TV can harm you it can hurt your eyes if you get to close to the tv and it could also be beneficial because if your watching a show that you can learn new stuff from. I think that if your watching a good show that you can learn from it can make you smarter but tv is not good for your eyes.I am not saying that its allways bad for you but its not completely good for you.

TV can be good and bad there are a variatey of reasons why it's good or bad but, I'll name just a few. The reason why it's bad because it's it can give you bad language and a moody additude. The reason why it can be good is because it can give you a stronger vocabulary and educationed a little. For example I do doulingo it's an app where you can learn a variatey of languages like Polish, French, Spanish, Hawaiian, and a lot more so that's my reason why it's kind of good. Those are my reasons why TV is good or bad.

I personally think that tv shows are bad bcuase some of the of them dont teach you any thing or dont have a good life lesson behind them.Some do just like the educational ones like anilmal planet. I'm not saying you have to watch that show but you can also watch other shows too. You can watch anything you want to but i don't like watching tv. I watch tv just not alot. I like to play outside more than watching tv.but on winter days or snow days i like to watch tv but not all day. Or in the summer i go to camp so I don't watch alot of tv. Tv can be good and bad i just think its more bad than good. 😄😕😕. So that is what my thoughts are on tv .📺🚫🚫🚫

TV can be good and bad.I think it can harm us by being lazy and become overweight.I know this because in the article,Against TV it said that children who spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight.It can be dangerous for young kids if it shows too much violent things.I know this because in the article, Against TV it said that the average American child will witness 200,000 violent acts on TV by age 18.TV can be beneficial because you can learn by watching TV.For example the article, For TV said that children's shows,whether they bill themselves as educational or not,may offer opportunities to spark learning.It also said that documentary and nature shows are also entertaining and educational for kids like Animal Planet.I think that TV can make you smarter.

TV can harm us but also can't. There are some shows that can be educational and full of facts and learning also preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television, grade schoolers can learn about wildlife on nature shows, and parents can keep up with current events on the evening news. Other shows are full of violent,disturbing,frighting, and inappropriate images. For example Young kids are particularly frightened by scary and violent images. Simply telling kids that those images aren't real won't console them, because they can't yet distinguish between fantasy and reality. Also Studies have shown that decreasing the amount of TV kids watched led to less weight gain and lower body mass index. But when kids see their favorite characters engaged in fun learning games, they want to play too. Kids also like learning activities more if they involve beloved characters. Preschoolers’ shows are especially effective for generating ideas for learning activities and using characters to motivate kids. TV and movies can motivate kids to read books beacause parents can challenge kids to read a book with the promise of going to the theater or renting the movie when they finish it. Or, kids may see a movie and like it so much that they decide to read the book. Also good role models and examples on TV can positively influence kids because lately, kids' TV shows have begun promoting some positive agendas such as healthy living and environmental awareness. As kids see their favorite characters making positive choices, they will be influenced in a good way. And that's my statement and opinion that TV can be both good and harm us.

I think tv is good for kids because kids can learn a lot of varieties of good learning wile watching tv.There are tv shows out there for kids to learn for instance,Dora teaches kids spanish so that little kids can learn a lot of language. Media can give you wonderful things for your kids to learn animals cause some times not every one can go to the zoo and experiance to see animals,but if you watch animal planet you can learn animals of kids shows can teach children animals. Movies can also make you want to read the book or you can flip flop it around that's what I do all the time. The book has more details in the book. That's why I think tv is good for yo0u.

TV can be good for you but it can also be bad. The good things about TV are it can teach you a variety of subjects because Dora is a kid show that teaches you about animals, Spanish and so much more. It is also good because through TV you can learn about dangerous things in the wild or things that aren't in the state. For instance my brother watches a show where a person tries to survive in the wild. But at the same time they are teaching you how to make a fire and get your own food. Even a TV show like SpongeBob could build your analytical skills by asking questions like what's going to happen next or what are they going to do. Advertising can help people learn the truth about how things appear cool on TV but not in real life. TV could also be good examples or role models for your kids and have a positive influence on them. Especially TV can be good for you but it can also be bad. The good thing about TV is a can teach you a variety of scientific because Dora is a kid show that teaches you about animals in Spanish and so much more.

Advertising can help people learn the truth about how things are cool on TV but not in real life. TV could also be good examples or role models for your kids and have a positive influence on them. Especially little kids because they want to be like older kids. The bad thing is that violence can be a bad influence on kids when they're very little. Parents should be in the room at all times when your child is watching TV because you will never know if they accidentally change the channel or there might be a bad commercial on that you don't want them to see. This is why I think TV can be good and bad!

I think TV can be both good and bad. First my good reasons are that TV can help kids learn a variety of subjects such as math, reading, history, and even science. You can learn different languages like in Dora you can learn Spanish. You can also see and learn about animals in Diego and Animal Planet and learn about animals you may never see or learn about! TV can make kids want to try new activities as well like crafts and cooking. Plus if you watch a movie you may want to read the book version. Good rolemodels on TV shows can also affect kids. Also some TV shows involve problem solving. Bad reasons are that TV can hurt kids eyes and damage brain cells. Watching TV can lead to being over weight because it leads to snacking. The worst is that some kids can see people smoking and taking drugs on TV and movies which is a very bad influence.

TV can be good for you but also bad. The good thing about TV is that you can learn languages on Dora you learn Spanish. Also you can get education experience from ABC mouse and go Diego go. It could give kids imagination like what to do in a box [Spongebob]. TV can be bad by kids can get overweighted by siting and eating a lot of food also not moving around. Then their is the violence movies that the images stick in your head. Movies and kids watching rated R for violence and drug use. It can make you smarter and dumber it makes you smarter by watching Amimal Planet because it tells you true stuff but if you watch Spongebob its way different by telling dumb stuff to encoredge you to watch.

I think watching TV can be good and bad for you. It can teach a variety of subjects. Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go for example are shows that can teach you many things. There are even educational channels like PBS kids and Animal Planet that also teach you a variety of things. People can also see things through media that they don't get to see everyday like certain types of animals. It also modavates kids to learn if their doing it with their favorite characters. Like Super Why. Kids learn to read with a superhero. There are also shows that make kids want to do something productive. Like in Lazy Town. It made kids want to play outside or play some kind of sport. Sometimes TV and movies can get you to read books. Like in Harry Potter. Lots of people saw the movie and liked it so they read the book. Sometimes kids can learn to be good role models from the media. Like in go Diego Go they want to help people because they saw it on the show. I learned all of that from the article For TV. Some bad things about TV are that if you watch more than four hours of TV you are likely to be overweight. Some other bad things about TV are that there is lots of violence, drugs, and alcohol on lots of shows. There are also some bad commercials on TV like beer and other alcoholic drink commercials. TV and other electronic devices can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with other people. 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 think TV can be good and also can be bad. the first reason is that it can help kindergarten kids with learning there a b c like super y and dora and dego and my. second reason is that it can help kids that cant go to wild life so they can watch on animal planet so they can learn what lives in the jungle and wild life.

TV can be good or bad. I think that educational shows are good for little kids but to much of it can be bad. PBS Kids is a great educational show I can prove that because all the shows of learning language adding/subtracting reading writing we're learning how to spell.it's okay if people watch DD would have stayed with all the time its not good.and more good educational shows are Nick Jr or Disney Junior.I think little kids should watch more educational shows instead of watching violent shows or weird shows like spongebobfor the news. I think parents at all times should be watching what their kids are watching so there safe I'm seeing any disturbing or not good images.

I think TV can be both good and bad. TV can be good because, TV can help kids learn about a variety of subjects. If there is a subject your kid enjoys, more likely than not, there is a TV show, movies or educational DVD that explores the subject In detail. kids can explore places, animals, or things they can see otherwise. TV and movies can motivate kids to read because a movie comes out every year, you can bet their based on a book. TV can be bad because, If something on the screen and you don't approve to it shut it off and ask your children about what happen on the screen. do you think that was ok when those man started a fight or what did think about those teenager at that party. some other comment that I want to make is there might be drugs, bad behavior, or smoking on TV,

I think that T.V. can be both good and bad depending on the show that your watching. For an example in both articles it said that educational shows like Wild Kratts, Dora, Diego, or even a cooking show like Rachael Ray can be good for kids and heelp them learn. In the article Against T.V. it explained how watching T.V. sometimes can be inappropriate for kids and bad behavior can reflect on them.

TV is both good and bad. I think that because there are both good and bad things about TV. Good- TV can teach your kids good things, such as reading, writing,and math. TV can also show pictures or videos, or take place in places a kid will never be able to see or go. Example: A kid can see a panda on TV, and they wouldn't be able to see a panda any regular day. Bad- If you watch more than four hours of TV or day, you can become overweight. Also kids can learn bad language from TV. Another thing is kids can be influenced by something they see on TV. Example: A kid sees someone smoking on TV. That can make and impact on their choices when they grow up, and it can make an impact on their actions. That's why I think TV is both good and bad. 😊

TV can be good and bad. TV can interest kids in new activities. TV can be dangerous because if you watch more than 4 hours you could gain weight and lose brain cells. TV can make you smarter in certain ways, such as watching educational shows. TV can teach kids new subjects like math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. TV and movies can also inspire kids to read books. Kids can learn about animals, humans, and plants. TV can be good in some ways, and bad in others.

TV can be good and bad. It can be good because people and kids can learn to read and learn a lot of things. It can be bad because it can teach kids bad things like Americas funniest home videos people jump of the roofs of their houses. That's my opinion if TV is good or bad.

I think TV can be good and bad.I think TV can be good because I can teach kids like Octanauts It teaches kids about sea creatures.It can be bad because children who constantly spend more than 4 hours a day is more likely to be overweight and those are the reasons TV can be good and bad.

Tv can be good for kids because kids can learn a variety of subjects. It can also let kids see places that they most likely would not see in life like on the geographic channel. Movies and TV shows can inspire kids to learn how to read and do math because of their favorite characters learning things they would want to learn what their characters learned. Kids could also be influenced to do things good from watching TV. Also watching less than 4 hours can reduce their weight gain. TV can also be bad for kids because watching more than 4 hours of TV could make a kid overweight from watching so much. They can also be influenced the bad way like beating kids up on TV it would influence them to do that. They could also learn swear words from TV and use them which would be bad. I think TV could be good and bad for kids. That is my opinion on whether TV is good or bad.

What Think about the TV and no TV I am pretty much on both sides for some reasons. it depends on how you watch TV because all of you guys have watched TV and at least seen a movie. We have different kinds of movies like horror,comedy and rated R movies. So kids that watch a reckless amount of TV. Kids that play outside have fun instead of watching TV so an average kid should watch some kids when it is like raining for an example. This is against TV. Some kids have to much body weight that is used my sitting down on the couch for a laziest reason. To be honest I kind of on the agaist tv side for a bigger reason.

I am on TV can't harm us. But there are some good ad bad reasons for TV is good or TV is bad. I think can be bad sometimes but it can also be educational. Like, if you say your watching a documentary about a movie called "Gone with the wind" and there telling about how the civil war was in the south. But the movie itself is 3 hours and 58 minutes. That is almost 4 hours long! 4 hours in a very long time. If kids watch "Gone with the wind" then after that they watch another movie that would be very bad for kids. the they would become overweight. There is another way of becoming unhealthy by watching TV is by eating while you watch TV. Like for instance, say you go to the movie and you get the famous Popcorn and a Icee. That is basically a tradition every one basically gets popcorn. TV is a powerful thing we should use it wisley.

TV can harm us and it could be very benificial and help learn.It could help because if watching benificial show like animal planet,pbs kids,weather,go diago go,and lots others it will make kids learn about lots of subjects.it could also be very intertaing and neat.they could probaly never see in there life that is what I think that is good about tv.i think tv could be bad because you could get hurt by what and how movies are mad.if it's a nice day you might want to get outside because it makes you overweight and you grow lots of fat if you watch tv a lot.and if you get to close to the tv you could hurt your eyes.it also gives you a bad attitude and teach you lots of bad words that little kids can us.and know one wants that to happen.that is what I think Is good and bad for my article.

TV can harm people by watching shows that don't teach you anything. It can also be beneficial and help kids and adults learn a verity of subject. The shows that are good for teaching kids are like Go Diego Go and Dora the Explorer. They teach kids how to speak Spanish and count. I think it helps people learn because those types of shows like Go Diego Go help children learn different languages and the basic things. It can also be bad because TV shows for adults show inappropriate scenes and drugs. It could set a bad example for kids. If you watch too much TV it could damage your eye sight. It can also make kids over weight. They can become over weight because they aren't getting any exercise by watching TV. I'm in between the lines because it can be good and bad.

TV can be dangerous because it has been seen inappropriate for young children that are scared of movies that the older brother and sister watch . There is some good things about TV and electronics you have like go Diego go and abc mouse,pbs kids.Some TV shows have leaning tools in it like super why and Barney .TV is inappropriate in some ways .TV is good just as Mickey mouse. It helps your counting in Mickey mouse clubhouse because it help you count .TV commercials that are bad and it has bad language in it.If you set in front of a TV for four hours you will gain wait an you can get blind and if you have it loud you can get deaf.TV is bad and good but parent's need to watch what there kids are watching.
