I am a thirteen year old and I can vouch that GTA has helped me get through rough times. I was being bullied at school so I would refer back to video games to get me through middle school. I bought GTA V and funny enough, it helped me fend off the bullies. Not by playing with them. I studied the maneuver of the character Franklin fighting in hand to hand combat and I used the dodging mechanism and calculated when to throw the punch next time my bullies attacked. I managed to win the fight that they instigated and they stopped messing with me, even asking me to join their "crew"... Of course I decline
