Video Games!

People use the word addiction very lightly. For example, she's addicted to food or he's addicted to television. Addiction however can be very serious. If someone is addicted to drugs, they could harm themselves very easily. Being addicted to video games is not the worst addiction in the world, but it still isn't good for you. If you sit around all day staring at a screen you're putting your health in danger. People need a certain amount of physical activity to stay healthy. Instead of going outside and staying active, kids are inside playing video games. This is definitely not good for your health. Playing  video games isn't a bad thing, but when it becomes an addiction it can be bad. People can play games, but they shouldn't spend all day playing them.

Study: Not all video games are bad for tweens; some games encourage positive behavior
