Youths says that they enjoy a lot when they play these violent games. However this violent games are a bad influence. These games have been impacting our youths health physically and mentally and the players are especially suffering from financially.
Violent games affect our youth health physically.
As youths keep on playing these violent games they get addicted and their whole body starts to pain. Their eyes are being affected and suffer from vision problem. Various studies show that youths enjoy themselves while playing these games. They are benefited physically. Their healths is physically manufactured and these video games have similar benefits to that of jogging on a treadmill. But these youths stuffer a lot after gaming. They stuffer from sleeping disorder as they continue to play violent games, their interest is grabbed by these games and therefore they won't be able to differentiate between day and night and suffer from sleeping disorder. Studies show that youths playing games become hungry and eat a lot while playing and suffer from obviously. Hence, youth health are affected physically.
Secondly, violent games affect our youth health mentally. As youths keep on playing violent video games, they become aggressive. The study found up to 89% of problem, games are diagnosed with depression in addition to video games addition. As the game keep on playing more and more, they being to neglect other aspects of their lives Example, they don't have as many social relationship and ignore healthy habits such as exercise and diet. On the contrary, games also develop their development and critical thinking skills. Examples while playing this game, these are certain goal and objectives to reach. Once the gamers achieve those goals, they become satisfied and improvs their overall well being. However gamers become more aggressive after playing these violent games.

The players often upload their gameplay in their youtube account and thus earn money if they have more subscriber. However only the skillful games just to enjoy themselves but they aren't aware that they are spending their money lavishly on these violent games. Therefore they suffer financially.
To sum up all, violent games are really not good.They impact us physically, mentally and financially.They lead us to some point where we won't be able to have a penny to eat too.They will make us mentally ill and physically tired.Thus,we end up being too much sick.Therefore,we shall reduce the amout of time we invest in playing games and do something that is worthwhile for us and our body.

It's 12th of December and it's our mathematics exam for the grade 11 students.I hope everyone is practicing to the core of their heart where as I am blogging early in the morning just after seeing a text from our English Madam.That sounds funny and risky too but I just hope I pass on whatever things or concepts I have in my tiny brain.
CAUSE I AM WAY TOO LATE TO PRACTICE AND PREPARE FOR TODAY'S EXAM!
I wonder what I was doing till now.
But I know one thing that I will be blogging straight for 3 days.Although my exams arent over yet,I will be preparing for both the exams and the blog simultaneously.
This is what happens when you don't prepare and practice and when you keep on procrastinating things.
I have learned enough outcomes of procrastinating but still,I am doing works at eleventh hour.
I hope everyone including my family,teachers and the god forgive me for doing things at the last moment.
And what should I call it,a bad day or the worst day?
Maybe I shouldn't blame my fate or luck for my day being worst or bad as I was the one to start things at the last moment even knowing that I won't be able to cover up eveything like I am expecting right now.
LET ME HAVE THE STRENGTH TO START THINGS EARLY AND END THEM IN TIME!!!

| [My hero without a cape] |
"The only person I miss the most is my dad."
I still remember that exact date and time.It was 11:20 p.m on 17th August.'Do you know why I exactly remember this date and time?'It's because this was the time and date where I lost my dad,my only superhero.The only person who used to carry me on his back,the person who used to scold everytime for not having meals, the person i who used to pamper me with his love and care,the only person who used to be my backup against my mom and the only person I miss the most right now.
I miss the memories massively. Sometimes, it becomes too heavy that i feel like,"Why only the person who is left behind has to carry all these memories?Why only the person who is only having the memories has to bear all the pains?Is the person who left also feeling same?Is the person who left also having memories like the people left behind are having?"
Memories are immense pleasure but sometimes it just give pain.I do miss the time and the memories I had spent with my dad.But it's really painful sometimes because when I see a father and a daughter together,I feel happy but sad too as I dont have anyone to call as my 'Dad' now,I can only bring all those memories back and remember all those which is really painful sometimes.I dont know anything but I am 100% sure that I just miss my dad.The only person I want to have beside me is him right now.However,I cant have him.I can only go through the albums,smile at his pictures and drop tears while looking at his pictures.If this technology could come up with some time machine then I would not think about anything except for the thing I want to go back in the past and enjoy my times with dad but I guess it's my lame thinking.I feel like doing nothing sometimes because I miss him too much.
I never knew that a reality can become a memory.So,don't waste your time on things which are not worthful.Replace all those things with the time you are going to spend with your loved ones.

Summary
That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall,
Looking as if she were alive. I call
That piece a wonder, now: Fra Pandolf’s hands
Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
Will’t please you sit and look at her? I said
“Fra Pandolf” by design, for never read
Strangers like you that pictured countenance,
The depth and passion of its earnest glance,
But to myself they turned (since none puts by
The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)
And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,
How such a glance came there; so, not the first
Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, ’twas not
Her husband’s presence only, called that spot
Of joy into the Duchess’ cheek: perhaps
Fra Pandolf chanced to say “Her mantle laps
Over my lady’s wrist too much,” or “Paint
Must never hope to reproduce the faint
Half-flush that dies along her throat”: such stuff
Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough
For calling up that spot of joy. She had
A heart—how shall I say?—too soon made glad,
Too easily impressed; she liked whate’er
She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.
Sir, ’twas all one! My favour at her breast,
The dropping of the daylight in the West,
The bough of cherries some officious fool
Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule
She rode with round the terrace—all and each
Would draw from her alike the approving speech,
Or blush, at least. She thanked men,—good! but thanked
Somehow—I know not how—as if she ranked
My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name
With anybody’s gift. Who’d stoop to blame
This sort of trifling? Even had you skill
In speech—(which I have not)—to make your will
Quite clear to such an one, and say, “Just this
Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss,
Or there exceed the mark”—and if she let
Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set
Her wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse,
—E’en then would be some stooping; and I choose
Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive. Will’t please you rise? We’ll meet
The company below, then. I repeat,
The Count your master’s known munificence
Is ample warrant that no just pretence
Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;
Though his fair daughter’s self, as I avowed
At starting, is my object. Nay, we’ll go
Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though,
Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity,
Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!

According to the poem title,"My Last Duchess",by Robert
Browning,A Duke of Ferrara who has been recently widowed is sharing a conversation with a messanger who has come on behalf of a powerful family to meet the Duke to negotiate the Duke's marriage.While the Duke showed the palace to the messanger,he came across with a portrait(painting)of his former wife,the last duchess hanging on the wall.He then starts recalling the portrait session and the Duchess.He says that the beautiful portrait was done by the painter known as Fra Pandolf.He then starts talking about his former wife.He says that she was very young and charming but she didnt had the qualities of a queen as she used to smile at everything she saw.He claims that she had a disgraceful nature and smiled everytime.He says that she was lucky that she was married to a Duke(that is him)and get to become a Duchess.He was really offended with his former wife's personality of always smiling at everything so one day, he decides to teach her a lesson on whh she shouldn't smile at everything by commanding his men to kill her.Therefore,he killed his own wife but after revealing all these things to the messanger,he walks casually and accompanies the messanger back. He even showed another art piece to the messanger while accompanying him back,acting as if everything was very normal.
Reflection
The title of the dramatic monologue,"My Last Duchess",by Robert Browning,itself is an overarching irony,as the monologue doesn't really talk about the Duke's last Duchess but it talks about how he used to possess and controll his former wife and finally killed her.The poet has given a strong title to the poem and had even used a rhyming scheme.The poet has coveyed strong themes through the monologue such as pride and jealousy,art and truth,etc.This monologue best shows how a Duke reveals his brutal character to the othe people.Overall,this dramatic monologue is the best to read.
