Banning violent comics for teenagers under the age of eighteen

Do you like reading violent comics? How often do you read them? Every August, the Hong Kong Comics Festival is held in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. A lot of comic books, including the violent ones, are exhibited. This attracts more than thirty thousands visitors , especially youngsters, to go there and buy the violent comics. The case happened in Sheung Shui La Salle College aroused the awareness of school violence. Some people are concerned about this phenomenon and urge the government to ban the violent comics for teenagers under the age of eighteen. They worry about that these comic books will harm our future leaders. I really share their view. In this essay, I will argue that banning violent comics for teenagers under the age of eighteen. should be implemented.

In fact, reading those violent comics is really time-wasting. What can the youngsters really learn from those books? The kungfu? The ways to torture or kill our enemies? Actually, the teenagers are just lured by the excitement of the fighting and bloody scene in the violent comics. Reading those comics will only squander time meaninglessly. As we all know, the schedule of the Hong Kong’s education curriculum is very tight. Students are required to grasp different knowledge within a very short period of time. Once they get addicted to reading violent comics, they will dedicate all their spirits into the comic books but not their academic studies. As a corollary, they can learn nothing useful. Since Hong Kong has the knowledge-based economy, we need to have a high academic qualification; otherwise, we have to struggle hard for survival in the future. Thus, the violent comics should be banned for teenagers under the age of eighteen. Thereby, they can be more concentrated on their studies and have more time to equip themselves well to raise their competitiveness. Our society’s future will therefore become promising.

On top of wasting their time, the violent comic books will adversely affect the youngsters’ routine activities. Once they get hooked on reading those diabolic comics, they can hardly kick it, as they lack self-discipline. In effect, they will just cage themselves in their own room and immerse into the unreal world. Those teenagers will no longer want to go out to enlarge their social circle or communicate with others. As they are confined to their own world, they will become egocentric and have poor interpersonal skills and communication skills. Those teenagers will therefore have no friends to share their ups and downs. Thus, they will be very lonely and their mental growth will be impaired.

The main theme describing the protagonists to use violence to protect our world and get rid of antagonists will directly influence the youngsters’ morality. Teenagers receive wrong message that violence is the only solution to the problem.. Although the importance of having relaxation should not be neglected, reading those violent comics is not a wise choice. Yet, in a civilized society, violence is not allowed. However, those wrong concepts from violent comics have been instilled to youngsters. Thus, once, they meet barriers in their road to success, they will use violence to knock them down and try every means to achieve their goals. Of course, that is absolutely wrong, but the youngsters are still immature and lack of the ability to distinguish between the black and the white. If all our future leaders only use such an uncivilized way to solve problems, the future of our society will be bleak.

All in all, reading violent comics embodies plethora of demerits, and some of them even will directly affect the future of our world. In fact, there are many wholesome activities for young people to relax, say, hiking, swimming, playing basketball and the like. These activities are beneficial to both their physical and mental growth. The government should implement this proposal as soon as possible, in order to help youngsters to ward off those violent comics. I really do not want to see our society to become a grim one!

Is it a good idea?

So... I don't think it's anyone's buissiness how old I am in comparasin to what I read. I go to violent, bloody movies. Noone stops me (I'm young, by the way, young is what I am.), so why shoul you take the comics out of my hands? Unless you're banning all of the internet stuff, tv shows, movies, videos, dvds, games, etc... it's a stupid thing to ban comics. A whole generation of people, possibly good people, grew up reading these same adventures, are you implying that they're not good people in saying that these books are having negative affects? That's what I'm getting! And also, I'm getting that we only read these books for the blood and guts. PLEASE!!!! Take away the speech/thought/story bubbles/boxes then. Take out the kissing/talking scenes!
It's true, there may be more worthwhile activities then reading about Bats, but think about it. What's the best way to get a kid interested in reading? Cause don' forget: That's what comic books are!!!!! I read the adventures of Batman, which entail some bloddyfight scenes. Shall I maby... change the page after reading what this one has to offer? I think I will!! Cuz that's what the book is for. A comic is just a normal book but shorter and with drawings. Don't I imagine the blood in ... Lord of the Rings anyway? So why stop me seeing these things. Of course, I'm not trying to say that the pictures aren't nice to look at, they are good visuel supplements. They really help me to understand what I'm reading.

What If they stop me reading Spawn I'll I'll, 😠

Write a letter or something.

Thats a good point, the Bible is overlooked in so many areas nowadays. Everyone is looking for a way to feel good and leave some good impression of themselves on this world. They look for it in drink, sex, drugs, violence, Movie stars, and various new age products but they dont think to look at the word of God.......................

Thats the Bible for any stupid wolvie fanboys out there................

lol..... i'm not going to turn this thread into a religious debate (as i have done in various other threads) ... i'm just going to say that i don't believe the bible is "the word of God" and leave it at that

*waits for this thread to turn into a religious debate*

Why should i have to read bullshit just because the plausible force of action is to violent?

Its your opinion and its as simple as that. I may have a different opinion but i understand your point of view all the same 😄

No easy answer to this...but if the focus were taken away from the children and placed on informing the parents, I think it would be much safer. Given the proper guidance, any child can be steered to a healthy lifestyle regardless of media influences. It is those who are neglected, or parents who do not take an interest in their children's interests who become the anti-social, possibly violent ones. If I have children I'm going to let them read comics as teenagers if they want to, but I'll make sure they realize which world is reality and which isn't. We don't need to be afraid of the violent comics, or violent media in general...we just need to be informed and prepared.

That, and I'll hold off giving them my Authority collection until they're at least 18. Embracing diversity is an important virtue for anyone, but exposing younger children to addicts, people who enjoy killing, etc. could be detrimental.
