NCB Now: Our shout! - Should children have TVs in their bedrooms?

"It's very important for children to have their own independence and space. However, being involved and engaged fully within the family unit is also if not more important to one's personal development." - Rajay, 17, Coventry

"I think every young person has a right to receive information via themedia, and watching television is one way to do this. Most young peoplewill balance watching television with a healthy social life." - Hannah,17, Wolverhampton

"I think it is okay for children to have TVs in their bedrooms providedtheir parents are aware of what the children are watching." - Hamish,15, Cornwall

"No, they shouldn't because it will distract them from helping in thehouse and going to sleep at the right time." - Hamza, 11, Essex
