Personally, i see nothing wrong with playing video games... i play Call Of Duty 4, and the Wii and my brothers xbox... what i see wrong here is the plain fact that not only is this kid wanting to drop outa high school and sit around playing video games hard core... but the fact that no one is stopping him.

and i understand that sometimes its to get away from stress.. but seriously, it becomes an obsession when a kid drops out of highschool just to play a video game... he is going to regret his choices when he actually desides to grow up a bit
