Video Games and Suicide

Everyone is concerned about kids killing themselves, but why is it happening?

Some people blame violence in movies, on television, and in video games.

I blame video games for a completely different reason: they reward suicide.

"What?  Video games reward suicide? In what universe?"

Watch a kid play a video game for a while. If he or she gets off to a bad start, what's the next step?

Kill yourself.

They actually call it "killing myself". Sometimes they do it multiple times in a row to end the game so they can start over.

When the going gets tough... kill yourself and start over.

We need some psychologists to look into this.
