Parents should discuss violence on TV and in video games and explain how harmful and dangerous it can be and allow playing only limited time weekly. Mothers and fathers should control what types of games their child plays and preview them. It’s necessary to pay attention to ratings: "EC" (early childhood), "E" (everyone), "T" (teens), "M" (mature), and "adults only," which are forbidden for people younger than 18 years. Caution is also very important because rating not always correspond with indications.

Conclusion结论

Violence children meet in everyday life turns to serious social problems in the future. Video games, becoming more and more popular among teens, are among the main sources, which give children the opportunity to meet violence. Unfortunately, in a rush for wealth, producers of video games forget about harmful and even dangerous effect of the repeated scenes of violence to the unstable psychics of teenagers.

Teenagers got accustomed to brutality and murders. What is more dangerous, they get active roles in the games, which can be even more dangerous than watching violent movies, where children get the passive role of observer. Such games are full of blood, broken bones, corpses and acts of violence and all this influence inner world of young boys and girls. Sometimes both children and grown-ups can’t differ reality from virtual video life and project the scenes of games into real life. New means and methods should be found out in order to oppose the destructive power of violence of video games.
