Why are kids playing video games so much instead of interacting with kids their age. The video games is like your invisible friend you had when you were little. It’s replacing real people and kids aren’t learning how to deal with their friends at school because they can’t push a button with them. It’s making them violent and not social. They are not exercising enough and becoming hooked to the t. v. screen. They yell out loud or get angry and out of control. Parents don’t recognize their own kids in that state of mind. They are not spending enough time with their families and friends. Their circle of people are shrinking. Video games should not replace babysitting or their homework time. It should be a privilege to have that one time of the day to play games when it gets dark. Kids should play outside with other kids or play sports, and if only when it’s the right time parents should allow them to play a short time.
