We all have heard of video games before and maybe we have all played them.  I think kids should not be allowed to play violent video games. Parents should try to let their kids enjoy other things instead of getting them to get addicted to a TV screen at a young age. Here are a few reasons to consider choosing a more positive activity to do, other than playing video games!

REASONS WHY 

• Violent video games have a lot of curse words and foul language. 
• Violent video games can be gruesome. 
• Your child could be highly influenced by what she/he is playing.
