what do you think?

Question

DO you think games games tv ect really make kids violent.

Answer 1

Video games don't really make people violent, its how they react to the violence in them that does.

Answer 2

I think too many violent movies, TV shows, video games, etc., can help in the desensitization of children, but I do not think they make children violent. I have studied psychology for years now and I am a firm believer that parenting is what causes youth to know the difference between right and wrong, real and fake. If a parent watches violent television with their child in moderation, and explains that it's not real, or it's a portrayal of something bad or wrong, then I think the child will grow to understand that. I, myself, had very caring parents who raised me well. I watched rated R movies from about 13 or 14 years old and have played video games all my life. Yet, I am not violent or angry. It all goes back to parenting.

Answer 3

I don't think so. I grew up playing the violent type of games and so did my brother. The parents of kids need to either not let their kids play games/watch violent things, and also make sure their kids know the difference between right and wrong

Answer 4

No, its their parents that aren't disiplining their kids well. If they are disipline well, when they play the game, they won't react to it. I play violent games all the time, but I'm not anywhere violent. Those stupid kids are giving us a bad name.

Answer 5

No. I'm a kid who plays games, I'm not violent.

Answer 6

Yes, I have done research on this topic and it's a true fact.

Answer 7

Only if it becomes addicting to the person.
