Video Games

Are they tame? Our children who were sweet Become anxious, Stressed, Obnoxious, Controlled, And upset When they can't figure out the next frame. They'll throw controllers, yell And kick things as if under a spell. In a blur they'll go to the internet Looking for cheats That let Them beat The boss to prove their fame. God help the person who should delete Or maim An unfinished video game. No one dare touches for everyone knows their LIFE will be over if anyone should mutter a name.

its like an obsession Bette, no wonder some children are lacking in social skills and are obese when only their fingers and hands see any movement:-( hugs Jan xx

It is sad that the way the games are made influence this type of behavior out of some children. Not all. Thank you for stopping by. I hope all is well with you and yours.
