Many games are educational, but Fortnite isn’t one of them. Games can be fun, but they also need to be structured and have a purpose. So today I will be explaining about the topic and how it is violent, unhealthy and a waste of money.

Fortnite is very unhealthy. Kids and Adults get addicted to the game, which is unhealthy for all areas of your life/body. It mostly affects your academic, social and maturity skills. Another thing that can be a big problem is sight, it can cause blurred vision and headaches. Although you can connect with gamers on Fortnite, some are 40-50 years old, while others are only 7-10 year old. In a survey on Feb 2020, Fortnite gamers in the USA spent 6-10 hours a day on Fortnite (34%).

People spend too much money on the game. There are a lot of different things that you can spend money on in Fortnite. It teaches kids that it is ok to spend money on dumb things like that. 13,500 v-bucks cost $79.99 alone, 800-2000 v-bucks can buy a costume for your avatar.

Fortnite promotes violence. The game is all about being the last man standing, and in order to do that you have to kill others. Obviously it's not real life, but this promotes the idea to young children that violence is the answer to everything. It also includes guns, knifes and many other weapons.

There are so many other games that can help with your education. Games that aren’t violent, waste of money or unhealthy for your mind. Why not try a game like Minecraft where you can learn to build and work as a team.
