The whole world knows that there is a game called Grand Theft Auto which is rated 17+ (In some cases 18+). But a part of that world also knows that many teenagers below that age limit play this game. The question is, how do they get their hands on the game?

The team at the MTV Multiplayer Blog has interviewed three underage teenagers to find out how they got their hands on the game. Read on.

But we all know that won’t prevent everyone under 17 from getting their hands on the game.
I recently talked to three teenagers who have owned and played “GTA” since well before the age of 17 — with and without their parents’ permission — about their past experiences with “GTA” games.
One 15 year-old told me his parents don’t allow him to play M-rated games without their approval, and “GTA” is strictly off-limits. However, he acquired “San Andreas” though a game-trading website, and they don’t know he’s been playing it:
“They would probably be more upset that I didn’t listen to them first, and about the content second. In my defense, I feel that going to high school has prepared me for the content in M-rated games.”
Read on to learn how these teens got their “GTA”s, what their parents do and don’t know about it, and whether they plan to acquire “GTA IV” later this month…
