5. Violence Among Boys

Ways of Reducing Aggression

According to Katz not only video games and tv programs lead to aggression among boys but also sports. Katz claims that there are sports containing violence which contributes to aggression among men. I do not fully agree with Katz. I think taking exercies help teenagers to deal with their aggression. “A lot of teenagers do not know what to do with their energy. If they cant get rid of their energy, it will very likely lead to violence” (Kröger). According to Kröger, we have to provide leisure activities so that they can get rid of their energy. One way of discharging energy is through sport. Exercises strenghtens teenager's sens of self confidence and teaches them to deal with their energy in a more controlled way.
