Cons of Playing Video Games

          In this technology advanced century, video games are common necessity for youngster, even though adults also addicted to video games. It can be found everywhere and anytime. Video games bring happiness and help the busy citizen to release their pressure, however it can harm you in more than one way.          
          First of all, playing video games causes people to neglecting their works, especially the students. A study found that students who had a video game player to distract them in college studied 40 minutes less and it translated to a first-semester drop of 0.241 points on a 4.0 scale. As the saying ‘time is gold’, this amount of time can be wisely allocated to other beneficial activities such as exercising.
          Besides that, playing video games for a long period may causes us shuffle with health problems for example obesity. This is because the potato couches who keep sitting in front of the computer for hours. If they are playing a good video game, the only time they get up is to use the bathroom and having meal. Thus, video games can also cause people to lose sleep and become to an immobile when awake.
          Furthermore, video games also give rise to juvenile cases each year, which is one of the main headache for almost every country. Video games that are broadcasted contain a huge dose of violent, sexual and even crimes scenes which will easily pollute the immature mind of a teenager. This will definitely lead to a huge increase in robbery, kidnapping, raping, illegal racing and even killing. All these juvenile casas surely is going to undermine the dignity or our country.
          In conclusion, I still strongly think that video games bring more cons than pros if no self-discipline among the video games players.
