Are violent video games good for kids

Violent video games are definitely NOT good for kids under 14 years. As a matter of fact, studies show that when children play a game or even watch a television show that has violence portrayed in it, their aggressive behavior strengthens. From birth on, a child's brain is designed to learn from everything that they see and hear. Knowing this, it is safe to say that children who watch or play something with violence in it are more likely to be violent themselves. This is because they think that what is on a tv screen is acceptable and ok. A big problem today is that most parents do not sit down and talk to their kids about why violence, alcohol, drugs, and other things like that are wrong, and so the kids do not understand why violent video games are bad for them. This is a growing problem.
