Playing Computer Games


Our parents used to play classic- outdoor games, and they view them as the best activities they had ever known. They say that those games shaped their character, and they left unforgettable memories since they played together as a one-family even if they don’t know each other well. For example, they used to play hide and seek which is played by letting one player count tell 10 and the rest find spots to hide in, so computers are not needed from their point of view. In this essay, we are going to take a closer look at computer games and their effects on kids.


I am Noor, and I am 13 years old. My mother keeps telling me that I am addicted to computer games. I spend more than 3 hours every day playing Fortnite with my friends. To be accurate, they are not my friends, I have known them while playing because the game is designed as rooms and in each room, there is a couple of players from more than one country. I admit that I spend too much time, but I don’t think it is that bad as my parents said. Video games have some disadvantages, but they have other hidden benefits. For instance, I feel I became more concentrated because I keep staring at the screen, and I stay attentive during the game. Moreover, I noticed that I am now a good multitasker, I play, eat, talk to my brother, and more all at the same time. My favorite computer games are Pubge, Fortnite, and Minecraft. Now, I switched to my Ipad, I think it is easier since I can take it with me wherever I want.


I am not saying that computer games are good, but they are today’s trend, and I promised my parents not to play during examinations, and during my study time.
