Negative Attitudes towards Video Games

Video games, the negative rumours about them, and some possible solutions.

           Many of us may have heard things about them, from the fact someone went crazy from playing them to even using their college fund to buy some. Society tells everyone a blunt general fact, video games are bad. Although there may have been some reports showing many people going crazy for them, there are also a good number of people who actually know how to control themselves. Scientific facts show that although some people may look like there addicted to video games, it can also have a good side effect in raising your adrenaline levels.

Can you really stay healthy if you play video games?

 Of course you can, a person can stay healthy while doing anything they want. They only need one thing, self-control. Going back to hundreds of years of ago, history dictates some humans can't stop having a good thing. From obesity, to drug addictions they can all be controlled. Same thing applies to video games. Just as many people say you should always take a hour or so break after playing the video games. Have daily excercise and stretches and you should be able to move those legs, and your fingers for gaming.

Who made the negative rumours of video games?             

I am not going to start pointing fingers, video games were simply just an easy target to blame for things people did. The fact that some video games contain violence and strong influences makes them a perfect scapegoat. Noone is to blame for the rumours, we've all blamed them for something in some point of our lives, whether its because of homework or its because you spent all your money for them.

Is there a solution to stop these rumours?

 Of course there is, the video game industry has already published lettering code to show whether the game is suitable for you, or someone else. If someone can follow this, there should be no problem in their life. There is not really anything else that can stop this because it's all up to the most important person in the gaming community, the gamer. If everyone can just learn to control themselves and not abuse their privelage to have such an entertaining tool, maybe, just maybe the rumours can finally stop. Control it, dont let it control you.
