Kids and violent video games
It's FINE. by: Holden P.
IT'S FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE
Some people think that kids ages 9-15 shouldn't be allowed to play "M" rated video games. I, however, think otherwise.
Why do I think this you ask?
First of all it does not effect personality. Kids with ages 9-15 should already be learning some of this stuff in SCHOOL!!!!! They might as well BAN school too!
A game I play. AND I'M 10!!!!
The picture you see above is a picture of the cover of a somewhat violent video game I play. Minecraft has monsters in it and you kill them. No blood whatsoever. Below are monsters that you face in Minecraft.
Creeper
Gets up close and BLOWS YOU UP!!!!!
Spider
OH MY GOD IT'S A GIANT SPIDER!!!!
Skeleton
A skeleton. With a bow and arrow. It's also alive. AHHHHH!!!
A little TOO much.
Kids ages 8 and under may be overwhelmed by these games. It is possible that these games could increase inappropriate activity and/or make them more aggressive.
A strange source of bullying
Most of the "cool" kids play these games even if they are rated "M". This could lead to bullying of the kids that do not play these "M" rated games. The kids that don't play the games may be picked on by the other kids.
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEND!!!!
In conclusion, kids ages 9 and up should at LEAST be able to play Call of Duty.
