There has been this on going fight about whether or not violent video games make children more violent though i think that if a kid is going to be violent they'll do it with or without playing the video games. Sometimes though video games can be used to reduce stress and help people relax more than if they tried doing something else to relax. I know from experience that it is a very good stress reliever because it takes your mind off whatever it was that was upsetting you. I think there is no way to link for absolute certainty that video games make children more violent besides video games have ratings on them for a reason. They are specifically rate so that small children cannot play certain ones and only others. The people selling the games are required to look at the rating and make sure small children cannot purchase games with a higher rating.
