ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Violence on TV freaks me out

 
My parents watch a bunch of crime shows like Law and Order, NCIS and CSI. I have a feeling they’re affecting me. I imagine violence everywhere. It makes me afraid to go places and fall asleep. I think I need a psychologist. Do you?

 

Dear Traumatized,

I think you need to walk away from the television. Ask your parents to watch these shows in their bedroom or after you’re asleep. Even if they keep watching in the open, you don’t have to. I never watch scary shows—they spook me, too. By the way, real life is nowhere near as dangerous as TV makes it seem. You should be smart and sensible and safety-conscious, but you should not be paranoid. Still worried? Talk over your fears with your school counselor.

okay so im really mad at my bus driver
so me and my friends were being too loud so the bus driver said to me "ill go to your house and talk to your mom if you dont be quiet"
well we got in trouble again and he said the same thing i think its really sexist is it or am i over thinking
p.s. he's 79 if that helps

Hey girlie,

I don't think that sounds sexist at all! Bus drivers have a right to ask their passengers to follow the bus rules, including maintaining an appropriate noise level. He was saying that as a warning for you to be quiet, so try to be more respectful of him and the other passengers on your school bus next time you ride to school. Then he won't have to talk to your mom and everyone will enjoy the ride more! I would also thank him for the ride when you get off at your stop because that would probably make him happy and would show that you appreciate what he's doing for you Smile

Just stop watching them, I think its like anything else we watch, the more you watch it the more you think about it. I think some of the stuff they show is very gross, that is why I dont watch it all the time. I would rather watch something with hot guys in it than violence.
