Evidence
“… there who had been engaged in Mortal Kombat were more aggressive across the board.”

One can conclude that continuing exposure to violent RP games would begin to cause issues with aggressive behavior overall, which can prove harmful to teens. This behavior may spill over into school and social situations.
