TV In Bedrooms of Teens Is Unhealthy

Ever since I was in primary school, I have always had a TV in my own room. I guess my parents thought it really wouldn't do me any harm. However, a recent study shows that TV in bedrooms in teens prove to be unhealthy.

A research was conducted on several hundreds of teens. Those who have TVs in their room were observed to clock in more hours on the tube more than those who don't. It has also been known that those who did have TVs in their own rooms had lower grades to those who don't.

This is not only a concern of academics. It is also an issue of health. Kids who have TVs in their own room has a greater possibility of becoming obese since teens will have less time to do exercises let alone other vigorous works.

After reading this article, I looked again at the mirror... I guess this the effect of me having my own TV in my room. hehe ^_^
