  1. Well there are lots of harmfull affects like smoking, drugs, violence, swearing and just disobeying rules. I think it depends on what programs they are say if it was packed to the rafters or glee they would be fine and some murder mysteries. some bad showsw not so much.

  3. Well i reckon the most harmful affects are probably violence, smoking, drugs, drink driving and swearing.

    I think that i should be allowed because some aren't so bad like georgie said, like packed to the rafterrs and criminal minds is ok. But yeah, I think we should be alowed. But if it is really violent and all that we should go to bed. But we should probably watch the ok violent ones with our parents in the room.

  4. I think there are lots of harmful effects of watching an AO program such as smoking, drugs, violence, swearing, nightmares and lots more.
    But I still think that I should still be able to watch them because some of them are comedy shows and they aren't so bad with influencing us to smoke and all that, and also packed to the rafters as sarah said but we probably shouldn't be watching the really violent ones unless if a parent is in the room.

  5. Adult Programs can be bad influences on people. Most of the time, children who are watching them don't understand whats going on anyway.
    It's my choice if I want to watch programs made for adults, if it's an R18 horror program or something like that, I wouldn't WANT to watch it. Other adult programs are fine. So I am sensible when I choose what programs I want to watch.

  6. Q.1 : Well... there are lots of harmful affects that could occur but u cant evolve your life around t.v and you make your personal choices that shouldn't make any difference weather you watch t.v or not!!

    Q.2 : Yes! They are very interesting. There are some bad things but there are great things aswel because it could inspire you to become a doctor or an F.B.I agent depending on what you watch. Again its a personal choice it could do you good to watch these programs but it can also do bad things to you but you should be mature enough to choose your own programs and its also up to ur parents if there willing to let you watch those types of programs

  7. Like Suzannah said; 'Adult Programs can be bad influences on people. Most of the time, children who are watching them don't understand whats going on anyway. '
    I think there are lots of harmful effects of watching tv that we shouldn't. Like, we could see people doing something on tv and then start thinking it was ok to do it. Or people could start having nightmares and stuff.
    But, hey, if you want to get creeped out and have nightmares, go ahead. Watch the shows.

  9. we childern shouldn't be watching adult programs because we will learn bad language and see thing that we shouldn't see until we're older and more mature, and we learn things that we think is ok to do for exsample violece we will use it to get what we want. me and my parents think that young childern shouldn't watch adult programs.

  10. There are a lot of harmful affects like doing drugs and thinking it's okay because the characters on a show do it. I think their being to picky about some shows and it's okay to watch them as long as your parents think you're mature enough or if you can watch it with them.-Lucy :)

  11. i think that some of the programs are bad and we shouldn't watch becaues they might have rude seens or stuff like doing DRUGS or SMOKING and some people think it's cool to do stuff like that. I think that it's ok to watch if your parents say so or watch it with you.

  12. hi
    A 2 Q.1:
    ok i think that there can be plenty of harmful effects like drugs,alchohol,swearing,violence and other stuff ---...

    A 2 Q.2:
    I think if you are watching something that is unsuitable for you then dont but i guess if you are sensible and your mum is watching it with you or your parents have given you permission then i guess it is ok but if your too young then dont because they might be influenced!!!

  16. i think that we should be alowed to watch over rated programs but only if your perants know some of them are not even that bad and about the swearing most of us allready know all the swear words and use them also so that diferance would it make if we here them in a program every once in a while and now the violence the most of the violent ones are animated so it is not real and if people become violent because of programs it wont only be because of the program it will be from other things aswell now about the drugs the only programs that ive seen about drugs have been about what drugs can do to you and how they are bad so it wont make any differance if you watch or not or mayby itwill in a good way

  17. The most harmful effect in children watching adult programs is violence because in the future the children would probably think it is ok. Some of the other harmful effects would have to be having nightmares and swearing and also disobeying the rules. Oh and almost forgot some t.v programs have a lot of smoking and drugs involved in the program and it doesnt set a very good example.
    We have sky and there is a parental lock so we cant get into most adult programs. But if my parents are in the room watching and my little brother has gone to bed I am allowed to watch the program that I want to watch which would normally be M or below. For me watching an adult program doesnt effect me but I still dont think I should be watching a lot of the adult programs.

  18. I think it is up to the parents on what you watch as with sky you can put a parental lock on it. Also most people don't understand what happens in programs like swearing or drugs because the shows are meant for older influences. I think you should be able to watch what you want if your parents say you can.

  19. joe said i think kids should be aloud to watch tv after 8.30 if the rating is r 18 they should not or you could put the parental lock option but you only get that choice if your not on chanels 12,3 because they are not sky if they are 9 or 10 they should not because they dont know if violence is bad or not i believe that r 18 should only be veiwed for adults m ,r16 and below doesn,t worry me or though some have lots of violence.my opinion is that those ciminlal minds ar fine but some medical programes are disgusting i mean seeing the insides of people but most of it are fake i can pick it up if it,s fake but the real ones are yuckky and some times they can give you bad nightmares and at night you may not be able to sleep ,then you could be tierd for school the next day . by joe :)and ha ha mat and terri mines bigger now

  20. Q1: what are the the harmful effects of waching adult programs: you can become violent and want to do whats on tv and become like that, drugs smoking and swearing are also very big problems.

    Q2: Should I be be watching television programs that are made for adult viewing: its up to your parents what you wach but personally i think you should be able to wach things after 8:30 or so on, i depends on how much bad stuff is in it.

  21. the harmful effects are that you could start fights,do drugs,and swear.

    I think i should be able to watch AO rated programmes because on tv they rate most things past 8:30 AO and some of them are'nt even that bad

  22. The harmful effects of watching progams that arent meant for your age group are that they may tempt you to do what they are doing on thoose progams.

    It should be up to your pearents if you can watch progams that are rated AO and are not sutable for you. It also depends how you can handle that content.
