 The Pros and Cons of Watching Television

By: Jack Arnold

      Watching television is extremely fun when watching with friends.  It can even be nice to have some alone time and watch TV.  Although, there is one thing that is not good about television.  The after effect.

Pro: First of all, television can bring people together to have a good time, eat some snacks, and chill.  Also, television can inspire you to do something right, whether it is to become a professional athlete or take on any profession.  Television can be clutch.  It can make you laugh, and enjoy the time you’re having on planet earth.  One thing that most people don’t think about when it comes to television is saving money.  Instead of going to the movies with your friends, you can invite them to your place to have the same experience as the movies, except it is cheaper ($0) and more private.

Con: First things first, television can suck you into the action and make you feel scared and you can possibly damage your eyes.  According to the website RNIB, “Watching too much TV or sitting very close to it may make your eyes tired or give you a headache - Particularly if you’re watching TV in the dark.”  Also, it can cause weight problems if you are binge watching something for too long, or even just eating unhealthy foods while doing it.  Television can cause laziness, and much worse sleep issues.  It can even affect your grades in a bad way if you go to school, or even if you go to work.  This is where it gets bad, television can cause brain damage or even alzheimer's.  Do not watch television for too long.  Finally, watching television can just make you feel less satisfied in life.  It can make you feel sad and down and not happy with yourself.

Pro: If you are watching a movie that has a book series, then television can inspire you to read.  Also, television can be educational.  According to the website lifehack.org, “There are also channels that are exclusively educational.”  Television can also be used to learn another language.  Television can be so good for you yet so bad.  It is very mixed in terms of mental health.

As you can tell, television can be very beneficial but yet very unhealthy at the same time.  These are the pros and cons of watching television.

      No, playing with legos and having TV in the background is not bad. It is only when you stare into it, it can hurt your eyes. Thank you for the support!

      Thank you for the comments the one skittle. It isn't exactly watching it for so long that can lead to damage, it is if you are just staring at it for too long or your too close.

    I really liked your blog. I also agree with it. I like watch TV but I don't watch it that much because of the same reasons you listed but I think watching TV every once in a while is good for you. I have one question for you though how do you feel about binge watching?

      I feel binge watching is not good for you if you sit the whole time and stare. Although, if you are with your friends and you are outside and binge watching something and standing up every once in a while it is not as bad. Thank you SoccerDog!!!
