Given that children's exposure to television is too inevitable, parents may wonder what they can do to protect their children from experiencing these and other negative effects.”

There are students who are just influenced by their friends to watch these certain kinds of programs. It means that there are still some of the parents who are not doing their responsibility as guardians of their children. It is because of their job or that their time is too invested in their businesses. On the other hand, children always believe that they can do anything that they want, choose their own path and decide on their own because they think that they have this kind of freedom which kept them from doing wrong things. As a result, it could ruin lives and make the, more miserable just by watching these inappropriate programs.
