Childhood and TV

I remember getting off the bus and running down my long drive way to the house. I would run inside drop my backpack, rip off my shoes and bolt into my room. I then turned the TV on hurried into the kitchen got some fruit snacks and ran back into my room and slammed the door. I plopped my self right in front of my super small bulky TV only to enjoy and hour of cartoons before my parents came home.

This was my typical after school experience for the 11 years I was in school. I always watched TV after school and still watch it everyday after work. My TV was my best friend no matter what state of mind I was in. MY parents never really cared what I watched they would just come in see what I was doing and left. It was my thing and my time they didn't care. This has affected me now. I feel like the more vulguar a show is the better. Since I never was censored I grew up knowing a lot I probably shouldn't have for my age. Sometimes it got me in big trouble and sometimes I was just the smart kid.


TV affects every child no matter what they watch, when they watch it or how. If it is censored or not it is still going to have some impact on the child's life believe it or not. I believe that censoring up to a certain age is reasonable but then you have to realize that what they are hearing out in the world or school is probably ten times worse than the television.
