Games

Many research results have shown that teenagers spend most of their “online time” playing games.

Games where you have option to communicate and play with persons you don’t know can be interesting, but there are many risks also included. Sometimes you easily get sucked into game and you have a feeling that you would do anything to win or go to next level. It is very easy to become addicted to games so set the rule about the amount of time you can spend playing games.

Remember that nobody dies in real life if you don’t win and there are also other things you can do in real life to entertain yourself. Adults with bad intentions know that young people like to play online games, so they present themselves as someone your own age.

It is important to know!

Remember that while you play, other players are often not who they say they are.
