  2. Video Games can destroy children’s lives In some cases children play videogames so much that everything else in their lives suffer. Relationships with family and friends can deteriorate. Grades in school can drop because of lack of interest. Development of skills can suffer other than gamer skills. Health can deteriorate because of lack of physical activity.

  3. The information for this graph was obtained from a survey of my sisters students at a school which will not be named As you can see grades become worse as videogame usage grows higher

  4. The playing of videogames can start at a very young age in our society Sometimes parents aren’t aware of the effects of certain types of media on their children Sometimes parents use videogames to keep the kids entertained so they can get things done It’s not uncommon to see multiple gaming consoles in any given residence Also, it’s not uncommon to see more than one child playing games Simultaneously on separate televisions in the same household

  5. Videogaming often continues into adulthood or can even start in adulthood The effects of videogaming in adulthood can be even more drastic Grown people lose their jobs because of their addiction to videogames Grown people lose the respect of their families because of their addiction to videogames Grown people lose respect for themselves because of their addiction to videogames

  6. Videogames are just one more thing to add to the list of things that give us our fix so to speak Our response could be positive or negative Like any drug our minds and bodies react to the content being ingested, creating a chemical response

  7. On occasion Videogames have been linked to causing violent behavior in those who play them This violence could be during or following the gaming session or sessions And is not necessarily because of violent games themselves but rather due to frustration caused by the gaming session Aggression could come over competition to play the game in the first place

  8. This picture kind of says it all. Obviously since videogames were invented there hasn’t been a spike in cold blooded murders. However, individuals have been killed over or because of videogames.

  9. So here it is We’re born

  10. We grow up playing videogames

  11. We become videogame characters

  12. Then we die and are buried and that’s life as we know it.
