Reality TV and Over-Exaggerating Parents!!!

Almost every teenager watches reality TV shows. Adults always say that these shows are brainwashing us. Are they just over-exaggerating? I mean they try to look out for the best for us but banning us from watching some of our favorite shows is a little too much.
I think they are taking this too seriously sometimes. Not all shows are horrible. Some shows teach life lessons to young teens and they sometimes send out messages as to what we should do and what we shouldn’t do for the world and for ourselves. Some of the shows show what people are doing in the world or about different lifestyles.
I also agree with parents when they do over-exaggerate when its shows not appropriate for young kids. I think that some shows are rated a little too low for what they actually should be rated. Even though they beep words out, we still know what they are saying. They mind as well just not beep them out. Although if parents do want to catch their kids watching a show they told them not to and they start hearing the beeps, it’s a great way to know that the child shouldn’t be watching that. Sometimes parents do what’s best for us and don’t want us to get in trouble later into the future.
I think that parents are just trying to keep us safe. Kids just need to stop talking back if they know it’s not appropriate. If your parents tell you not to watch something because they think its inappropriate just let them know that it’s not and it’s about something normal and safe and won’t have an affect over your life.
