A little late 15 & 16?

topic 15:
Video games don't really have my complete interest but honestly, I don't understand what societys deal with video games is. I think that it's just an excuse for bad parenting, and society wants to blames something that kids really enjoy doing. Although I'm not the person who plays video games for 12 hours then goes to bed, I don't think video games are harmful, but not necissarily helpful either. Everytime I hear something about violent video games and how its not good for children, I laugh because people come up with all these assumptions that the kids who play video games are going to go on a humongous rampage and kill everyone in the school.... No. See, everyone that I know has some form of violent video game at their house, and every guy I know at least has Halo, or Call of Duty, including my brother. So does that mean that EVERYONE is going to go kill each other? Ehh, I highly doubt it. Kids like violence. It's just something that society doesnt understand in my opinion. And although people like watching it, it doesnt mean they're going to do it. Maybe in some rare cases, but not usually. So video games are just fun. Not harmful or helpful, but fun. Hopefully people start to get that sooner or later.


Topic 16?
I wasn't sure if there was a topic or not, but just to be safe I will talk about finals in case we get a grade about this. I personally think that finals week is a bittersweet thing. Bitter, because of all the studdying, and all of the overwhelming tests in every class and always worrying about your grade and talking to your teachers. Sweet, because it means you're year is halfway over, and you get a fresh new semester, and new classes/teachers. And also if you've studied hard, I love turning in a test that I know i've aced. Unfortunately that wasn't Mr. Humphreys test. haha. But still, I look forward to finals instead of dreading it, because otherwise it just takes forever. This year, it didn't seem to be too hard (except for Mr. Humphreys) but it still is a big relief knowing that it's all over and that it's only another semester until summer! Yayy!
