The letter he left before his death
revealed that he could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion and
was deeply depressed. He also composed nearly 80,000 words in notes about online
games before his death.

Reports suggest the boy had been
addicted to online games for almost six months and couldn't control himself. His
parents admitted after the event they didn't pay enough attention to their
child's mental health.
One psychologist analyses that many teenagers use the Internet to escape the
pressures of daily life and believes over-use can damage physical and mental
health. Parents and teachers should try to guide younger individuals use
communication and entertainment technologies in a healthy way.
