Video Games

Video games are fun, entertaining, and a great way to kill time. Even though they are nice for all these reasons, video games are not very good for you. Once in a while, a nice short game is good so that you can clear your mind, and possibly even reward yourself for achieving something that you wanted to. Video games are also very distracting. They can keep a child from doing homework, they can make you loose track of time and be late for a meeting, or they can make you stay up late and then you feel terrible in the morning. Video games are very addictive. Some people in the world have been playing the same video game for years! Usually people get addicted to a game if there is nothing that minute for them to do, or maybe they just can't stop playing because the producers of that game keep on adding to it. Younger children who play video games actually don't do as well in school as kids who don't play them. If you are a fellow video game player, I don't discourage you to stop playing. I just want to tell you that if you get addicted, it will be very hard to stop. Video games can make your vision worse also. People who already have an eye problem should not play video games with bright lights. Instead of playing a video game all the time, try reading a book, hanging out with friends, going to a museum, or even doing art. A healthy life is a happy one!
