Wake up citizens of planet earth, that applies to parent's also! And stop poisoning the youth of today. It's bad enough that parents poison their youth with fast food and junk foods, So now you assist even further in their unhealthy habits.  What has happened to our society? We feed our teens junk, then we medicate them because they are diagnosed with ADD / ADHD. Hum? is there a blood test for this disorder? How about an MRI?  the answer is no. But if you have a school aged child you can bet you will get a call stating we believe your child has this disorder.  Now take your child or teen and place them in front of a screen with a game controller and see how much they pay attention.  get the picture?

Too much of anything is not good for you. Select video games with the proper rating and time playing kept to a minimum isn't harmful to the teen but that's not good enough for the majority now is it?  As if it wasn't bad enough that today's teens don't get proper rest or exercise, eat fast foods and junk foods now they somehow get their hands on mature rated video games, Adult rated games, violent games, where they pick up hookers, steal cars, beat and rob others, make drug transactions, or kill on a massive scale blowing away everyone in their path.  Some adult is purchasing these games for them and some parent is allowing them to play them.

Teens will literally stay up all night and play these games. Now they will even play these games on line with adults using a microphone. Rather then being outdoors and walking or riding a bike getting fresh air and exercise they play these video games like it's a religion.  Teens will not be functional in school or in their social behavior. They will walk around in a daze from lack of nutrition and sleep.  Teens will let their personal hygiene take a back seat to playing a blood and gore video game. This means big money to the creators of these games and the stores that sell them but at what cost to the teen that is hooked on them like a drug? Yes they become addicted to video games.

Parent's wake up because the responsibility fall's back on you.

Wake up citizens of planet earth!  Wake up and put a stop to the madness.
