Hello, my name is Joshua Jackson and in my study hall class we had some debates. One of the debates on the board that the teacher wrote got me thinking about whether video games are really bad for you or not. Well, for me I find video games relaxing and take the edge off when you get free time especially if you’ve had a long day and want a break. Most of the time I would say I don’t get the time to play video games so it’s nice to play once in a while. I remember when I was younger a few years ago I was very addicted and I would play them straight after I got home from school.
After I had realized how addicted I had become I’ve stayed away from them since then. Now I don’t really play video games as much as I used to but my favorite game to play in my freetime is Fortnite. I feel like video games and especially games like Fortnite and Minecraft help build a creative mindset. I remember I used to play Fortnite a lot and after a while I got addicted and sometimes I would stay up past my bedtime because I was that hooked at the time.
Sometimes I would stay on past my bedtime and then my would take away the Xbox for a whole week sometimes because I couldn’t control myself. But too much of anything is bad for you so I would say video games can be both good and bad for your health. I play video games about every one or two weeks and I feel good after taking a break from video games.
It’s about self control and how much time you spend doing something.I realized this because I wouldn’t get that much sleep and I would always be tired when I had to go to school because I would stay up late and then it affected me focusing on school. Well, whoever reads stay safe and stay healthy and most of all stay positive.
