Are Video Games bad for you?
Big Question
Answer
Too much gaming, or playing video games for long periods of time can cause some problems. If you are inside the house playing video games all day you are not active enough and not getting the right amount of exercise that you need in the day. It can also affect friendship groups, as you are not out with your friends, or attending clubs/groups. Certain video games can affect our moods. If you are losing a game or struggling to complete missions, this can impact on your behaviour and emotions. However, having a set time limit for age appropriate gaming e.g 1 hour after school, especially games which keep you moving, are better for you and your health. |
