Researchers speculate that teens who watch a lot of television may internalize a lot of what they see, leading to feelings of hopelessness and depression. They also may neglect social or athletic activities that might provide more positive experiences.
More studies need to be done, but parents should definitely make an attempt to limit the time their adolescents spend in front of the tube. To read more about the study, see Teen TV Time Tied to Adult Depression.

Thought this to be a very interesting post. I do believe we've become as a nation t.v. zombies.
This is very interesting, as we have a tv-free house.
I see from the article that other forms of electronic entertainment are lumped in as well though - even listening to the radio. I'm not sure I'm convinced about the conclusions.
That's interesting though not totally surprising. I think TV (especially these days) just gives kids a totally unrealistic view of life and it's no wonder it leads to depression. Thanks for the post, it was great info!
Yo soy de tu misma opinión , los jóvenes deben dejar la TV, los ordenadores y salir a la calle jugar con sus amigos, ir a pasear, hacer deporte y reunirse con otros amigos solo para charlar , reir y porqué no, llorar también.
