[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately you are simply a loser if you do not play games among kids today. You can restrict video games but your child will be a social outcast. This is how (boys) socialize today[/quote]

Interesting take.

My 13 year old son does not play video games.  We have a gaming system in the basement that we only got last year.  He thinks it's boring.  He is not a social outcast.  He has a group of friend who are boys and girls and they hang out often.   He has boys who he is friends with more one-on-one and they come over and hang out.   They will sometimes use our gaming system but they watch movies, play air hockey, run around outside, call their friends, etc.  And no, he's not on social media either.

[b]My sense of the social order by middle school is the boys who play a lot of video games are perceived as the "losers[/b]" and I dislike using that term or referencing coolness or popularity.  But no, the video game kids don't seem to be at the top of the social food chain or anything.
