Does the violence we see afect the way we are?

my parent are over obsessed with the 'violence" m brothers and i experience and i want to know if "violent" activities like paintballing will leave a scar in my personality

By beholding you become changed.

if your using paintballing as a fun game, and not being malicious,, its fine.

they may feel that the activities will encourage you to take life less serious.

Children learn their behavior by what is going on around them, right? If they see and hear quiet discussions, and are exposed to sports, they develop an interest in those things. So...think about it...if you are exposed to fighting and noise and "fake killing", what are you going to learn? I think your parents love you and are a whole lot smarter than most parents that don't pay attention to what their kids are doing. Go give them a hug and tell them "thanks" for loving you that much. If you have to kick some serious butt, do it on the tennis court, or at a football game. Godloveya!

yes it is true but boring if there is not enough love to be in your life when the violence is gone.
