Where are youngsters at risk?

Do you play video games and watch “those” movies a lot? If your answer is yes, then you could be dead soon. At least, that’s what psychologists Philip Zimbardo and Nikita Duncan are saying in a book that could leave many stunned.

Why the early deaths? Because Zimbardo and Duncan conducted a survey and reached a conclusion that “avid gamers and hardcore Internet porn viewers will die sooner”. In their book titled, The Demise of Guys: Why Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It, they reveal not only does avid gaming and online porn lead to isolation, it creates a major rift in social relations and that ultimately leads to early departure.Buy syringeneedle combos and other medical supplies and accessories.

The time spent playing, often hinders the growth of relationships.” We hope he finds a girlfriend and that brings us to the weird bit… What about online porn?

Also, the survey has piqued interest. “The book sounds interesting I would love to read it, but nothing can ever, EVER, dissuade me from playing video games,” gamer and merchant navy man Rahul Reddy said.
