One of my favorite things to do growing up was paintball. All of friends used to go out in big open fields and have never-ending, very competitive paintball games. I never listened to my mother’s worries partly because I thought I was invincible and partly because I rarely listened to my mother. What I did not realize is the possibility of the game being unsafe, and also leading to other bad habits and activities.

Many people think that paintball is a form of violence teaching children to shoot at people and other objects. Some therapists say that the violence of the game, by having a human target, can potentially evolve into a violent nature in children.

Regardless of the things that psychologists say or other concerns that parents may have, when all is said and done the only thing I think is unsafe about paintball is when you have sh*tty player on your team.
