This will be a compilation of my thoughts and observations, as well as shared information for those interested in learning more about Video Gaming Addiction. 
Although I am not anti-gaming and understand that many children can self monitor and manage this recreational activity without it negatively affecting their lives, I do also recognize that there is a sub group who are more vulnerable to falling prey to addiction.
Each chapter will be shared to help both youth and their parents.
I welcome your feedback, and please feel free to share your own stories about issues with video gaming , if you wish.All Rights Reserved

Hooked The Making of an Addict by lacarchickarie

THIS STORY MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERS FOR SOME. PLEASE READ WITH FULL DISCRETION. Everyone always wonders what led an addict to drugs. What made them feel like getting high was the only thing left. Some addicts will tell you that it was just fun, something they wanted to do so they weren't bored. Others will say it's just how they we're brought up. Drugs we're part of their lifestyle. Some don't have a reason. This is my story. My reason. My life. Join Aaron on a journey of discovery, love, loss, hope, and pain as he tries to navigate in a world built to tear him down.

He walks over to me and says, "So we might have a slight problem." I look at him in confusion as he continues speaking, "Do you remember Lucian Kingston?" I nod. Of course I remember that creep. "Well he had something to do with your car accident." *** 𝓐𝓾𝓻𝓸𝓻𝓪 𝓑𝓵𝓪𝓴𝓮, 17, the girl that's always in her brothers shadow.

From Broken to Beautifully Broken by EllaShae79

How I used all the ways life had broken me down to reshape my soul, change my mindset, create the life I always wanted, and manifest it all into existence. Spread love, especially to the ones who hurt you, for often they need it the most. It is my hope that my story can shed some much needed light onto mental illness and create a greater mental health awareness

All in my Mind by BomPomm

Alexander Jones was 17 when things started going wrong. Then the trigger event happened. Now Alex is almost 20 and he's definitely still dealing with the fallout of what happens when psychosis ruins your life. And what's the point of getting better, when nothing will ever be the same again? What's the point of getting better if he can't even tell the difference between what's real and what's fake? What's the point of getting better when he was a perfect glass child and the official schizophrenia diagnosis came just a smidge too late? *TW for gun violence involving minors, suicide, self harm, trauma, psychosis, medical abuse, substance use*

Family Comes First by CRAZY40429

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes. I have given a warning now, and I will give a TW in each chapter when reading for safety reasons. However, I want all of my readers to know what to expect so that they can decided for themselves if they want to read. Read at your own discretion! ____ Highest Rankings: #1 in Rules: Oct. 18. 2020 #1 in Truth: Jan. 16. 2021 #1 in Alcohol: Jun. 18. 2021
