      Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact Scholarship
      As college student, i have dealt with toxic gaming forums. These forums break down social norms and they also can be a tool for bullies. Some people will mentally demean people based on game play, and that has happened to me a handful of times by mean people in games like Fortnite, Call of Duty and Apex Legends. This effects many people in the real world because some do not change there personality in the gaming forum, the people bring their toxic speech to the real world. This can bring issues in the classroom especially with teachers and student s relationships as well as student to student relationships, when regarding bullying. Many people, especially children, are very disrespectful and have trouble maintaining a long attention span and they also may suffer from sleep deprivation, and ADHD because of constant game play and poor sleep schedules. I have definitely experienced a worse sleep schedule gaming because most people are on late at night, and my mental rest and sleep go on the back burner when playing video-games. I have also seen some of my friends suffer from sleep deprivation from constant gaming, especially at night, and also ADHD because of the constant stimulus when playing video-games. The transition from the games to the real world makes it very hard for some of my friends to stay engaged because life in the classroom is much more boring compared to a digital video-games with hundreds of stimuli coming at them for hours at a time. When playing video-games I would recommend not joining gaing forums and also maintaining a healthy sleep schedule and social life when playing games.
