on Video Game Addiction

I need to quickly address an ongoing concern-- it is that of video game addiction.

This topic brings up many emotions with in me and I'm going to make a few quick CLEAR points


A VIDEO GAME ADDICTION is an ADDICTION just like any other; just like drugs or gambling or alcohol. Parents please treat it as so.


Would you buy your child marijuana? heroine? then why would you buy your kid video games, which have psychedelic effects, and are directly related to increased suicide risk and adolescent depression?

I've seen grades plummet over Call Of Duty and College Scholarships Lost. Please think twice before buying the game.


The video games of 20 years ago are nothing like they are today. They are cleverly designed to keep you engaged for days and days...

Notice the gambling casinos on Vegas? No windows (so you can't tell time) no clocks and they have cute girls serving free coffee all  the time so you play and play and play.. I even heard they spray stimulants in the air to keep you there.


If you must, get therapy and invest in adolescent therapy. Go to an addiction specialist.

Parents please do not treat 20 hours of video game playing as a cute weekend hobby.

IVY League Acceptance rates

Statistics for the Class of 2017 are staring to roll out now that regular decision season has come to a close, and the numbers are daunting at the big name colleges. 7 of the 8 Ivy League universities reported a lower acceptance rate (only Dartmouth saw a slight increase). Harvard reported the lowest Ivy acceptance rate at 5.79%, followed by Yale at 6.72%, Columbia at 6.89%, Princeton at 7.29% and Brown at

 

9.16%. In the double digits, Dartmouth offered 10.05% of applicants a spot in the freshman class, followed by UPENN - 12.10% and Cornell - 15.15%. Outside the Ivy League, Stanford topped Harvard with an all-time low acceptance rate of just 5.7% and MIT took just 8.2% of applicants.

 

City Schools-Big Winners

Meanwhile, applications surged at a number of colleges, particularly those in cities. Boston University saw almost a 20% increase in applications. Case Western in Cleveland received 25% more applications. And at UCLA, U. Chicago and NYU, applications increased approximately 10%. Even colleges in smaller cities, like Clark in Worcester, saw a 28% jump. However, one rural college rocked the numbers with a 42% increase in applicants: tiny Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.
