    Video games have become a popular way for many young people to play and spend their time. However, some argue that video games can negatively impact health. Those who believe video games are bad for health say that they replace outdoor activity and exercise with long periods of inactivity sitting and staring at screens. They also argue that video games take away time that could be spent reading or socializing, which are better for mental and social development. However, others counter that video games can be enjoyed in moderation and some may provide mental benefits. As long as video games are not overdone and replace all other activities, they are not inherently bad for health. Moderation is key.

    Playing With Your Health: Are Video games bad for you?
    Many young people like to play games. While playing games, some pretend to fight aliens or evil
    creatures. Some pretend to be pro athletes. For years, young people played outdoors with their friends.
    They used their imagination. Today, though, many young people have a different way of playing. They
    don't play the old-fashioned way. Many play video games instead. Their games take place on their TV and
    computer screens. Video game fans say that their hobby is just to have fun. Some people, though, say it is
    more than that. They say that video games can be bad for people's health. What do you think? Are video
    games bad for people's health? Do they have any negative consequence? Read the following arguments
    and decide for yourself.
    Yes! Video Games Are Bad for People's Health
    People weren't made to sit on couches or in front of computers all the time. People were made to be active.
    Video games are bad for people's health. To be healthy, young people need to stay active. They need to get
    outside. They need exercise. People who play video games spend too much time staring at a television or
    computer screen. They don't spend any time being active. Playing video games is also bad for the mind.
    Time spent playing video games would be better spent reading. Reading helps make people smarter. It
    helps develop the mind. It helps strengthen the imagination. Besides, reading is also fun. Making friends
    also makes people happier and healthier. If young people play video games by themselves, they lose the
    chance to be with friends. Real life is more fun than playing video games.
    No! Video Games Are Not Bad for People's Health
    Too much of anything--even video games--can be bad. But as long as people don't overdo it, there is
    nothing harmful about video games. Playing video games can even be good for people. People do need to
    be active. But they also need to rest. There is not any wrong with playing video games while relaxing. Not
    all video games are bad for people's minds. Playing a video game can be like solving a puzzle. Many video
    games can help make minds stronger. They require the player to focus on the game. Finally, many video
    games can be played by two or more people at once. Friends can have fun while playing video games
    together. No one should spend all of his or her time just playing video games. But spending some time
    playing video games is not bad for you.
