A visual posted on the site mediaviolence.org shows that both young children and violent games can either harm or benefit the child during its youth stage. In the game Grand Theft Auto, Niko Bellic is the protagonist doing wrong things, such as killing, having guns, selling drugs, etc. The character Niko portraits a hero as a bad guy doing what he has to do to survive. This visual makes a powerful statement about children growing up with the wrong perception of a good guy. In the annotation of GTA 4, there is a meaning for every piece of the photo being shown. The gun Niko is holding obviously shows that this video game is violent and not meant for smaller children. Seeing guns on certain games may provoke a child to become engaged with the game just because of its cover title. Games now and days are rated for the child age , but that's not stopping them from buying it. The Title Game can tell you everything about without even playing it. The background, surrounding environment, color, buildings and more.

            Most parents of the kids who are playing violent video games say that is addicting and bad for them and their health. Children may stay in their rooms for several of hours without any outside time parents would say. Moms in general, are opposed to these actions and assume that a child should be outside everyday playing instead of inside having their eyes glued to the televisions learning a new way to kill something. But in the game Grand Theft Auto was made for maybe helping out with social problems. Going to a virtual game while free roaming doing whatever you want is a great use for stress relief and could be useful for teens. Teens seem to have stress over school work or work in general. Having games to play could help lift that stress off your shoulder.GTA was likely made for that particular reason and to connect with people online.
