Majority of the RI Sec 2s love to play Mousehunt and Backyard Monsters. Mousehunt went as high as 60%, over more than half of the respondents. As Mousehunt and backyard Monsters include chatting and competing, RI Sec 2s get more pleasure by playing these games instead of games like pet society where there is no thrill and not much interaction with others. Therefore, we can conclude that RI Sec 2s play Facebook games that allow them to interact a lot with their friends.

From the table to your left , Majority(45%) of the respondents play Facebook between 1 to 10 hours a week, which although does not seem to be a very long time, is indeed long enough for RI Sec 2s to get addicted to Facebook games. Fortunately, nobody played Facebook for more than 20 hours a week, or else that person would have had heavy addiction to Facebook games and it would be necessary to go for counselling by Mr Leo.
Further researchAim on another social networking website.Government’s effort to help curb addiction.Why pupils do not consult the counselors even when they know that they are addicted to computer games.
ConclusionIn a nutshell:1. Facebook games do affect RI Year 2 students academic performance.
2. By having a good relationship with one family and friends. One will not be addicted to any form of addiction, including Facebook Games addiction.
3. Lastly,we hope that from this research, people will realize the effects of social networking sites and its games.
