It is also the other way around if it’s a nice video game it can have positive effects. “Media drives panics about what video games are doing to children. Studies are showing that children's minds are affected by the video games they play, which can either be good or bad.” (Flanagan) it is true that video games can make children violent but not all games make you violent.

Solutions to this problem come in a wide varieties. It is up to the parents to enforce the solution. The person who is addicted is responsible to keep a schedule on when to get off and when to do something else. The parents can take away the game so the son/daughter can’t play. To also help you can make them go outside and play sports or fun games. When the person who is addicted is older and lives by themselves they have to be very responsible to not be tempted to not get the game out and play and get addicted.
