Mom: watcha doing kiddo? Son: I...am wat...ching TV

TV has been a huge hit. Its moving figures and interesting styles make the viewer concentrate on this machine for several hours.
Scientific researchers have shown that TV is a source of information for many teenagers. They `help´ them form ideas about the world surrounding them by the visually entertaining information.
TV is seriously a very interesting source of information. It makes, manipulates people have new ideas, develop values and form their human side by watching TV. Although it depends o what you watch if the effect is good or bad. For example, due to more black actors into TV shows the idea of them being different or less than others because of their skin colour has changed. They show the black, `ghetto´ side as humorous, talented and very entertaining; helping destroy the skin barrier. But they also cause serious problems on young adults because what they watch they learn. For example, every single TV show shows very thin actresses being all happy and the fat one being bullied. It causes teenagers to develop serious eating disorders.
The problem is that families that don’t have time to supervise their children 24h (almost all) can´t control what their kids watch. This can cause this kids that still have not mature enough brains to absorb inadequate information and get traumatised or use it in the future against society.
But that’s not the only problem. TV can make you vicious and unable to concentrate in other stuff.
Although it can be bad it can also be good as I said before. I, personally love watching TV it just helps me relax after a math test or get new ideas for a homework. In the other hand, after beginning to watch TV constantly I admit I can’t stop watching it. Once I start a series I have to watch it until the program stops. This caused my grades to kind of drop, because I don’t have time to watch TV and study! Although I’m trying to control it, it is very hard I must say. But this is different in everyone, because we humans are all different. I guess you just have to organise your time to make space for your TV time inside all the other aspects of life you have to fulfil, good luck doing that.
