Well this is my opinion but i will also give you some facts of how it can be a social issue. First my opinion (You don't have to use this or read it i'm just putting this here lol) So i think that playing video games is sometimes good for like a brake. some games have a real good effect on your brain like prodigy witch is a math game but is very fun. also video games are good for connecting with your friends! Ok i'm done with my opinion. So here's the cons in video gaming. So if your in your house all day on the weekend it would be a really bad health issue because you sit either in a chair or on a couch. Sitting around to long can have a real effect on your heart or fat you get while eating and sitting all day long you gain fat. Also pervs try to lure you in on a video game that lets you talk to random people sometimes they say they are your age but you don't always know whos behind the screen. Also if you stay in your house all day you don't make friends in real life you just make friends you just met online. witch is like i said you don't know who is behind the screen! Also people can try to get you to meet them in real life but don't because what if its a 30 year old man or someone who kidnaps kids and takes them somewhere they don't want to be. That's why it can be dangerous. But its a social issue because if your on your brake in school you probably going to play something on your phone or text to people on your phone But all along you have people sitting right there while you are eating lunch or at recess you could hang out with someone without playing a video game on your phone. So you could talk to people all day around your life. Maybe if you put your phone down sometimes it will be worth it to do that and just try to talk to someone in your class or in lunch or after school while you walk home or get on the bus and let someone sit next to you. who knows the next person that u interact with will maybe be your next friend! ok im done lol iv never typed that much XDD :3 <3 baii!
