People believe that video games have a good influence on children’s behavior. Yet video games cause bad behavior; video games are unhealthy for their bodies, limit their social life, and increase their aggressiveness. First of all, video games have bad effects on children’s health. Children may spend less time on their activities, such as sports and exercises. For example, children become obese and develop skeletal disorders because they do not have enough exercise. Secondly, too much video game playing makes children isolated. Children may not have time for other activities, such as reading, talking with family and friends, and doing homework. Also, children might not study at home. Even if they are in school, they might think about playing games all the time. They could not focus on their studies. So they would get a poor grade in school.
Furthermore, the effect on children's health and their increased isolation are not the only effect of video game abuse. There is also an effect on critical thinking ability. This means video games may be more conducive to children’s aggression than obedience; children who play more violent video games are more likely to have increased aggressive thoughts and feelings. They could confuse reality and fantasy. They might watch people with anger, sadness, and fear. It could cause killings, shootings, and stabbing. Also, they may not respect people. For example, when playing games, they could pick up bad language. So they would use bad words when they talk to others. Eventually, video games could cause children’s bad behavior and negative thoughts.
