Lack of revision cause them to perform poorly in their examinations. Too much computer games have limited their time from exercising or taking part in games. As a result, most of the students face the problem of obesity. Some of them also suffer poor health condition. Studies show that many families are facing social problem such as less family interaction. We can notice that most the youngsters lock themselves in their room and play computer games.

Firstly, they should monitor their children’s activities from time to time. Help them to organise their time effectively and prepare a proper study timetable. This can help students to achieve good academic results. Secondly, parents could encourage students to spend more time with family members so that we can produce a happy family.
