TVOFFCAMPAIGN

The more we talk about why our children are failing in school and all the major distractions, we begin to take a hard look at how television has greatly influenced our youth. Yes, we can pull some positives out of watching television but overall the effects of watching television can be very negative.

Study To Win kicked off it’s “Turn The Television Off” campaign January 25-31 asking for everyone young and old, parents as well as children to turn the television off for the last seven days in each month (January – December).

More and more our youth are getting involved in gangs, quitting school, using drugs, committing suicide, getting shot in the head, or going to jail. I know, you heard it all before, but hearing about it and doing something about it is another thing. This generation of young people need all responsible hands on deck! What role will you play in helping our young people get focused, motivated, and be all that God has created them to be? Try turning the television off and spending time with your family, your kids, maybe a neighbor who need to see your friendly face every now and then! Yes, there are other things you can do while the television is off. I suggest in these tough times, find something that’s a little more creative to do than sitting glued in front of the big screen. How much effort does it take to sit in front of a television screen? Oh yeah, it does take a little more effort now days since we have two and three remote controls.
