Video game highscores should not be as high as test scores

abbeyI think it’s pretty ridiculous how many teens these days spend all of their time and money on video games. As my family sits at dinner having the usual two or three different conversations going on at once, I’m always stuck listening in on my brothers’ foreign conversations. Here’s the thing, they are speaking English, but gaming words I don’t understand. From Halo ODST to Brutes to COD ops, I feel like I’m listening to people from a different country talk because I don’t know what any of these mean, but since they paid for the game they own the rights to know.

 

I know there’s a kid in every family with the ‘not so hot’ grades. In my family, that would be my brother. He’s the kid that will pay the extra $20 for a game so he can have it first, and I think that’s why he gets the grades he does. Hours a day are spent brainwashing your mind with gun shots and dead bodies lying all over the TV screen instead of studying that nights math problem or the maps for tomorrow’s history test and I just don’t understand why.
In my opinion, the teen era has gone a little to crazy over these stupid little disks with crazy graphics instead of focusing on things that matter, like school work. I think the score of your tests and even your simple homework is 50 times more important than your highest number of kills in the newest rated M game.
