Hi raiders...after a long night of partying,i'm back in business...anyway,recently i've watched a documentary that talked about video games and teenagers...quite interesting,actually....So,what do you think : can video games influence the teenagers behavior these days?
shareI think if it's a violent game it desensitizes them but I think the percentage it would actually influence them to act upon it is small. There's other things going on in their lives to encourage them to that degree.
I think it's unhealthy to be constantly exposed to violent games or movies.
Personally I think having a mother and father around and available for them makes a big difference.
Don't get me wrong, I know single parents who do a great job raising their kids on their own and I know one family in particular where the parents are still together but neither makes themselves "available" for their kids. The kids have been getting into a lot of trouble, from getting kicked out of school to getting arrested.
But in general I see kids more well rounded when there's stability in the family and parents are involved in their lives -- and are not afraid to say no to them.

To be clear...i do games,but i'm very calm and patient in the real life,also...some say that is annoying...
shareMaybe in your case, the games are an outlet for you. They are a way of allowing you to unwind and relieve you of any hostility and stress. That is possibly why you are calm and patient in real life.
shareI agree with missmargo.
I know a man who is an interrogator but you would never ever know it as he is always as calm as can be! He must get it all out at work!
Short answer: yes.
