It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world.

But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life.

I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies.

Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend.

All the best,
一切顺利
