 Introduction with Statement of the Problem

about our Filipino Youth and their addiction to computer games

from the reality and neglecting real life socialization and interaction.
Too much violence has been the subject of this games that caused a
bad effect to the youth. It triggers the users to lose temper and values
by using different languages during the game or what they called
“Trash Talks”. Trash Talks are foul languages that usually triggers anger
between their opponents in games. As a result, it brings both users to
fight against each other.

Games are games commonly played by children that used native
materials or instrument like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Luksong
Baka, Luksong Tinik, Piko, Holen, Palosebo and Siko. This addiction
