This is my baby.
My prized possession.
I love video gaming.
Everyday I get home, I just wanna play.
Oh here I come, here I come, here I come,
this is my final time.
You wasn't expecting this, boy!
I don't wanna sound like I'm a future serial killer,
but it's fun.
Like, when you drive a minivan through a crowd of people.
Ooh, I hear your guns.
I'm fittin' to come.
In the gaming world, like you can get away with stuff.
Steal cars, you can kill people,
you're going at each other full force with guns blazing.
Nobody will arrest you for public indecency.
That's the good thing about online.
You do what you want.
Sometimes when people are acting stupid, I get mad.
Sometimes I say some stuff that has got me banned
multiple times but I just don't care.
One time my consul wasn't working,
I took a rock and I threw it at the TV.
Let go of me, let go of my shirt, stop it.
When somebody like, tries to mess with me
when I get mad, I will punch, slap, hit, bite.
I'll do whatever I can to get you out of my way.
Stop, what are you doing in my bathroom?
(loud grunts)
Sometimes to release my anger, I grab a golf club
and I go crazy on my door.
These are the holes from where I did it.
It was a argument and I just had
to come in here, release my anger.
At home I kinda have free range 'cause everybody knows
like when I get that mad, you don't come over to hit me,
to punish me, to silence me, because I'll hit you.
Alex, how you doing?
Good.
So your mom is concerned about your behavior at home.
What is it you think she's concerned about?
Sometimes when I get angry I do stuff.
Well I been watching video tape of you
and sometimes you use really bad language,
you yell at her, you scream at here to get in here peasant,
you've locked her out of the house,
I mean you kinda do what you wanna do, right?
Yeah.
Why is that?
Why do you not do what your mother tells you to do?
She doesn't really do anything to stop me sometimes.
So you're in charge.
Most of the time, yeah.
Let's say your mom just says okay,
you're in charge and she decides
she doesn't want to do anything.
Since you're in charge, what would you do?
I would cook, I would make food, I would--
What would you cook?
Sandwiches.
Where would you get the stuff to cook a sandwich?
From the pantry.
You're gonna eat that stuff up in a few days
and then it's empty.
What are you gonna do to get food in there?
Work.
Where you gonna work?
You're 12.
I could walk dogs.
How much you get paid for walking dogs?
Like maybe five dollars a day.
If you save up and use the money responsibly
you could easily make a living.
Five dollars a day?
(audience laughs)
You know what it take to raise a child from birth to 18?
Uh huh.
How much does it cost?
A lot.
Costs about a quarter of a million dollars.
You're gonna have to walk a lot of dogs.
(audience laughs)
Right?
So I'm just wondering.
Do you take her for granted?
Sometimes yes.
Do you think that she owes it to you to provide you
with like video games and a nice house and all that?
No.
Do you think that's a privilege or a right?
Privilege.
