I spend quite a bit of time having to re teach my kids.....If it wasn't for the fact that I cant afford it I would homeschool.Except video games have been around almost 40 years. No you cant blame a game for bad parenting and punishing boys for being boys. Hell I use to play war as a kid where me and some buddies would act like we were shooting each other and NONE of us went out and slaughtered innocents people with a firearm. Christ we use to have these BB guns with rubber pellets we did shoot each other with them.... Little yellow fuckers hurt to LOL still point is we didn't turn out into mass murders. So placing blame on a game is just stupid cause MILLIONS of kids play them. A fucked up person is a fucked up person they dont need a game to make them flip out. What I want to know is why we have so many fucked up young men now.
Maybe not the game itself so much, as an abandonment of parental influence thanatos. Video and video games babysitting. Work (chores) create responsibility. Parents making actions support words regarding an education. I dare say the hours spent watching high school sports far outweighs the time spent reviewing homework and discussing the child's progress with teachers.
