Mainly because of the violence that most of them contain. Violence causes violent thoughts and an increase in aggressive acts and feelings. I can understand how video games can worsen the level of ferocity a child already has. Being an avid gamer at a young age, I too have had my share of aggressive thoughts. Yet, I never intended to actually commit those acts. When a child plays a video game, he or she is rewarded for violent behavior such as revenge. These types of games put the teen in control of the violence and allow them to witness it with their own eyes. When teenagers who spend a lot of time playing video games commit crimes, the media indicts video games without question. In fact, excessive effort in games can lead a teenager to be socially isolated. This may cause them to spend less time doing homework, reading, playing sports, or spending time with family and friends. Games are also accused of teaching children the wrong values. Negotiation and other nonviolent solutions are rarely available options in video games. Women are also often depicted as fragile, helpless, or sexually defenseless characters
