It depends on what you watch. Some Disney and Nick shows can influence kids that lying and stealing is okay. One show that is a terrible influence to teens is Degrassi. It makes sex and stuff like that look perfectly fine. I'm not saying every show is bad, it's just that tv makes bad things look okay.
It can be.
it is not a bad influence
Tom and Jerry is a bad influence but it's hilarious and your kids aren't dumb enough to imitate everything they see on TV

It all depends on what your watching, and it could hurt your vision, and you can become addicted
Pink - Bad Influence!
This is the age-old question of does life imitate art or art imitate life. There is no doubt that TV can have a profound influence on certain people, usually youngsters. It can be either a good or bad influence, or sometimes a little of both.
They aren't necessarily bad they just influence children badly
No i think it is just a stupid debate. They say it is bad but kids learn a lot and they don't get fat fro TV it is because they eat too much
The bad effects if television is that,=it is very addicting and changes your behaviour.==it also is a bad influence in some ways like the nudity and the bad language.==:)=
Pop stars are not neccesarily a bad influence on society, but they're influence is powerful. Whether it is good or bad depends on how you think people should behave. Pop stars, tv stars and musicians determine what society wears, buys, and should beleive. I think it is bad because rather than looking to parents and elders for guidance people are so envolved in how other people(stars) are living which is not realistic. Maybe this has led to why teenagers have become so depressed, drink and do more drugs, have eating disorders, take steroids. We have to harm our bodies to have fun because were trying to live like what we see on tv and cause of societies structure which you could say the government has had a bad influence on. Just my opinion at the moment...
Boy bands are a bad influence because you see all these boys growing up now and when they see the boy bands on tv they will go oooh why cant i be like that and that is another boy band and it influences girls to act all stupid over gay looking boys.
