Too Much T.V?

  Studies shown that too much t.v can lower grades,and get a less chance of getting in ,or finishing college. Three different studies showed kids tv viewing habits had a bad effect in school later in their lifetime. For example, having a t.v in their bedroom was linked to lower grades. More than 70% of U.S.A kids have their own television in their bedroom. Also too much t.v can lead to obesity and even violence. But a researcher Thomas Robinson, MD, associate professor of pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine, was quote saying, "This study doesn't prove that putting a television in your child's bedroom will decrease his or hers test scores, but it does add to the increasing evidence that it's not a good idea."
  I personally don't think having a t.v in your room is bad, it depends on what your watching, and how long are you watching it. Lets say Paris Hilton's My New BFF is not a good show to watch beacause she is a bad influence. If you think you watch to much t.v talk to your parents.

Highschool + Drama = Degrassi

  If your a girl you probably know Highschool + Drama = Degrassi my favorite t.v show of all time.  Let me tell you some more about Degrassi. Degrassi is a school that has a lot of drama. It also shows the challenges of being a teenager. For example, relationships, cheating, personal promblems, health, and bullying. Since it's a drama they exaggerate sometimes but it does give good lessons on what is right and wrong.
   My favorite charactor is Clare Edwards. She is very smart, caring, shy at times, and takes risks every once in a while. Clare always tries to do the right thing like a "Goody Two Shoes" which her older sister Darcy finds annoying while trying to have a relationship. She is in second year of highschool (tenth grade). Her friends include Alli and Adam. She is in a relationship with Eli. Now you know why I love Degrassi so much!
