watching tv is a waste of time ?

Nowadays, television has become a major part of our lives. Almost every home has a television. In fact, even restaurants, grocery shop, clinics and also mamak stores have televisions as a way to attract customers. We are now a television nation but this is not something that we should be proud of because television is not a vital necessity in our lives. Furthermore, too much television is eating our life away.
-Watching television is a waste of time. When we watch television, we give it our visual and audio attention and there is very little we can do while watching television. We may enjoy a snack or two but that only ad up to the television does not allow us to do something else beneficial. A huge percentage of adolescents have started developing unhealthy habits in front of the television. Watching T.V. can really pack on the pounds when exercising is seldom and snacking is often. It has been proven that the more time a person spends sitting in life, the sooner they are going to die. Being active is one of the most important necessities of a person’s body; and why would someone want to abuse their bodies by obsessive T.V. watching? More time should be spent experiencing the great outdoors and developing real life friendships.
-Television is a waste of time and it’s slowly corrupting the minds of our youth. It can encourage teen violence, sex, drugs, inappropriate language, and bullying. Unhealthy lifestyles and low social skills are also a negative affect from T.V. The time spent watching television should be a small limited amount of time and more time should be spent outside and interacting with people. Some of the shows that teenagers decide to watch are very negative and destructive to the mind. Dramas can put extra stress on the shoulders of our youth, and teens live with enough stress in their lives as it is. Teen minds are like sponges, they soak up their environment and act like the influences they are around. More kids are put through bullying today
