Just like most of the teenagers, I also play violent video games, and I tend to believe that spending most of the time playing violent video games might interfere with the behavioral patterns of the teens, making them aggressive or violent.

In his report “After New Town,” Jeffry Brown, in the video, ‘Can Violent Games Play a Role in Violent Behaviour,’ reaffirms that killing of enemies…
