Dear Mr. Richards:

My name is Dezhalyn Cabalse, a student of Madonna Catholic Secondary School. I
would like to take this opportunity to talk about the behavior of todays youth. I
enjoy listening music and playing video games but, I need to control myself because
it has disadvantages and advantages. Listening to music and playing video games
are fun. It takes your stress away especially when listening to music. It also makes
you calm down when you cannot control yourself. Music and video games has
disadvantages to the youth. When they get addicted, they forgot to do their
homework and their responsibilities at home.
In my opinion, media is affecting the youth today. They spread information that
makes the youth become more aggressive. Im agreeing that the various media
should be penalized with heavy fines and the artists/writers should not be allowed
to produce material with overly violent content. It affects the youth because if the
media spread an information about anything, the youth will going to believe in the
information even though its not true. It affects the youth today especially the
computer games. Youth gets addicted and when they get addicted, they dont want
to stop playing the computer games which makes them lazy to do their
responsibilities.
I hope that you will give attention in my opinion about the youths behavior. Dont
hesitate to ask me a question.

Sincerely yours,

Dezhalyn Cabalse
