Centre to treat gaming addiction
-
Asking for friend who is a concerned parent..
His son is in secondary 2 this year but is addicted to internet gaming. Spends most of his time just playing online games etc.. and plays truant. Changed school several times because of that..
Btw hes a PRC, his parents couldnt control him in China so send him to Singapore to study (in the hope of controlling him)
The guardian shut off his internet connection but he just goes to internet cafes and borrows money from friend to spend there.. Sometimes he would just spend the night outside sleeping at internet cafe. In the end, the guardian is forced to turn back the internet just so that at least he won't spend nights outside..
Can anyone recommend a center to treat this form of gaming addiction in Singapore? Or is there any "military school" type like those in the US or China where the child studies under strict supervision/discipline?

i think he needs a hobby to replace his addiction, it's easier to quit that way, but the alternative hobby must be healthy lah... if he interested, ask him to come to my friend's education centre at tampines central full address at website http://www.edupad.com.sg the study place is free so he can bring friends along also. the thing is there got computers also but not for gaming only like surf net but also free so at least he can replace his habit with something healthier coz there students study maybe hope can influence him positively lah...

Singapore is the wrong place.Should choose Malaysia instead.I guaranteed Malaysia he can't get anywhere outside his home.

Here are some lobangs for the PRC kid who is keen on gaming:Our public libraries can borrow up to 2 games to play at home without internet for 2 weeks.Absolutely free.Don't miss it.

To PRC kid: you must listen to my advice since your parents object to your gaming.You must switch off your mobile phone upon entering the library.Nothing is free, you must earn it.

ok my friend told me a secret in wining.
u go PCC with your right hand just before u go gamble. don't wash the hand. then use that hand to draw cards, pull jack pot etc..
but once u used your left hand. the luck is gone and you will lose alot.
