DOTA, DOTA, DOTA. What is DOTA?

All I know about Dota is that it is a computer game that BOYS crave to play.

So what’s with this DOTA?

When I was a second year student, I was curious about this DOTA thing. It annoys me everytime I hear my classmates talking about the “HERO” thing or whatsoever.

So, does it means that being addicted to DOTA is part of being a TEENAGER?

I agree with that statement. Part of US, teenagers wanna have FUN and enjoy life to the fullest. We wanna hang-out with our friends and through that game, you can develop friendship and sportsmanship.

Part of a being a TEENAGER is being PROUD. Sometimes, we want to prove our strength or ability to others. Mostly, BOYS are the proud ones. They want to prove their ability through DOTA. They were showy and wants to be hailed as someone good at DOTA.

Though playing DOTA is part of being a TEENAGER, abusing your free time is not good. There are many disadvantages in playing DOTA (personal views):

1. It’s a waste of time and money. Because you are playing the whole time, you forgot to do what you should prioritize and it usually ends up cramming. While you are playing the whole time, the price is increasing. You’ll almost spend your whole allowance just to play DOTA. It’s not good.
2. It destructs your schooling. Sometimes, your head is filled up with DOTA. You daydream everytime and forgets the lessons. Sometimes, you cut class to play. Sometimes, you don’t listen with the discussion. Instead, you disucss with your playmate about DOTA and what should you do with your tournament.
3. It creates chaos. Sometimes, you starts with a fight with somebody because you loss the game. You also complain about what your enemy (in DOTA) did. You always say “It’s unfair” that makes the whole situation complicated. It also destroys friendship.
4. It destroys your eyes. Facing the computer screen for how many hours will destroy your eyes. Someday, you’ll wear glass which is very expensive.
5. It worries your parents.


There are many disadvantages of playing this computer game. But what can we do? It’s a part of being a teenager.

Many of my classmates or friends are addicted to this. I hate seeing them getting addicted with this. Their grades are getting low and their concentration is getting lost. Their allowances just gone by in a flash and sometimes, they got a problem with their tummy (because they don’t eat snacks to save their money for the game).

I really don’t understand the reason why my friends and classmates got addicted to this. But, I really suggest to anyone who hasn’t played this game to not try it. It would be bad. If you’ll get addicted with this, your future would be dark. Just ignore this and have fun with other stuffs.

And for those who are addicted with this game, just PLAY but don’t abuse your FREE time in playing this. Just play maybe once or twice a week. It’s not really BAD to play this game. Just don’t use too much of your time playing this.
