 The
release of Rockstar Games’ “Bully”
has raised concerns and objections from educators
and child health advocates from around the world.
After reviewing the game’s content, the National
Institute on Media and the Family questions the appropriateness
of “Bully” for children ages 13 and
older. “Bully” glamorizes and rewards
the kind of social behavior that parents and teachers
struggle with every day.  The
flagrant displays of disrespect should make every
parent consider carefully before purchasing or allowing
their children to play this game.
As a result, the National Institute on Media and
the Family has issued a KidScore rating of Red
for “Bully.” Because of the game’s
numerous incidents of inappropriate content for children
of all ages, we believe this game should have been
rated “M,” for Mature audiences.
The National Institute on Media and
the Family continues to
advocate that parents watch what your kids watch.
