Among these, Internet safety is a new concern while Childhood Obesity is the rapidly rising health problem for American adults. Parents should deaddict the children from Television and Internet. They should encourage the children to take more outdoor activities. Government should ban unhygienic junk food ads on television and print medium.

 

 

Government should control violence and sex content in TV Channels and movies. These days, children are exposing to sex and violence at an early age. If this trend continues, teen pregnancy and school violence will occupy top slots in the future surveys.

 

 

Please share your health concerns.
