Many families are in pain, witnessing their kids, teens and pre-adults battle serious emotional issues and neglect  education because of  frequenting to online platforms like Roblox and  such platforms.Obsession with Roblox  has not only resulted in  missing the schools, exams, Frequent leaves, anger issues, losing focus, but has also contributed to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. 

It's not just kids in our family circle; many others are experiencing the same. The World Health Organization has recognized gaming disorder as a mental health disease. Researchers have found that about 9% of all gamers worldwide might be in danger of becoming addicted, and this number only seems to be increasing (National Institutes of Health). 

These platforms serve as a conducive environment that promotes gaming addictions and have damaging effects on young individuals who might not have the emotional maturity to make the right decisions. Human emotional development commonly extends until the ages of 22 to 24, making young adults prone to such addictions (National Institutes of Health).

Therefore, we are pleading for Indian government intervention to restrict the usage of online gaming and chat platforms like Roblox, Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp and other such platforms for those under the age of 22 to 24. This step will contribute to protecting our young population's mental health and ensuring they prioritize their academics and personal growth over addictive online games and platforms. 

Please, stand with us in our struggle to guard our children's wellbeing. Sign this petition.

Many countries like UAE, Australia,  Turkey have acted on this issue.
