I'm becoming legitimately concerned for him, out of love.
My high schooler brother is addicted to World of Warcraft. He's played the game for the past couple years, but before that, he's played Everquest for many years. Even before that, he's had a big affinity for video games.
He plays the game so much. We've had conversations about the futulity of the game and he agrees with me, but he still continues to play it.
I feel that he's using it as a standby for a real social life. He has a group of buddies that accept him hanging out with them in school, but he tells me that he doesn't care about really befriending anyone at school, even the people who play also World of Warcraft.
He has a high IQ and could be doing very well in school, but he's either getting bad grades or just coasting with easy classes/study halls filling his schedule.
