Video games have been a really popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but for many years they have been controversial because of the negative way they can influence the players.

The main problem of videogames is they can turn you into an addict. According to this addiction you can end up staying all day at home, and because of that you can feel isolated and have no social life. This can have negative effects on your health like stress and physical problems, since you can't do exercise. Also, videogames promote violence, and that can influence young children's behaviour.

Besides, other activities instead of videogames should be promoted. Parents should plan excursions for the weekends and schools hould promote sports. Also the media and the government should be involved, the former advertising different kind of activities and the latter creating outdoor spaces.

To conclude, videogames have a lot of negative aspects, so other types of activities should be promoted by parents and institutions.
