me being the most complex creature a
teenager I need something that is as
complex as me which is of course
videogames but a lot of concerned
parents ask why do we play video games
and that got me thinking why do I play
video games see the first point I want
to make is I’m a student and my teachers
constantly nag me about how I should
keep on learning and growing as I’m at
such a tender age in my life and that’s
true but of course I can’t always be
doing this so I need something that I
can also spend on that also gives me the
sense of mastery and evolution which is
video games see when you start off in a
video game your character is normally
very very weak and through your effort
and hard work you’re able to make him
evolve but did you know something
through his evolution you evolve too
when you evolve how do you evolve and
that is through determination see the
bosses that you beat the operands that
you get they weren’t so easy to get and
to be and video games really helped us
sorry I’m not a great speaker but I’m
still doing this see when you I was when
I started doing the speech I was very
nervous I was very timid and shy and
video games helped me get through this
as see I learned that hard work pays off
and determination really does help and
as well as of course every time I fall
over I always try and try again second
point I want to make is about control
and me being a teenager I don’t have a
lot of control over my life and that’s
because of the great hierarchy my
parents and this is very disappointing
but video games helps me get over it
games like Minecraft and Skyrim allow
you to choose who you are who you can
become your characteristics like your
weaknesses and your strengths and your
surroundings and this is incredible
because for your child this is a
creative playground and not only is it a
creative playground but you’re able to
learn and grow in a much better and
faster way the third point I want to
make is about multiplayer games see in
multiplayer games you have your
character who plays with other people
and these teachers are something in the
real world which is incredible and that
is collaboration through you playing
with other people who you might not know
you learn to collaborate and as well as
communication skills which is very key
in today’s world aside from all of this
I want to talk about something that
video games can do but people don’t
really see it as doing which is
spreading awareness see when I before I
did this speech my brother came to me
what’s a game that I didn’t find very
fun see before I play it as I was
playing as I was playing what happened
was that on I played as a girl this girl
was going I was waiting outside a club
and the problem was that the depressing
part was it end up as me being harassed
well the girl being harassed but me
playing as that girl and this opened my
eyes to something which I didn’t really
realize and that was it taught me
empathy and in a world which is so
complex you don’t empathize for someone
who is right beside you someone close to
you like family and friends another
thing I want to talk about is something
darker like violence in video games
again a lot of concerned parents ask
does the negative negative effect of
violence and video games affect my kids
and media and other parents always say
yes it does but that’s not completely
true because see it’s more about the
personality type of the gamer but you
know why it’s more of a spot about the
personality type of the gamer it’s
because these games just because this
show violence in the first there it’s
way more than that
see games like fortnight as well as Call
of Duty they involve you of course
shooting people but that’s not all
that’s not what it’s all about see you
have to plan forward you have to show
your communication skills and really
pull through with your tea
which is incredible because you’re able
to learn and plan forward and another
thing I want to talk about is about how
parents believe that video games cause
addiction and how this may break up
families
now that again is not completely true I
feel like instead of looking at as kids
get addicted we should see that this is
such a beautiful a beautiful beautiful
medium for our kids and you as a parent
to come and engage your kids and not
only that but while you are engaging you
are able to be have this best friend
sort of feel with your child and you’re
able to learn even more about your kid
and with this they’re obviously a few
bonuses which is you learn to how to
adapt with your kid as well you can as
well as monitoring his gameplay now
finally I want to say a few words to
both parties
parents as well as kids parents use
video games as a way to engage their
kids and teach them and kids never
overdo it I know you keep one I want to
play but you should know when to start
and want to stop you should know and
have control over the questions of what
and how much and just remember keep on
gaming thank you [Applause]
