This paper begins with the debate around the effects that video games have on the upbringing of children and youngsters. After interviewing UABJO high school students, I concluded that not all young people are addicted to video games, and that the time they spend playing them varies greatly, depending on their personal circumstances and age. Several youngsters lost their interest or reduced the time dedicated to video games for various reasons; some due to new interests, friendships or romantic relationships, others because they took on new responsibilities, whether work related or school related, and some more had to do with physical fatigue and boredom.
