Do you think that video games encourage youth to use aggression?

Guns don't kill people, people do. Same thing here.

If you use videos games as a babysitter and don't teach kids proper morals they will likely be screwed up a little. More often than not parents blame everything but themselves as reasons why their kids are bad.

Think about it, if someone actually thinks parts of a video game, movie or whatever is real enough that they will act out parts of it thinking that it's OK to do so then that person is pretty stupid. Stupidity is a relative term, you can only learn what you are taught so if kids don't learn right or wrong properly then they simply don't know any better. And yes if you use video games as a means of teaching this then yeah perhaps it could cause violence but it's hardly the result of the game.

The answer isn't to shelter kids but rather teach them. Very rarely do kids act out in violence as a result of too much attention from parents.
