Why disney channel is bad for kids




















I must confess my innate bias, since I was not able to watch the shows I originally wanted and was also quite disappointed to find that Disney Channel no longer aired the shows I once worshipped.

Nevertheless, I still was unpleasantly surprised by what Disney Channel has become. With all the advancements in technology, social media pressure and the accessibility to virtually anything on the Internet, children are growing up much faster. Trending Beat the system with these drug test tips BU alumna nominated to be head of U. They all wear tank tops over long sleeves shirts and it often looks like they bought out a Claires. However, they do have to conform to strict Disney Channel dress codes while also avoiding any identifiable brands and making sure to express each character's individual personality.

Not to mention the fact that the majority of these shows centre around middle school kids. There was experimentation. I tried several different styles until I found one that felt like me. You know what? Maybe this one is actually right. Maybe these shows are nothing but kids' stuff, and maybe that makes me immature for loving them so much.

But I genuinely enjoy these shows. They make me laugh and their lessons still touch my heart. Kids are not conceited, nor naive enough to believe they are done learning. I think that these shows have something to teach anyone who watches them. No matter what age you are, we all need to be reminded to think about how our actions affect others. And that you should always be honest with yourself and the people you love. Walt Disney created an amazing company that brought joy to so many people and it still does.

He should be proud of a legacy that endures and continues to connect generations of people. We'll never know what Walt liked nor what he would have thought about a show about a psychic teen or a part-time spy part-time cheerleader. Entertainment has evolved so much since the 90's, and it will continue to constantly evolve for the rest of time.

Laugh tracks are definitely not a favourite of mine. I once had a friend that would refuse to watch any show that had a laugh track on it. Do you know how much television that eliminates? True, the majority of Disney Channel sitcoms do have laugh tracks. These laugh tracks can sometimes become incredibly invasive and annoying. Nothing ruins a good show more than an awkward and brief eruption of laughter that occurs every 37 seconds.

This is especially true after nothing funny was said. Robby Ray was a bumbling baboon but he has a kind heart, knows when to put his foot down, and he just wants his children to grow up into the best versions of themselves. Miley and friends can be quite rude with each other, but it feels like they have relationships in which these jabs are accepted. But a more important aspect of the show is the lessons it taught.

Every episode seems to focus on the importance of honesty, hard work, and respect. I also enjoy how the show shed a light on the darker side of fame: the paparazzi, the scandals, and the fake campaigns and relationships that get forced on stars. Quality is genuinely subjective, and something that one person loves could be hell to another.

While there are some shows that might not be for everyone, there are some solid gems on the Disney Channel that should not be overlooked. Gravity Falls is one of the greatest long-form shows that I have ever seen. Disney movies also teach little girls they are supposed to be complacent and weak if they want to be successful.

Aurora, as the perfect woman, is depicted as extremely demure. In every case she is merely whisked through the story, rarely taking a proactive stance. The vast majority of women who do use power in Disney movies are the villains. Ursula is the sea-witch people go to when their problems cannot be solved by ordinary means. While men in Disney films are allowed to be aggressive, they are not allowed to be much else.

I did not even know his name was Prince Phillip until I saw the movie. I thought his name was Prince Charming. All of this teaches the boys who watch Disney movies they need to be strong, but silent and withdrawn, to be successful. Many of the movies and characters created by Disney are far more of an unacceptably bad influence on children than we realize.

Parenting groups have long blamed more adult media for the problems with our youth, everything from the obvious violent television to the mundane school. Where they have failed to look is what seems like the least likely place: Disney. It destroys them. It makes me seriously concerned about these young generations that grow up watching such garbage. I find it odd that on Disney Channel, they show commercials about standing up to bullying, when the shows, such as Jessie and K.

Undercover are including children making fun of each other, and following it with a laugh track. Most of the rude or inappropriate jokes that they make are not even funny.

Gosh Disney Channel! On Good Luck Charlie, they were so nice to each other and showed sympathy for each other. What happened to that? I Google this topic to see if any other parent feels as I do about these shows. I am so relieved to hear I am not alone! My son started and still is at times being very testy and rude so I started really listening to what they were watching and was appalled.

I called the candle company and had the channel blocked so no more Disney in our house. What is wrong with people? Look parents, look how educational we are! Look at it! They ended up making a complete mess of it.

They just made yet another goddanmed cut-out caricature of an Aspergian, and basically just reinforced the frustrating stereotypes that so many of us on the autism spectrum are so frigging sick of. I hate Disney Channel so darn much. No more Disney shows here! You are so right on. The kids are smarter and more mature than the parents. Kids love this shit! And, shit it is. I wish PBS had shows geared more toward the middle schooler. Disney, like the media, clearly has an agenda: to brainwash the masses.

They target groups who are impressionable and prey on our vulnerabilities. Children desperately want to fit in. Often times these images are unrealistic. Disney princess, anyone? And they start to doubt themselves…which creates a perfect recipe for consumerism and mind control. Snarky female characters and witless males. When people stick together and create meaningful relationships and bonds, they become stronger.

But these shows, in their pushing of bad attitudes and bullying, actually discourage kindness and true friendship because to lack social support is to lack power.

When I was still a young teen, and not even a little kid anymore, I would continue to watch Disney and I was in a delicate stage of my life back then. Looking back, I realize just how awful it is. I watched Disney throughout my entire childhood, and throughout my whole teenage years. I loved it.
