What happens when you are on Reality Tv and you were very excited about this, but you are worried you might mess up and cry on stage, in front of your audience! Listen what I have to say about Reality Tv.  Today I will be writing about why kids shouldn't be on Reality Tv. Kids shouldn't be on Reality Tv because it will cause them to already act like they are adults and actors and can make them stress and have drama. Kids should not be on Reality Television because it will make them stressful and have a very hard time when they get older and hurt self esteems.

Kids shouldn't be on Reality Television because claim 1 says "Reality Television can sometimes make a kid stress." Early fame can be harmful and make kids struggle as adults. For example "7 year-old Alana Thompson A.K.A Honey Boo Boo and her family discuss about their farts, pick their noses, and chug "Go-Go Juice; a mixture of Mountain Dew and Red Bull." So for this comment about Honey Boo Boo, this is reason kids shouldn't be on Reality Television because they can talk or show something very nasty and want people to just say "I didn't want to see that or hear that." Also it can make other children be jealous of that person on Television because other kids can think they are showing off and thinking they are better than them. However, people say that "Letting kids be on Reality Television, will make them feel like everyone respects them as an adult and actor." Yeah but, Letting kids acting like adults and actors, isn't a very good thing. They can accidently give personal information away without knowing what they just said. Plus, this can ruin their life because people could call them names or something disgusting, just because what they said or showed. So that concludes on my 1st claim why Reality Television can sometimes make a kid stress.

Kids shouldn't be on Reality Television because claim 2 says "Reality Television can make kids lose focus on scholl work." Some kids are too young to drive or to home facebook. Some aren't even mature. For example "Everyone is different, some kids may be able to deal with such an experience at a younger age than others, but being in the spot light as a kid can have long-term consequences." So for this comment about kids having long-term consequences, this is another reason kids shouldn't be on Reality Television because when they go to school, they might say to other children that "I'm better than you and everyone loves me, not you." Also kids can start failing in schools because they can say to their teacher "I don't need to do this because im famous and even if i get kicked out of school, I still got a job." However, people say that "Giving kids the chance to show what they got in them, will make their self proud and other people, like their family, proud." Yeah but, Kids can get long-term consequences, even if they show too much of their expierence. Other people can copy them of what they say or do, like a catchphrase. Plus, kids who are on Reality Television, in specific states, their is laws that don't apply kids that are on Reality Television, but, aren't considered actors. So that concludes on my 2nd claim why Reality Television can make kids lose focus on school work.

So now, how would you think this through? Would you go up to the stage and show everyone what you got and later on face long-term consequences or just leave the stage and never face the consequences. Think this through young one, think this through.
