Video Games & Youth Violence

This article explains the controversies of playing violent video games vs the effects of youth violence it may have on boys ages 12-18. Some believe violent video games help boys stay out of trouble while others believe it encourages them to act out in a brutal manner. I am interested in this topic because in the past I volunteered at a school with children who were abused or had a poor home life. After seeing how those children reacted to certain situations (which were mostly in a violent manner), I am interested in learning about how others believe it is appropriate to react to certain situations due to something they observed in a video game rather than by morals they grew up with in their home.
