Well of course teens should be able to buy violent video games! There are so many reasons why. For years I’ve been so mad that we teens/kids could never buy that video game we all ways wanted, while your so called “friends” rubbed it your face about how their dad or there cool older brother bought it for them. Well enough is enough is enough. It’s time we teens be allowed to buy whatever video game our hearts desires. Now I know parents think “Oh my goodness this game is too violent! ” but that all depends of the person. Ratings were created to tell you what age group they recommend the game to.
If you’re the one buying it it should not matter all long as you’re okay with it. “Shut up and take my money” this is a quote from the extremely funny Philip J. Fry for hit show Futrama, this quote was used because in the show fry hears about all the wonderful things of the iPod and runs to get on, before the sales clerk and even say anything fry says “Shut up and take my money. ”.

Yes this is mostly likely violent to you and too much for your child but some teens are more mature than others, meaning they know not say, do, or replicate anything from this game. If you feel that your child cannot handle this then simple say they can’t buy it.

For example the movie “The A team”, the movie has tons of explosion’s and chaos.
In one scene A Rocket is fired at a building, blowing most of it up. So I watch the movies to. This has been Fun and Interesting to explain but I’ve reached my ending. I wish I could have gone into deeper detail but times are short. I also hope that you’ll take in what I said and see that video games aren’t that bad. This games entertain us teens and is a great escape from everyday problems. Who know a violent game might catch your eye and you might be the one saying “Shut up and take my money. ”
