The Truth About Video Games
I play video games every free time I get for myself. Video games have a lot of benefits and one of them is that it can release stress. The way I see it, some people smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol to release stress mainly or have fun. But video games can be replaced in there instead of harming Your health, and it's not just health, video games helps with everything in general whether it's entertainment, mental health, jobs, etc. But just like every great thing, they have to have a downside to them.

It makes people not be very productive, not exercise, very lazy, and preform bad on academic activities. When an entertainment that's in Your room such as video games, it's going to be on your mind 24/7 as a way to help You enjoy Yourself and make You not think about other important stuff like maybe going to the gym or study for an important test.

I enjoyed reading this post. I can relate to this as I used to spend a lot of my time playing video games, rather than doing important school work in high school. Now I can balance my time nicely. Great post! - David
ReplyDeleteI really connected with the way you mentioned how games is a way to relieve stress in our days. I can definitely agree that sometimes it isn't a healthy hobby as sometimes I get sidetracked and play for hours on end. Other than that it was a great blog, good job!- Camron Diaz
ReplyDeleteI seriously relate because my time with video games can sometimes get so bad that it affects the things around me. My girlfriend for example, always gets upset if I'm playing for too long rather than spending time with her, so I'm constantly trying to balance everything correctly to make everyone happy. -Justyn A.
