Nowadays, short videos are very popular among teenagers. Almost every student likes watching them in their spare time. They bring us joy and new information, but they also cause many bad influences on our study and daily life. Therefore, we should use short videos in a correct and reasonable way.
Short videos have certain advantages. After long hours of studying, we often feel tired and stressed. Watching relaxing and interesting videos can help us release pressure quickly. Moreover, many educational videos provide us with useful knowledge, latest news and practical life skills. They allow us to learn more things outside textbooks and broaden our horizons.
However, short videos bring more disadvantages to students. The biggest problem is time waste. Most teenagers lack self-control. We usually plan to watch videos for a short while, but we end up spending too much time on our phones. As a result, we cannot finish our homework on time. Some students even stay up late scrolling videos, which makes them sleepy and unable to concentrate in class the next day.
In addition, some videos contain meaningless or negative content, which may mislead our values. Long screen time also hurts our eyes and makes us lazy. We gradually lose interest in outdoor sports and real communication with others.
In my opinion, short videos are just tools. We should set a proper time limit and choose positive content. As students, we must put our study first. Only by using short videos wisely can we benefit from them.
