Fox News: One Out Of Ten Youth Who Play Video Games Are Addicted
A study published in the May issue of the journal Psychological Science found that nearly 1 in 10 youths who play video games behaved in ways that were similar to other addictive disorders, such as compulsive gambling. These behaviors include skipping chores, lying to parents and even stealing money to support their gaming habits. – Fox News
I’m not much into the whole math thing, but to me 10% is a very low percent. Everything we do there is a limit of addiction. Eating to much food, to the person who is addicted to the rush of sky diving. Man I hate Fox “news.”

Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but if they’re trying to incriminate video games or something, that’s like… Saying 1 out of ten people who pull toilet paper from under the roll are addicted to drugs and gambling.
