Nowadays, more and more children play computer games because there is a computer at almost every home. Moreover, the number of Internet cafes is increased and playing games becomes easier. Personally, I believe that computer games are not beneficial for children but they have an negative impact on them.
To start with, the majority of computer games have violent scenes. They present wars and the child takes the role of a soldier who has to kill a lot of people in order to win the battle and the game. That is why many children have violent behavior at school. When they are young, they cannot distinguish the game from reality and sometimes they attack against their classmates. This violent behavior comes definetely from this kind of games. 
Another reason that I think is worth mentioning is that a lot of children prefer to play computer games rather than to meet their friends. This situation leads to unsociable, unfriendly and shy personalities. When they enter another stage of their life, for instance when they reach practical life, they find it difficult to communicate with other people. Moreover, being alone leads to depression. This is an important problem that many teenagers experience.
