So, imagine walking home from a long day at school, and your all tired out, so the second you get back, you launch yourself onto the couch and start tapping around on your iPad, watching Youtube. But then suddenly. out of nowhere your mom comes in and takes your iPad away from you! "Too much screen time is bad for you, now go and read a book!" She says. Well, believe it or not, that's exactly what happened to me, and a thought flung into my head. Is too much screen time bad for you?

After researching for about an hour, I found out a disappointing answer. Yes, it is. Not only does too much screen time ruin your eyesight, but it also can lead to obesity, sleep problems, chronic neck and back problems, depression, anxiety and lower test scores in children. Don't believe that last one? Well, it is actually pretty true. If you think logically, the childs mind will only be thinking about social media and games, instead of concentrating in their work.

Now you know why your parents always tell you to get off your gadgets, so trust me, if you listen to them, you wont regret it. But then again, why do our parents always go on their gadgets? That is another question to look foward to!
