The studies have some truth to them but in actuality parents should be aware of what types of games children should be playing.Games these days tend to be more aggressive when it comes to combat, so naturally a child from an earlier age would start mimic these types of behavior as a form of imitations.. That games are rated accordingly and parents should monitor or at least see whether or not a game is suitable for a child...Its also up to the parents to educate their children in the types of games that are out there. Even as teenager, the mind is still growing so I believe that parents should take some partial interest at what types of games they are playing an monitor if is indeed disrupting their behavior...

I know its easier said than done but I know my parents did the same for me.


My parents bought me Nintendo at a very early age but the types of game games they got for me were rpg types (Mario, Legends of Zelda, Final Fantasy)

Now if you think about it these types of games are also violent in a sense that you have to defeat 'creatures and bosses' in order to get through a level.


However my parents earlier on taught me that such things are make believe and whatever games I proceeded to acquire are also make believe. And violence in the game is meant only for the game, and to only take out the positive aspects, such as problem solving and tactics.


I may add more later on regarding this subject.
