It's true that parents have every right to keep that game from you, as do mine to keep it from me, but frankly, I don't see how it's gonna dramatically change my life. I got GTA3 when I was 13 and I have Vice City now, and, miraculously, I haven't gone on a shooting spree yet. Well, at least that's what some people think you would do, although the vast majority don't. But I really don't think that I'm an immoral person or anything like that. Well, most people my age are immoral and I'm pretty much the same, but besides that I'm not any worse than people who don't play the game.
Violent video games are blamed for the death of many people, but I don't think they're what we should blame them on. Just like that Bowling for Columbine movie said, people in the whole world play violent games, and they don't have any of this "I played this game and it traumatized me and told me to kill people" crap. The U.S. is a pretty screwed up country in its number of death by guns. There's about 10,000 more murders there than here. I just don't know what it is with some people there.
Oh, and being overprotected doesn't necessarily make you a sissy. Some overprotected people are defiant of their parents, and anyway once you move out of your house you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want, so the whole "sissy " mentality goes away when you meet others.
My mom swears AT LEAST once a week. And that's in front of me. I don't know how many times she swears when she's alone.
