This article focuses on how playing video games affect children and if it makes them behave aggressively. In recent years, video games have become an important part of children’s life. Many games have things in them like fighting and shooting. The main goal of this research is to analyze whether exposure to such content affects children’s emotions and behavior. This study used a kind of research where they asked 40 children between 10 and 15 years old some questions. What they found out is that children who play video games a lot tend to get angry and upset more easily and they do things without thinking. We also found out that there are other things that can make children behave aggressively like what their family is, like how much their parents are involved and what kind of person they are. So playing video games is not the only reason why children behave aggressively. This study shows that is really important for children to not play video games much and for their parents to be involved is what they are doing.
