I read an article about violent video games is they are good or bad for kids. It is mentioned that Children who repeatedly play violent video games are learning thought patterns that will stick with them and influence behaviors as they grow older, according to a new study. The effect is the same regardless of age, gender or culture. The lead researcher says it is really no different than learning math or to play the piano.
In my point
of view, playing
video games can impact on the academic skills of a child and their social
skills as well, and most importantly, their view on the real world. There is a
lot of violence in these games that affect children's attitudes, behavior and
relationships. Video games should be banned for children meaning kids below the
age 16 to prevent these tragedies from happening. In addition, it’s not only
about violence; it is also about what it does to children’s body, if they play
they play to long and never stop until they sleep, it effects their eyes. So,
their eyesight will get weaker and their body will always feel very tired. It
also loses their interest of doing other things, going outside, spending time
with their family, doing school stuff and also loses interest of learning new
things.
Furthermore, when children only stay indoors, they do less
exercise and because of addiction sleep less. Kids used to go outside to play
on their bikes or in the sand, they had a friend to whom they would play board
games or simply with their toys, but this is not the case these days. Now its
all video games, every where you look that is all we see. Children have got to
the point where they cannot function without using one of their pieces of
equipment.
Finally, It's half the parents' fault because they buy the kids
game systems, and they let them in the store to buy it. Consequently, they
should not get mad at the children if they bought it for them. Family should handles
each game on a case-by-case basis, monitoring the content to ensure their
children is protected. Besides, Parents should make decisions based on facts as the
maturity level of the child and the mental stability and how they might apply
to their children. Some well-grounded kids will be able to handle the games
without any adverse results, while others may be influenced. Parents should know
their kids.
