Video games
Many people in the United States are against the prospect of violent video games.  They say that video games deteriorate teen and children’s brains. They also say that video games that are violent cause people to be violent.  Teens were more likely to get in fight with their peers and also showed signs of aggression towards their teachers.  Teens also saw a drop in their academic achievements. This is true in many cases violent video games especially first person shooter caused people to be more violent. Teens are more susceptible; the average male teens play 13 hours of video games a week whereas girls only averaged five hours a week. So what is the best way to prevent violence in teens? Parents have to take action if they want to see a change in their teen’s behavior in relationship to video games. Parent should never put a tv in their child’s room. They should not allow their child to read violent books or comic books. POW!!! Parents should keep gaming systems out of their child’s room and should monitor the media (tv shows, movies, sports) they watch. Parents should also monitor how many hours their children are allowed to play and what they play. Video games are fun but people should be cautious and check themselves before they wreck themselves.
