Adolescents who frequently play violent video games and films without adequate education and care may increase their likelihood of exhibiting violent behavior in adulthood. I asked some parents why they let their kids play violent video games. Those parents would say "it doesn't matter what they play, it's your job to educate your children about right and wrong, to distinguish fantasy from reality." They say that “if you stop your kids from playing violent video games, they will simply want to play it more and will eventually rebel by playing it somewhere else, since it is accessible everywhere.” But then other parents would tell me that they don't want their kids playing violent video games because kids can't distinguish between fantasy and reality and might try to imitate what they see. I think anything that is seen as violent can impact behavior. I have seen young children playing violent video games in game stores, many times, without their parents' permission. I've seen older siblings let younger siblings play violent video games while their parents were not home. But the problem is that some of these parents don't pay attention when their own children display bad behavior. They see their children reenact or imitate the violence and ignore it, as if it might disappear. In my childhood I was allowed to play violent video games. My mother, a single parent, worked hard and wasn't home much. He didn't spend much time with us or pay attention to what we were doing. Instead, his routine was to come home from work, ask us how we were doing or if we needed help with homework, make dinner, do some cleaning, and then get ready for bed. The fact that I was safe at home was enough for her. So, you didn't... halfway through the article... didn't sculinity ideology moderate the relationship between exposure to violent video games and aggression?"
