Some parents think that there should be a ban
against tweeting, texting, laptops, smartphones, etc. from their teens’
bedrooms. They are entitled to their opinion of limiting their entertainment
screen time to two hours a day, excluding homework. I happen to disagree with
this recommendation because though they can all be linked to lack of sleep,
cyber-bullying, and many other conflicts, I think that kids should be able to do
what they want on their computers, smartphones, etc. for more than just two
hours a day. But, I believe that if your child is a victim or the cause of
cyber-bullying and if it is affecting their school work because of the lack of
sleep, then they should be limited. I think that if a parent limits a kid to
their technology use then that will make them want to use it even more and will
become them to be very deceitful. Also, at night many teens lay in their beds
waiting to fall asleep, but at the same time they’re using their phones. Teens
complain about being tired in school because they didn’t get enough sleep, and
most of this is due to the use of entertainment screens. Therefore, I think that
teens should only be limited to their phones at night if it is having a negative
impact on them. Otherwise, I believe that teens should have as much time on
their entertainment screens as long as it is not affecting their school and
social lives.
