Okay so we always read those crazy articles about video games making kids violent. I mean who doesn't? Yet we never try to find the real truth about them.

Mostly I think that people only blame video games because they themselves cannot accept the fact that it was their responsibility to oversee the outcome of their own child. So instead of blaming themselves they try to blame it on video games.

In truth if violent video games really made kids violent, then wouldn't most of us be killing each other already?

Wouldn't most of us be in jail?

Or worse, dead?

In fact, I am 16 years old and I take this as a huge insult to my intelligence. No kid, is dumb enough, to confuse fiction with reality, unless you're talking about kids at the age of 4-6. In fact in this day-in-age, kids aren't that gullible anymore. No, we don't believe in Santa, no we don't believe that bunnies leave little eggs behind the bushes, that hold candy in it. I'm pretty sure that most serial killers out there, usually were just people who were undermined by their parents, never had any parents, or were abused. There are number of things that can set teenagers to being bad asses.

Mostly, yes, it is the parent's faults. We're YOUR kids. It's time to accept responsibility for our actions and yours.

As adults you guys need to stop blaming everything on one thing and start accepting that there are millions of factors in the behavior problems of kids, teenagers and children. It's not one thing, but millions of things. Plus wasn't it YOUR handgun we shot other kids with? Didn't YOU buy the knife that we stabbed other kids with? Weren't YOU the ones who should've told us the difference between fantasy and reality?

Yes the truth is harsh, but it's not the game's fault. It is the adult's fault. The adults who hit their children, come home drunk with men/women every night, the perfectionist who always wants the child to be perfect, the ignorant who think 'oh my child doesn't know any better'. Take the blame and leave the games alone.

Peace out!
