Gaming as it is today does nothing to nobody. You pick up the controller you make the decisions both in the game and outside it.

I’m in High School, straight A’s, accelling highly in both Honors English and Honors Marketing, I play shooter games such as Fortnite and Destiny 2 both by myself and with my friends for 3 hours a day. Never have had a violent thought, just because I did it in a game, to think so would be awful.

I find gaming to be a great way to co-op with my friends even when I can’t physically be with them or see them. Accomplishing objective based activities within games has been scientifically proven to be beneficial for the human brain’s development no matter what the stage, it builds the branches of problem solving and hand eye coordination, which are connections the brain needs to make for us to be successful in our everyday lives and in school as well.

Games now more than ever are based on being strategic with your movements and where you move your piece on the chess board, to truly ascend to that next level of becoming a professional in your craft.

There is nothing evil about gaming, it has not ruined me or my grades.

To the sadistic and power driven parents and bishops on this subreddit, bring your delusions at me, I will not phase.
