Playing
video
games
 are becoming increasingly popular among the new generation. People are divided in their opinions regarding whether
this
 trend is positive or negative for youth.
This
 essay will examine both benefits and drawbacks of these
games
 and my opinion will be provided. One of the most important concerns parents have is how to keep their
kids
 how under their supervision. Playing
video
games
 help to keep
kids
 entertained at home.
Therefore
 parents are not worried they will wander around the street with risky
kids
, doing unhealthy activities like smoking illicit drugs and drinking alcohol.
Besides
, some
video
games
 are educational and can help
kids
 learn alphabet or math or science. Parents who are busy can use them as a learning tool and at the same time keeping them busy. While there are few benefits from playing
video
games
, the list of drawbacks is longer.
This
 new way of entertainment can promote aggression violation ,especially among smaller
kids
. According to some researchers,
kids
 who play
video
games
 are ten times more likely to mimic
this
 behaviour when interacting with peers. Above all,
kids
 who are on the screen playing most of their times, can not hang out with friends and family and are lacking interpersonal skills. These days, so many youngsters are unable to communicate in person and are suffering from some social anxieties. In my perspective,
video
games
 are created to stop people from going out and enjoying their life as we used to do in the past. Nowadays, so many
kids
 are being diagnosed with mental health disorders and obesity because of spending most of their times playing on the screen. We should stop
this
 trend by replacing them with sport and healthy social activities.
