Video game use among American teens

A 13-year old boy jumped from the building’s 24^th floor and committed suicide after playing Warcraft III for 36 hours straight. 

A teenager went on a rampage and killed three men, two of them police officers, after months of playing Grand Theft Auto.

A 17-year-old male killed his mother and wounded his after they took Halo 3 away from him.

A 15-year old ran away from home after his parents took his Xbox console away. His dead body was found almost a month after.

Two kids murdered 13 and wounded 23 before turning the gun on themselves acting out their own version Doom.

Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition of our impulses. “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the physiological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing,” says Matthews. “We’re showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior.”
