Is having a TV in your bedroom good or bad?

Do you have a TV in your room? I’m going to tell you my experience about having a personal TV in my bedroom.
I think it is an awesome thing to have in my bedroom because I use it to help me fall asleep when I’m having a hard time getting rest, if it’s for school the next day or anything like that.
One reason that I love having my TV in my bedroom is that I can watch whatever I want without any distractions or anyone changing the channel and making me angry or upset.
But not everything is great about having a TV in your room. Here is the main reason: It is an easy way to get off topic when you are doing your homework, and then you have to face consequences the next day.
If you are able to watch it without being distracted, then I hope you can get one like me.
