Do you think video games are bad to use? \u00a0I\u2019m pretty neutral on this situation, but overall, I think they\u2019re alright. \u00a0I will give three reasons to support my opinion. My reasons are about gaming and how it can help certain kids, and how some video games are educational. I also talk about how some video games teach you things you don’t learn in textbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My first reason is that some games can help kids with ADHD. \u00a0\u00a0In the article, \u201c<\/span>Action video game may be used to treat people with A.D.H.D.<\/span>\u201d , a man named Eddie Martucci says, \u201cThis video game makes it possible for digital technology to treat the brain.\u201d \u00a0Of course, \u201cThis video game\u201d that he\u2019s talking about is the one he made to treat kids with ADHD. He believes this video game will have a positive outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another reason is that some video games teach valuable lessons. \u00a0Another article called \u201c<\/span>Take on a video game mission and learn about science along the way <\/span>\u201c has another excellent reason that is in favor of video games. It says, \u201cVideo games can teach you things you don\u2019t learn in textbooks.\u201d In my opinion, that\u2019s true. \u00a0Once, my teacher assigned me a simulator game so my class and I could learn about a certain topic. It\u2019s a fun way to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My last reason is that sometimes, video games can help you learn. \u00a0The article \u201c<\/span>Take on a video game mission and learn about science along the way<\/span>\u201d also says that video games can help you learn new subjects. \u00a0In the video game \u201c<\/span>Citizen Science<\/span>,\u201d you go through a city, and along the way, you learn new and interesting facts about science. \u00a0\u201cThis game is smart,\u201d Mike Lawton claims.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In summary, video games are decent for you. \u00a0Some games are educational. Others can teach kids things that they don\u2019t learn in school. \u00a0Gaming can even help kids with A.D.H.D.! Again, I\u2019m neutral on this situation. Do you think gaming rots kids brains?<\/span><\/p>\n
