The researcher aims to find out  if online games have a significant effect on their studies and help students, parents, teachers, stakeholders,  researchers and our society from the results of this study. 

According to the study conducted by the researcher, it was found that playing online games among Senior High  School students does not have much effect on their learning in important subjects such as English, Science and  Mathematics. It appears from the data found in the research that despite Senior High School students playing  online games they still get satisfactory grades and it can also be seen that most students only use playing online  games so that they can relax and use it in a positive way. The senior High School students of Sta. Monica  National High School used the Online Games to prevent stress in their everyday life and to communicate and  express themselves even in the virtual world. Many students who are not intelligent and athletic used the virtual  world created by the online games for them to feel superior and strong even in their weak physical condition.  The study will be the baseline and can be uses by future researchers about the effect of Online Games not only  in SHS students but in other group of people in society.
