in Video Gamers

It's been told that children who play games in mass moderation may notice their academic achievements may be declining. Many studies display that the more time spent on participating in video games the poorer their performance in school.

 A study conducted by Argosy University’s Minnesota School on Professional Psychology discovered that children that are addicted to video games tend to argue with their teachers, score lower grades and fight with their friends a lot more than those who play games less often. In some other studies young people have admitted that their video game addiction was their cause for low school grades and that sometimes players skip homework just to play games. Academic scores are declining because children aren't spending enough time completing homework or maybe because they aren't paying attention in class because they are fixated on defeating the next boss or completing the next dungeon raid or even teaming up with friends to go shoot other players down.(The Positive and Negative Effects of Video Games, n.d.)
