I for one am for preventing excessively violent and sexual video games and such media out of the hands of impressionable children. Yet, whenever I read articles and studies about this subject it makes me wonder. How old were the children in the study? What were the ESRB ratings of these games? Also were these children capable of distinguishing reality from fantasy?

Children + Violenent Media = Bad
I was on Blackboard getting a glimpse of what to expect on my trip to the library for Psychology class tomorrow. After a quick scan I came across the APA website. I did some random clicking on the site and stumbled upon this article about Children and Media. Basically, the article talks about exposer to violent media makes children aggressive. This is by no way braking news, but it's an interesting read none the less.
