Should teens under 14 be allowed to buy and play violent video games?
hook
do you ever wonder what your 12 year old is doing in the basement, and why there are so many gunshots and screaming?
“We are no longer worried that children are missing school because of video games, though. We are worried that they are murdering their classmates because of video games.”
― Tom Bissell
thesis statement
i personally believe that teenagers under 14 should not be allowed to play violent video games, as some are violent to the extreme and kids that age shouldn't be exposed to that kind of stuff yet. it could lead to a massive amount of anxiety and stress
I strongly believe that children under 14 years should not be exposed to violent video games. some children may look up to some characters in video games, and if that character hurts someone, the child might be influenced to do the same.
