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.

You are no longer my child, I don't know who you are or what you have done with my daughter but you aren't her." My eyes start to water, great so I am apparently disowned, an ungrateful peace of shit and i'm not good enough for anyone. ***{Sneak Peak TWO}*** I look over at the door to see Juliano opening it. 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.

Under The Lights But Never Seen (agere)
I'm so tired, but somehow I keep going. I lost my mom at 18, lost my job a few months later, had my girlfriend break up with a few days before Christmas, and now I have two stadiums that rely on me for everything. Between work and racing, I don't have time for anything, there's barely enough for sleep. I had no idea how bad everything had gotten until my entire world suddenly stopped.
