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.
