Should a kid play games that has higher ratings than his/her age?
Why does PEGI have to be confusingI live in the UK so I kind of know. Never heard about the legal restrictions with games though, probably because they're not that heavily enforced and my parents were always quite strict with age ratings anyway.If you're talking about the UK, no.Isn't that just like the same thing with alcohol and cigarettes where you can't -snip-buy them if you're under the age rating but you can use them in your own home without legal repercussions?
Cigarettes just aren't given to children at all.
From the age of 5 you can legally drink alcohol if it's given to you by your parent and you're on private property (doesn't have to be your property however). From 16, you can have a alcohol and a meal in a restaurant if a parent is there as well.
PEGI ratings are legally enforcable, I'm not sure how true this is, but in primary school we were told our parents could be arrested for allowing us to play games with a higher rating, however I can only find things saying it's a fine. But it's never enforced (the newspapers would release many a story on the parents fined for letting their kids play Fortnite)
About the school thing though, perhaps it was just something they said to scare you into not playing them? Kind of like how every teacher has a story of some kid leaning back on their chair, falling backwards and being horrifically injured.

Not really, it's just a bunch of ratings with a number on them stating an ageWhy does PEGI have to be confusing I live in the UK so I kind of know.

what if it's a conspiracy made by the european union to confuse parents and teachers so they teach their kids not to play video games so that older media like TV and radio can remain relevant or something like that idk thanks for watching shane dawson theories part 1/10000

Doesn't really depend on the rating, but the game's individual content.

Should a kid play games that has higher ratings than his/her age?
I watch plenty of “Mature” Films and TV shows and I play a few “mature” games. My parents know that I’m not gonna light a cracker from inside a frog like Beavis and Butthead, they know that I’m not gonna start killing children because I love the character of the T-1000 and they sure as frick know that I’m not gonna rob a bank because I like GTA V. It depends on how smart your child is in my opinion.

I played GTA San Andreas and Vice City at first grade and I notice it has bad words at fifth grade. And I notice it is 17+ just few days ago.
But I don't care
Shortly it depends that kid's personality

I played GTA 5 when I was, like, 7, and I turned out fine!
….I think.
It depends if the kid can handle it.
Brb gotta kill somebody and then go to a strip club

It depends on the person's maturity level. If the child is only a few years younger than the rating, they can handle it, and they have adult permission, it should be okay for them to play. But if it's AO and the child's really young, they shouldn't be playing it.

What about old games? Tiny Tank,released in 1999,recieved a T rating for comic mischief,cartoon violence and mild language(the protagonist curses,but every swear is bleeped out).It wasn't until 2005 when E10 was introduced,when you think about the content description,if Tiny Tank was released more recently,the game might fall in the E10 spectrum(I could be wrong,though)
And is it illegal for a child to play an AO rated game?
