Teenagers always spend hours in texting (发短信) , communicating on Facebook (脸谱网) and playing video games. Some parents worry about their kids very much. But many of kids spend time sitting in front of TV too.      This comes an interesting question: Is Facebook really worse for teenagers than a TV series (电视连续剧) ?

   Douglas Gentile,a child psychologist (心理学家) and professor at Iowa State University,says texting,Facebook and video games are not bad. They are not better or worse than watching TV,although they do have different problems,such as cyberbullying (网络暴 力) .

  But research shows that the more time kids spend in front of screens一TV or the Internet一the worse they did at school.

    Patti Rowlson,a mother of two,says this is still a topic of discussion in her house. She and her husband really don't know how to limit their kids when to watch TV or search the Internet.

     Professor Gentile said, “If sitting in front of the screen takes the place of doing their homework for too long,that will be bad. ”
