We all have been there; when our parents verbally victimize television. How they yank the electrical cord from the outlet and then wave it at us — as if they're waving a finger at us. What if I tell you: they are wrong to do so?

Television does have its negative aspects. But, you can turn them into advantages. Here are four drawbacks of watching television and the solutions that can help you gain countless I told you so moments.

1. You Waste Time Watching TV.

Somewhat true. Only if you actually are wasting time; watching your favorite TV shows with homework piled up and assignments due the next day!

Solution: Watch TV when you're done with your academic responsibilities.


2. You Never Learn Anything from It.

Don't let them say it!

Solution: Watch science channels and informative talk-shows.


3. It Damages Eyesight.

This one's a no-brainer.

Solution: Don't watch it from too close. Duh.


4. Some Content Is Unhealthy.

Alright. Challenge accepted!

Solution: Make sure you're seen watching food channels and morning exercise shows.


Let's make the most of this box of both pros and cons.
