Did you know many students all around the world are mentally or physically ill and there
is one reason
behind this… it's their screen time. Well honestly we all watch electronic gadgets don’t we well I have a
question… Do you have a limited time? I will be honest I have no limited time but my limited time
reminders is my mother. Good evening DTM Ahmed Rizvi Fellow Gavilers and most welcomed guest. So
let us start with the advantages of having limited screen time.
Firstly, Improved sleep… There are many people and children all around the world who are so addicted
that they could watch their electronic gadgets all day. They are so addicted that they sleep really late. If
they stop doing this they could get their average 8 or 9-hour sleep. Secondly, lower risk of obesity… just
like the last one people and children all around the world are so addicted that they forget their physical
fitness. Even when they are eating they would have their eyes on their screen which means they don’t
even know what they are even eating. They are soo addicted that they forget about their social life.
Without dealing with their social life they would lose their confidence or have more anxiety. Now let us
go to the disadvantages of not having a limited amount of screen time. Students all around the world do
not like studying and instead, they would always spend time with their electronic gadgets. The main
thing about electronic gadgets is social media. You all might be wondering, there is no harm well
WRONG! There are many ways students could get mentally ill or depressed. The most unpleasant part of
social media is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying could happen in many ways for example; Harassing
students, excluding them from public events, and Spreading rumors. The most effective one is spreading
rumors because in my opinion this one false statement said by a person could spread like wildfire . By
doing this there are dark effects about this… students would get depressed, and lose their confidence,
Get bad thoughts for example suicidal thoughts and this would even affect the student's school work.
And that is why I believe that students should have limited screen time. I my self is also addicted, but I
still get a break from watching. I think that all of you Gavilers also do that and I appreciate it.
Here is story I will tell you. Its what happen to me. I try to have a limited screen time you know why ?
Well have a guess… It is because of my mother. Ok so one day it was a holiday… That day I had nothing
to do so my usual thing was to play some games. When I was playing games my mother came up hit me
write in the back with her slipper. She asked my what I was doing I said since I don’t have anything to do
then she gave me another hit in my back after that I had go down and stay there for 2 hours on the hot
sun. so that is why I have a limited screen time sometimes.
In conclusion, Students should have screen time, but that does not mean students should totally stop
watching gadgets, still there should be a balanced amount of screen time. This also includes adults in
this way the world could be in a better place. Before I end my speech I would like to end it with a quote
remember Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it
today. Thank You and have a magnificent day.
