Video games positive vs. negative: letters to the editor

I think that video games can be good and bad. They can help hand eye coordination as well as memory because you have to remember where all the buttons are what each one does. Some people say they are bad because they are violent and that the games make kids lazy. I understand why some people think it’s bad to play them. Personally, I don’t think it’s bad to play some video games once in a while, but if you play them all the time like some people, then yes, it can be bad.

I think video games can be bad if all kids do its stay inside and play them. But, there’s nothing wrong if you play them occasionally. Some people think they affect how kids act. But if they are that concerned, then parents can just take them away.

Video games aren’t always bad. If a child is playing videogames, it is important that they have time to participate in sports and exercise. Video games do, however, consume a lot of time from the player which may result from them not doing anything else. On the other hand, it is good with hand eye coordination. Videogames have pros and cons for different situations.
