But the irony for this issue is that , parents tend to forget

their responsibilities as parents in supervising their kids , due to their hectic schedules and demands of their work , especially in watching television where children are expose to different kinds of indecent advertisements and commercials . Parents should allot time in spending quality moments and be on the side of their children in for them to explain the advertisements and commercials which have an adult content . Television is a very powerful tool to the learning of the children and it can educate them in many ways whether it is profitable or destructive to their morals and values It contributes much most especially when parents let their children watch indecent television shows anytime of the day without their supervision .

The existence of alcohol on TV resorts the gamut from prime-time programs .In addition , the researched informed us that those who are TV addicts are more similarly to smoke cigarettes and marijuana However , parents are not open in discussing issues such as birth control , sexually transmitted disease and sex and even schools are lacking to give information about sex education programs and due to such reasons , children are able to acquire sex information through watching TV .
