Did you know that 97% of 12-17 year olds in the US play video games in 2008. In my opinion I agree that videogames are a problem some argue this. I think these video games are a big impact also and its getting out of control the shooting in sandy and recently one in washington DC and the some think the shooting was due to the that there was a new released game GTA 5 the week after reporters are blaming the game for the dangerous events..This game was even on the top ten violent games. Over 18-20 million copies of the game GTA was sold. So I do understand why they would think that this game is the blame but adults and teens are smart enough to not shoot.(Dashevsky,2013 teachhive.com)
Video gaming is for all ages but it should not be . Reporters are saying that school grades are dropping and more students need to be involved in the real world playing sports or even just any activity.. Most students say that school is to much because they get homework and time on the game decreases bad language is used when talking over this mic I know this because my brother plays gta 5 with his friends and they constantly talk about bad things. As kids grow older they will think this opportunity of taking advantage of violent games will increase.
But on the other hand violent video games can teach children to do the opposite of what is going on in the actual game.(Raisessmartkids.com)
This means if students try to do this they might end up doing a little something but nothing major like an accident.
most adults would agree to this idea of violent games being banned until a certain age. i think the best age for playing these violent video games would have to be 14. i also think that why most young aged adults are being put in jail.
