Television todayRelated ArticlesTelevision today. This is what I'm here to write about. Ever find yourself watching TV all the time? Have you ever find your homework not all the way done? Ever been late for work?
Television is something that has been a well known cause as to why things like this happen. Over 65% of people in the world have lost their jobs, failed there classes and much more just to the effect of television. Television is just like a drug or an alcohol, it's very addictive. Now a days, people stay up so late just to watch tv, see their favorite episode of the Simpsons, watch the news, WHATEVER. It's something that should be a little bit more taken care of. I go to a small school and lots of people, well at least half, are failing some of their classes because they stay up to late watching television! And they admit to it! I know it isn't really possible to just "get rid" of TV, but people need to watch their limits! Not only does it affect your surroundings and the things you do but it effects yourself. Some people now wear glasses just because they think it was okay to watch TV in the dark or they sat to close to the TV screen. If your a parent you should watch your kids, watch them watch TV, make sure there not watching television shows that isn’t age appropriate for them. 7 year olds shouldn’t be watching Southpark, teenagers shouldn’t be watching porno! Don't take the risk of having a bad child, because once they become bad at a young age, it'll be hard just to try and make them a good kid again. Kids and teens are just beginning to develope their brains, to expand their education. So, right now, our elders, need to be watching us more often. I sit, as a teenager myself, and watch TV occasionally, but not always. When I go over to a friend's house, or listen to other people talk about what they did over the weekend, all they seem to talk about is "Wow! You see that new episode of Digimon on TV?" or "Cool! I think that show is awsome! The best part is when the lil kid told that guy to piss off!" This is not what we should have to listen to. Watch your children every step of the way. Be their hero. Even if you are their older sibling, be a guardian, take care of them. Don't let a television set just eat their mind away. |
