What are some reasons for taking a television out of the house?

Hi. I'm 14 years old, and I don't want to have television in our house anymore. When I try to get homework done, it is very distracting. Also, I think the shows on t.v. are really bad. How can I convince my parents to get rid of the t.v.? I think it would be more peaceful if we did.

explain to your parents your good idea...tell them to lock the tv in their bedroom.

you're too dedicated in your studies..that's good..

lol

you're going to expect your parents to get rid of a tv to stop you from doing school work? not going to happen... in case you didn't know, TVs are kinda expensive and its nice to have one around on lazy days...

how about you go into another room?

or possibly just try to self motivate yourself? you know the tv is distracting... so stay away from it. not that hard :D

lol sorry, but if you're getting distracted, motivation IS an issue for you....

this is the first time i have ever seen a teen ask for the TV to be taken out, pretty impressive if you ask me, it is your parents house, and its a type of liesure for most people, so i don't think it would be very fair for your parents

That's a little extreme. TV is relaxing =)

I recently stop drinking soda, I haven't had a sip in 11 days, I was addicted. But my parents like having soda to drink, but I don't ask them to take it out of the house.

Don't watch the T.V. Just go to your rooms for hw also

there all your problems are solved plus you won't have to complain to your parents.

kelsie is correct.
