The positive effects of Video Games on teenagers include that they may improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial skills, and computer literacy. Many video games may also improve thinking skills such as following instructions, problem solving, logic, planning, quick thinking, accuracy, memory, concentration, and multitasking. They can be a good bonding activity when a parent and child play video games together. Games that involve multiple players help with teamwork skills and with making friends. Violent video games may allow a release of pent up aggression in children.

Most of the negative effects of video games are related to the violence in the games. Playing violent video games may mean that teenagers are more likely to have increased aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A teenager who spends too much time playing video games may be socially isolated and may spend less time on other activities. Games can cause the players to confuse fantasy and reality. School performance is affected by the amount of time spent playing video games. Teens who spend more time playing video games have poorer performance in school, argue more with their teachers, and fight a lot with their friends. Games can also hurt long term concentration.

Video games can affect a teenager's health. They can cause obesity, video caused seizures, and postural, muscular and skeletal disorders. Video games can also cause teenagers to pick up bad language and behaviors.
