It has been proven from multiple researchers that watching violent television leads to more aggression later in life. In 1956, a study was performed on kids who watched an episode of "Woody Woodpecker" and found that kids were more likely to hit other children and break toys than kids who watched a nonviolent cartoon. Kids who watched more than one hour on television as a teenager were 60% more likely to be involved in a fight or act of aggression. Parents need to be more aware of what their kids are watching and monitor them when watching aggressive, violent T.V.
