WebMD: Video Games Teach Children to Use Violence

Medical Sign.jpg

Uh, ok. WebMD one of those online info spots for health information has an entry in the "Violent Behavior" section that talks about how children are easily influenced by television and video games. Actually let's just go straight to the quote: "Children are easily influenced by watching TV and playing video games. They learn by observing, imitating, and incorporating behavior. Video games teach children about violence and how to use it in their lives. Children who are exposed to media violence are more aggressive, and this aggressiveness lasts for many years."

Ready?
Set?
Wtf.
