Do some video games make children aggresive?

Your blog's pretty good. I think that video game's do have an overall negative effect on the population though. If you think about it, almost  every kid nowadays has access to the internet. That means every kid has access to video games. Since about the 1980's Kid's have been reading less and less and playing video games more and more. It's now at a point where the less then half of the entirety of the U.S. read's for pleasure now. A large part of this is due to children not reading anymore because they are on facebook or playing video games. Also since the 80's the U.S. education system has decreased from the  number one in the world to 17. I think their is a direct link between video game's and education. Also school shooting haven't really been influenced by video games. The biggest massacre's happened before video game's ever existed. Video game's like CoD, Half-Life, and other gory video game's might make kid's more aggressive but it doesn't make them lose track of reality and go on a killing spree. Overall i think you blog is funny and correct. You seem to prove these examples through your stories.
