Video Games

There have been many controversies lately about violent video games and whether or not they are bad for young kids and teenagers. Well I think that It does affect them, but it’s not just the video games fault it the parents. I think it is unhealthy for young kids and teenagers to just sit inside all day long. What happened to looking forward to summer so you can go ride your bike or building snow men in the winter? The perfect example is my younger step brother who is like 13 or 14. Every day he wakes up and plays video games, gets home from school and plays video games, stays up all night to play video games. The video games haven’t made him violent or anything which is good, but his vocabulary only consists of a few words, with “fuck” being number one. The rest are followed by other curse words. I never see him do homework and the last I knew he was failing a subject. But it’s not just because of the video games, but also because of the discipline that he doesn’t receive. His father lets him say and do what he wants when he wants and as far as I know his mom woks late and also comes home and plays video games. I think that there should be a distinct time to where there should be homework and chores done and another time for playing. It is unhealthy for kids to sit in front of a television or computer all day. It is impacting their learning abilities, and also it hurts their eyes. Also people always say that the youth is our future, so is this what our future is going to contain?
