Television is the source of all evil. Even though it has many great shows and it is in a way, a part of our culture, children suffer because of it. Television restricts kids minds. It has been shown that children watch hours and hours of television each night. This makes kids less apt to do homework or even get the recommended 8 hours of sleep each night they need to function. They should be studying instead for tests. Tests are very hard, and unfortunately inevitable. What we need to remember is to study, and relax because it is just a test. If you do bad there are always ways to make it better. Tests will always be with you in life and you should learn how to handle them now. Study, eat a big breakfast, and don't worry and you will always do great. T.v. should not be involved in that equation. Also, kids who watch t.v. rather than play sports, or participate in school activities, usually gain weight. So what would you rather be? A stimulated student with many activities, or a lazy couch potato who is overweight? That is your choice.
