Some
people
believe that
computer
games
do not have a severe impact on
children
,
while
others state that
computer
games
are harmful
thus
parents should not allow their kids to play them. I personally believe that video
games
affect
children
adversely and they should be limited. I feel the aforementioned way for two reasons, which I am going to explain in the following essay.
To begin
with,
computer
games
cause one to get low grades in school. If young
people
play
computer
games
, they do not realize the time and forget to do their homework. My personal experience is a compelling example of what I mean. When I was a schoolgirl, I used to play a video game which is called " Barbies". I was in a hurry to go home every day when my classes finished. I was addicted to that game, and I hardly ate my meal. I usually forgot to do my homework which is why I got lower grades in many subjects. Once my parents found out that I was not doing well at school, they decided to set a password to my
computer
.
This
made me very upset at first. I had not had access to my favourite game,
thus
nothing prevented me from doing my homework.
Secondly
,
games
on the
computer
prevent
children
to be social with peers.
Children
who play
computer
games
barely go out and play with other
children
.
Moreover
, they do not do some housework chores.
For instance
, my nephew got used to
computer
games
when he was a fourth grade at school. He mostly played
computer
games
. My nephew did not go outside for days,
although
, his friends always invited him to play with them outside. He had difficulty talking with his peers when my brother took him to the guest.
Besides
, his dad told him to throw the rubbish but he forgot
instead
he played
computer
games
. After that day my brother did not allow him to play video
games
, he started taking him to his work
instead
of leaving him alone at home. If my brother did not punish my nephew he would still have difficulty talking to
people
and would not help with housework.
In conclusion, I believe that
computer
games
have a negative effect on kids,
thus
parents should not allow
children
to play them.
This
is because
children
who play
computer
games
get lower grades, and they will have difficulty associating with
people
.
