Some people think that the crime among teenagers is increasing because of violent video games. To what extent you agree or disagree?

Video

games

have become increasingly popular among the younger generations.

This

trend has raised concerns about the growth in violence

as a result

of harsh

games

. Are

video

games

directly related to the unpleasant behaviours of pupils?

Initially

, it is true that the crime rate has risen in different areas of the world, especially in developed countries. Some people tend to believe that

this

is mainly caused by

video

games

as they are

also

becoming more and more popular among

children

in those countries with the highest rate of crimes.

While

video

games

can undeniably extend the degree of bad-tempered manners in

children

, they should not be taken as the only cause of

this

problem. There could be other encouraging sources of violence

such

as inappropriate TV programs and some Hollywood movies that should be considered as well. Having said that, the positive effects of a proper education can simply reverse the negative effects of any destructive sources. On the family side of

this

matter, parents should take the main responsibility of teaching basic moral principles to their own

children

and providing a peaceful atmosphere for them to grow in.

Besides

, every activity of teenagers should be supervised by their parents so that they do not indulge themselves in

video

games

for more than a specific amount of time. Teachers, on the other side, can act as role models for their students and discourage any harsh behaviour in them.

For example

, they can show students how they are capable of controlling their temper in some tempting situations. In conclusion,

children

should be allowed to play

video

games

with extra caution as they can be affected severely by the violent content,

however

, these

games

can not be referred to as the only cause of the issue, and we have to deal with other underlying factors as well.
