A new study concludes that children can become addicted to playing video games, with some youths skimping on homework, lying about how much they play and struggling, without success, when they try to cut back. In what is described as the first nationally representative study in the U.S. on the subject, researcher Douglas Gentile of lowa State University found that 8.5 percent of American youths ages 8 to 18 who play video games show multiple signs of behavioral addiction. "For some kids, they play in such a way that it becomes out of balance. And they're damaging other areas of their lives; it isn't just one area, it's many areas," said Gentile. The passage indicates which of the following about the study's findings?
A: Video game addiction is less dangerous than other addictions.
B: Video game addiction can have dire consequences on the youth habits.
C: Most teenagers have an addiction to video games.
D: American youth play more video games than youths from other countries.​
