1.They cause fights
Video games cause fights not only between players, but also between child and parent when they refuse to buy the kid the latest version. There is also the problem of kids being bullied because they do not have the brand new Playstation, so there is a lot of peer pressure that could just so easily be avoided.
2.Ruins sleep patterns
There is no doubt that playing video games can ruin sleep patterns. The problem here is that they get kids all excited and adrenaline is flowing, so how are they meant to then calm down and sleep when all of this is going on?
3.Seizures
There are times where playing video games can actually lead to seizures in kids and of course that can be a huge problem. This can be caused by a number of reasons and the scary part is that there may be no warning that it is coming.
4.Hurts your concentration elsewhere
If you are concentrating on what is happening with the video game, then you will mentally exhaust yourself and of course this is then going to cause problems when it comes to you concentrating on other things. If you are at school it will hamper your schoolwork and for adults even your job could suffer.
5.You get unfit and lazy
If you are just sitting around playing these games, then you are going to end up getting unfit and lazy because you are only really moving your arms. Clearly this is going to be a problem when it goes on for some time, so if you want to pile on those pounds, then play video games.
6.Isolation
If you play video games a lot, then you are going to be shutting yourself away in a room for hours or days on end and that leads to you becoming very isolated indeed. This can be bad news for children especially because they only interact with other children in certain ways, so it could actually stunt their growth as a person.
7.Nightmares
Some kids actually end up having nightmares due to the scenes that they see in video games. You have to remember that they do leave an impression on them and this impression can often lead to some very restless nights.

8.You don't learn anything
The only thing you learn from most games is that your reaction times are getting better. You need to get a specialist game in order to actually learn something as most are just a case of point and click.
9.They hurt your eyes
When you play them for a prolonged period of time you will find that you are actually staring at the screen a bit too much. This can then result in strain being put on your eyes especially with the fast paced way in which it all moves.
