TV is Bad for Children

Television plays very important role in our lives, and it is also main source of
entertainment. We watch TV whenever we are free, or sometimes while working, and learn
many things from it. As the TV is used in our daily life, it broadcasts many live events and
news which educate us in many ways. But, sometimes children watch those programs on TV
which [1]....... not meant to be viewed by child's age group and have many negative impacts
on their lives.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old
not watch any TV and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day. The
first 2 years of life are considered a critical time for brain development. TV and other
electronic media [2]....... get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and
others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development. As kids get
older, too much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active,
reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family.

I believe that many children who watch TV for long hours, have many negative
impacts on their health such as they may weak their eye-sight at young age. In fact, these
children should spend most of their time playing and studying, which would give them better
result later and keep them healthy as well. If these children keep wasting their precious time
watching TV for long hours instead studying, it may affect their school result.

Many children tend to follow their favorite actors or actress and imitate them by
wearing same cloths, following same attitude and try to speak same languages. This
becomes worse when they watch any action movies and perform same actions at home,
which might injure them or change their behavior toward other people.

Television indeed can be a media to entertain and to teach children something.


However, programs in TV are not designed for children only; they also include some
programs for adult. Watching TV too much could make children following some clothes,
attitudes, and language which may be bad for them. Too much watching TV also will weaken
children eyes. Thus, watching TV too much is bad for children.
Social Media are Bad for Teenagers

Social media Web sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others
have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Social
media is becoming more than just a part of their world, it’s becoming their world. Teens are
spending more and more time online, usually on a social media platform like Facebook or
Twitter. Most teens now have smart phones where they are on social media networks all
throughout the day. They are constantly texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat
and Instagram. However, hyper-connected to social media could be bad for them.

Today teens don’t know how to disconnect. Social media has allowed them to take
their life online from the time they wake up till they back to sleep via their smart phone. One
reason this “always connected” activity is harmful is because of the alarming trend of
cyberbullying. Bullying has now moved from not only being in the school and on the bus, but
online. What does this mean? If a teen is getting bullied, they cannot get away from it! The
people bullying them simply continue their bullying via social media

A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social media during the night
could be damaging their sleep and increasing their risk of anxiety and depression.
Teenagers spoke about the pressure they felt to make themselves available 24/7, and the
resulting anxiety if they did not respond immediately to texts or posts. Teens are so
emotionally invested in social media that a fifth of secondary school pupils will wake up at
night and log on, just to make sure they don’t miss out.

Another impact social media has had on teens is teens being more comfortable
online doing things that they should be more sensitive to doing. A separate study by the
National Citizen Service found that, rather than talking to their parents, girls seek comfort on
social media when they are worried. The survey also suggests that girls are likely to
experience stress more often than boys – an average of twice a week.

Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others are basically
created to connect everyone around the globe so they can interact and communicate each
other. However, too much exposure of social media can also be bad especially for
teenagers. As it mentioned above, social media could become media for bullying, risk them
of anxiety and depression, and risk their real-life social interaction. Therefore, social media
are dangerous for teenagers’ health both mentally and emotionally.
