I’m doing a project on how video games and movies make kids violent. Help me define if this is true.?

I am wondering if anyone out there had documented information on video games and television infulencing violence on teens and children. This project is worth 35% total grade for health and english. Please help if you can. Thank you.

There’s zillions of studies. I got rid of my tv long ago cause there’s too much violence on it. Here’s some links:
