Do violent games cause behavior problems in teens?

There isn't enough evidence linking video games and violence to even start that discussion, particularly when films and images of far more graphic violence are readily accessible. The answer to the problem seems to be the same as the answer to concerns about TV rotting your kid's brain in the 1960s: personal responsibility. If you're a parent, pay attention to the ratings, research the content of games online before you buy them, and above all, know your child's sensitivities and limitations. If you're in doubt about the effect of a game or other piece of media, say no.
