Video games don't harm society. It can harm certain parts of society. It's fine to play video games just not over excessively, it's fine to talk about video games, it just can't be your only subject. I have been playing video games since I was about 3, yes 3. Right now I am very fit, I do very well in school and I have loads of friends. But I see kids that the ONLY thing they even know how to talk about is video games, so it may be harming society slightly. Video games are actually one of the reasons I am doing well in school (lowest mark I've EVER gotten is like a B) Video games for some reason help me experience this world in a different way, help me actually see the dimensions of things.
Video games may even give people who are really shy, a subject to talk about. But it all depends on how your brain works, some people take video games seriously, if they have to do something other than video games, they freak out. People who have been playing video games for a long time only play video games, refuse to actually talk to other people, and when they do it is 99% of the time about video games, so it may be harming society (trust me I have a cousin like this).
Yes video games have made me different, changed my personality, but it made me more mature, but still left with a sense of humor.
Sorry if this post was a little back and forth, it's just when I do something like this I talk about something, move onto the next topic, then I remember something from the last topic I was doing but don't think to add it there because I just get going with writing and I can't stop. Yea so sorry if its jumbled up
