Here are my reasons why.  The bad things that video games can teach us are bad language,violence, and delusion which is a bad attitude for your teacher. But not all video games are bad for you like word finder,scrabble,and online puzzles.

 The good things that video games can teach us is strategy, focusing on a task,knowledge, and communication. You can even get more confident by talking to people online. Then you can be yourself in public,home, and sleep overs.
