But agree that giving games like postal to children under 14, or even 15 years old, is simply not reasonable. Up until the age of 9, a child's consciousness is forming, and during this period they are very impressionable. Later comes puberty, which is even more own frightening. This period is harder for me to explain (I am not a psychologist), but I believe those present understand me. Yes, people are different, but in such cases it is better not to take risks. Children start smoking as early as middle school simply because they want to seem adult and "cool," without realizing that smoking is even more harmful for them than for adults. The organism is still forming. At this age, children already consider themselves adults and try to be like them in everything. They see an adult man swearing—meaning it's great, meaning it's allowed. In postal, it's not just violence; you can relieve yourself on people, and as far as I've heard, they award points for killing ordinary people—peaceful citizens. This is something more than a simple "release of aggression."
