Minecraft Listen.

As much as people don't like this. As likely as the fact is that I might get banned from forums. I need to say this.

Look at us. Spending unhealthily amount of time on computers playing minecraft. A game that will not give us any amount of skill and will damage us for life. The day that I found out about minecraft is basically the day I threw my life in the bin. As I sit here crying about my ruined life I may as well tell you strangers about how its ruined my life eh?

Ive stop doing art. As playing games has taken over, my art ability has lowered. I used to paint and draw but I haven't picked up a pencil in a while. So I've fallen behind my other creative friends and now I look childish. I was hoping for a job in the area but now I just don't think that is possible.

Ive gained weight. Yes, "surprisingly" after sitting on my ass for a few years I'm not as skinny as my other friends. I can't keep up. That leads to my battle with anorexia. Gaining weight is my fault as I thought running around in a fictional game was better than running around in real life. Its sad because I have stretch marks now, so I can't wear belly tops or shorts.

My grades have dropped. If you are going to play minecraft PLEASE find the time to study and do your homework. I didn't and you know what? I got an E in math this year. Im not going to pass high school. Im not going to get a good job. I played so much that I couldn't find time for the most important thing. Education.

Ive lost friends. I just stopped hanging out with them after I had no time to do anything with them. Now all they are is just a hi in the hallway. Just as much as you think your friends on minecraft are your friends, they aren't really. You can't go to the mall together or have a sleepover (you might if that one friend lives near you but what about all the other ones?). Life is real lonely without friends, it causes a lot of mental problems. You really don't want to pop pills everyday just because you spent your life on minecraft. It really does suck.

It doesn't just effect you. I think the worst part of gaming is this. If you have younger (or even older) siblings please dont introduce them to gaming or play loads around them. If nothing else Ive written doesn't stand out just listen to this. I have to live with the guilt of ruining my little brothers life for the rest of my life. He did gymnastics for 3 years, in national ranks and everything. He stopped, so he could have more time to play video games... His whole life ruined because of me. Now he is treading in my footsteps. I tell him that but he doesn't listen.

Will you listen?

Stop going on forums or playing games just for a hour. See what you can accomplish.

 

Amazing, I shall listen and try to accomplish some life goals

 

wow my mum made a forum account

 

This is just a result of you not being able to keep track of your other daily activities. When I played MC, I still managed to find the time to manage my real friendships, keep up with my schoolwork, and stay healthy. Sure, I stayed on the computer for a while, but I haven't let that drag me down. All you need to do is manage your time, make sure that you're keeping up with everything else in your life, and you're golden :).
