Some studies show that kids who are bullied at school might turn to gaming as an escape. This study wanted to know more about how bullying at school might be linked to problematic gaming in Chinese teens, and if it affects boys and girls differently.The study looked at a bunch of Chinese teens and asked them about their experiences with bullying at school and their gaming habits. They found that teens who were bullied more often were also more likely to have problems with gaming. Interestingly, they noticed that this effect was stronger for girls than boys. It's important to remember that this is just one study and more research is needed to really understand how bullying and gaming are connected. But it does suggest that schools should pay attention to bullying, as it might have effects that aren't always obvious.
