centers in the brain that make people want to come back,". Also theres another expert named Fraser who said that ""Kids can become physically and verbally abusive," said Fraser. "Most parents have trouble imagining this—that their 12-year-old boy would push his mother when she tries to unplug the game. There's an example how kids these days have been getting violent. In the article is says that in reality if your son was a good boy and you let him play these violent
games they wont be that good boy anymore all you will have is an video game addict.
