Is it possible to have a friend forever? I feel very blessed to still have one close  71  from my childhood. Her name is Sarah. Sarah and I have  72  best friends since we were very small! We  73  dolls and dress-up when we were very little, and then  74  on to high school together. We played sports together and went out a lot. My favourite times  75  memories with her are all the nights we stayed up talking and laughing. The cool thing is that we still do that, even  76  we are a little older now.

The thing I love the most about her, is that she always listens to  77  and she is always there for me. She  78  me the truth even if it’s hard sometimes. She is not afraid to tell me if I am  79 , and is quick to encourage me when I am right. She is a true friend and I know that she will be a friend  80 .

Almost every child has already played video games or has his own game boy. I think in some video games there is too much violence and it influences youngsters, teaching them the wrong values.

In violent video games such as Duke Nukem 3D, kids kill many people and blow up many places without any reason. Even if it is only a game, kids become more and more desensitised (麻木). For them it is fun and later they can’t distinguish between reality or fantasy. These kids have some problems at school and are more restless and combative(好戰(zhàn)) than others.

Also, their attention span decreases because they are used to seeing action all the time. Unfortunately, there are guns which look real and are used for playing video games. Whenever these children are exposed to a real gun which belongs to the father, they are in danger. They still think this is a fake gun and start to play and sometimes somebody gets hurt or is even killed.

Violent video games are ruining children and parents should monitor which games they can play. Even if there is a rating system like for movies, youngsters find a way to play them. It is easy to go to another place like the home of a friend to play these violent games.
