Father should have sent his kid to a boarding school like Ben Stein~

“…Tommy is in his room sitting at his fancy computer (but, as he tells me all the time, not fancy enough) playing his goddamned Everquest, the worst thing that ever happened to him, a literal curse, a drug that eats away at every drop of energy and initiative. It's a sort of online ‘Dungeons and Dragons,’ and he loves it beyond description. He can stay on forever. Plus, he can spend money on it like there is no tomorrow. He is simply a demon at it. And we are the demon facilitators because we are so happy he's not using marijuana, we keep letting him play his evil Everquest.”

Stein’s son eventually kicked his addiction after he came back from reform school and the old Tommy is back, but how many other parents are paying attention?
