Are video games bad? Should they be prohibited? Video games are one of the most popular forms of entertainment, especially for young people, but it is also a very controversial topic.
A lot of people blame video games for promoting violence, but the real issue is not that they contain it. The problem starts when kids play them when they are too young to distinguish between fiction and real life. Another controversial point is how addictive they can be. In some specific cases, video games become a waste of time and money (we know they aren’t exactly cheap). Some people stop meeting their friends because they are too “busy” to do that and then they become unsociable. Of course, adolescents should do other activities in their free time. The greatest one is practicing sport, because it’s healthy and fun. Actually, some video games promote it, like the recent viral success Pokemon Go, which forces you to go out to play it.
All in all, video games aren’t bad, but we must know who is able to play them and how much time we should play. They mustn’t replace other more important activities.
