Major New Study Shatters Stereotypes about Teens and Video Games
Many teens play computer, console, or cell phone games so the Pew Internet & American Life Project had a survey and it’s a project of Pew Research Center and supported by the MacArthur Foundation.
They survey about 1,102 youth ages 12-17 and many American teens play some kind of games like action, adventure, racing, puzzle, sports and etc. and it says that 99% of boys are gamers and 94% of girls are reported that they play games. And some teens play violent video games, some teens playing games where they learn about a problem in society, 32% of youth 12-16 play games that are listed inappropriate only for adult and 32% says one of their favorite games is rated Mature or adults only.
When I read this article, I think that many teens are addicted so I think some of them are addicted and it’s bad for us because it affects our education and I experience when I have a PSP and I wake up in the morning to play my games and I’m not going to eat breakfast because of the games and also it affects our body, for example our eyes the radiation of the screen in PSP direct it in our eyes. But now, I stop to play games if I have school but I play only weekend so we have a time management to play or study.
I agree with this survey because I know that many teens want to play video games and our parents have a concerned to their children if they play matured games or for adults only because sometimes they are going to do it to their brother or sister like wrestling it’s not bad if we play it but we have to be older or you have to be 15+ to play this game so if our parents are going to buy a video games, they have to be sure that it’s ok for their children.
i like how you use facts in your blog. it has a harder impacts because you look like you know what you are doing.
