Yes, the media has a disproportinate influence on young people today. There are many reasons for that. But the main reason has to do with parenting. Working parents, single parents, absent fathers, leave young people searching for meaning in the media. Television, the internet and too many choices offer lifestyles that for many young people are a dead end. The influence of schools is limited. "Student's rights" are limiting a teacher's control of behavior. There is just so much schools can do. Meyer's book on "Marriages, Shack-ups and Other Disasters," discusses the problem of the lack of parental influence and the dilemma of "Choice Pollution." A ground breaking book on today's social ills is also Gigerenzer's "Thinking: Rationality in the Real World."

Show your parents that you are a mature, responsible, respectful individual. Assure them that you will not slack off in school or ignore homework, and show them that you can handle it. Remind them that it is only a video game and will in no way influence who you are. For some people, it just takes time. For others, you've just got to ease into those kinds of games before your parents will become accustomed to you playing them.
