After i paste, it change my formatting to suits the wiki's, the font type change to Arial, which is the font the my other team mates uses in their post. BUT, BUT, BUT!! Although the same font type, but it looks total different from what I see.

Summary of resource:

Online game is the most sought leisure activity followed by kids now days. Days are gone when children loved to indulge in outdoor activities, rather than running or playing outside children spend most of their time playing online games. Taking into consideration it positively is a great mind exercise and helps kids explore many new things as it includes improvement in recursive and proactive thinking, increased sociability, and improved interpretive skills. However, research shows that kids who play violent video games showed an increase in emotional arousal – and a corresponding decrease of activity in brain areas involving self-control, inhibition and attention.
