Playing computer games is a waste of time. Children should not be allowed to play them.

Some people believe that
computer
games
do not have a severe impact on youngsters,
while
others state that
computer
games
are harmful and
parents
should not allow kids to play them. I personally believe that video
games
affect
children
adversely and they should be limited. I feel the aforementioned way for two reasons, which I am going to explain in the following essay.
To begin
with,
computer
games
cause one to get low grades in school. If
children
play
computer
games
, they do not realize the time and forget to do their homework, which leads to getting lower grades in their studies. My personal experience is a compelling example of
this
. When I was a schoolgirl I used to a
computer
game
which is called " Barbies". I was in a hurry to go home every day when classes finish because I was addicted to that
game
. I hardly ate my meal and as soon as I opened my
computer
I started to play my favourite
game
. I usually forget to do my homework and get lower grades. Once my
parents
find out that I am not doing well at school, they decided to set a password to my
computer
,
this
made me very upset at first. I had no access to my favourite
game
,
thus
nothing prevented me from doing my homework.
Secondly
,
games
on the
computer
prevent
children
to be social with peers.
Children
who play
computer
games
barely go out and play with
children
,
as well as
help their
parents
with the housework.
For instance
, my nephew was addicted to
computer
games
, when he was in fourth grade at school. He always used to play on the
computer
, and he did not go outside for days, even though his friends always invited him to play. My nephew was always found accused of
this
and imitated the characters of the
game
. He had difficulty talking with his peers when my
brother
took him to the guest. One day my
brother
told him to throw the rubbish but he forgot and played
computer
games
until my
brother
come home. After that day her dad did not allow him to play
computer
games
, he started taking him to his work
instead
of leaving him alone at home. If my
brother
did not punish my nephew he would still have difficulty talking to people and would not help with housework. In conclusion, I believe that
computer
games
have a negative effect on
children
,
thus
parents
should not allow
children
to play them.
This
is because
children
who play
computer
games
get lower scores, and they will have difficulty associating with people.
