Ban Video Games and online games for under 18s

Open for signatures 19 signatures

What the petition asks

We think video games are creating a massive influence and impact on under 18s and that it is causing a massive decrease on their social life with friends and family and that is negatively impacting their eyesight and their school grades.
We think that if video games are banned then people will get better grades spend more time with their family and friends just like social media this is another massive problem for the younger generation after social media
