Behavior should be the determining factor for how people are treated, not their ages. I suspect we'll disregard your statement of age after this, and only look at how you act up here.
As for killing games and such: there is an influence on kids from violent sources of entertainment: our culture, filled with this sort of thing, is also the most violent one in the world (aside from warzones). The main influence is likely to be television, however, which is far more realistic; most children easily recognize that they're dealing with cartoon-like characters when they "kill" them on a computer screen. And the politicians and such who go after violent computer games, IMO, show their hypocrisy by refusing to attack the much more powerful corporate interests behind television networks.
Them's my opinions, for what they're worth.
