We have a bright, healthy, 17 year old boy, increasingly addicted to on-line gaming, and i am at a loss as to what to do. I have no doubt his college grades are suffering - he did very well indeed at GCSE but AS level results were a huge shock - a C, 2 D's and an E. We are now into A level year (at a 6th form college) and I see my beautiful friendly son becoming more withdrawn, with a decreasing social life. Attempts at discussing this are met with him becoming more withdrawn and distant. He's relatively introverted, as I am, and equally sees my other half and I on computers a huge amount of the time as we work from home. Any advice on this would be very welcome as it's so sad! Thank you.
