Bloomdido Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It concerns me that the games are about death and destruction. I had this dialemma with my boy. All his mates were playing MW and COD and I let him. He's thirteen. The Xbox is in the living room so I can monitor when and what he is playing and who is online. He has also been banned from 'violent' games for up to a month at a time after concerns about his behaviour at school. I am keen however to divert him towards more constructive activities. For some reason my suggestion earlier this evening of ballroom dancing classes was met with scorn and derision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could point out the usually very favourable male:female ratio at those classes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to wait a while before the hormones kick in. That is the sort of advice I would like to have been given at his age. I didn't get to meet many females when I went boxing at his age.

Solomon1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I personally think it is wrong i totally agree with you charlie! the argument is.....that it is just art, imitating life but i strongly feel that life imitates this art also ....and what we are filling the heads of youngsters with today is truly horrifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthedog Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 10 year olds should not be playing COD, they are FAR too young for it IMO... The fact it's "cool" cos all their pals are playing it is irrelevant, they are too young at 10, FACT! The fact is irrelevant, fact? What?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryedo40 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Both me and my brother grew-up playing violent computers games(and still do). We also watched loads of gory horror films. We are both now in our 40s and neither of us turned out violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
