Video games are a good way to kick back and enjoy some time to relax either by yourself or with friends but I believe there is a point where video games become an obsession. Whether one plays Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, or the old Mario games, etc., video games in today’s day in age have become an addiction for people aging from a very young child to older adults.
I have friends that love to play video games but there comes a point in time where they just do not know when to stop the game. I understand that having friends over for the night to play some and chill out is fun but this should have a limit.
I think that with all of the new graphics in technology today games can seem almost life-like sometimes. There are so many different games, particularly angled towards guys that are all about shooting and killing. I mean come on when there are games out like Grand Theft Auto out and kids are running around shooting gun in real life because they want their games to be more life-like then we should know there is a problem that needs to be fixed. Adult wonder why young kids are becoming more aware of sex and crimes and a younger age. I know that video games are not the only cause to this and I am not saying that I am totally against video games but there should be some type of personal restriction on them.

week 7 DRUGS
We all know people who do drugs. I think that they need an intervention. It is sad when there has to even be a show dedicated to people who need interventions because they are so addicted to the drugs. There are so many drugs now-a-days and too many places that kids and teens are able to get them. All kids are taught at a young age not to do drugs. There is even a program in most public schools called D.A.R.E. this acronym stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. I know a lot of kids that were in this program when they were younger that now do drugs; so how can we stop kids from doing drugs when they become older?
Drugs can be used for a good thing when it is a medical problem and when they are prescribed by a doctor. Also one drug can have many different affects depending on the way it was administered. I think that our government or law enforcement needs to crack down harder on these people. They are not only harming themselves, but also, the people that care about them. If one were to watch the TV. show, Intervention you can see that just by one person doing drugs it hurts and it affects many people in the process. The only problem is that the law enforcement usually only focuses on major cities. It is sad when towns like Pekin are known for drug use or drug labs. So how can we as citizens help stop drug use?
